- Recorded on Sunday April 14, 2019 just a day before the catastrophic fire engulfed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, altering the city's skyline and threatening a potent symbol of Catholicism at the start of Holy Week.
Morning in Paris the city awakes to the bells of Notre Dame
The Fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes, to the bells of Notre Dame.
@@rolebo1 to the big bells as loud as the thunder!
Gray K to the little bells soft as a plasm
@@NBStudi0s lol did you mean psalm?xD
Its fishy...
Big Ben is the heartbeat of London.
Notre Dame is the soul of Paris.
*_Both have fallen silent_*
My heart sank reading your words ......I have decided to pray & storm heavens for Europe.... your words will be remembered constantly in heaven....
Replaced by the 'call to prayer '
Sadness.
Big Ben is back striking the hours away. Hopefully notre-dame won't be too far off. I have heard that they have already started constructing the new spire exactly how the original one was. Including the deformations from the original which is cool. The base of that spire has already been lowered onto the roof.
But the word of the Lord abideth for ever.
How hauntingly beautiful...
It really is!
Downright hypnotic
Maybe not so "hauntingly" . . . beautiful. So kind of eternal . . . forever . . . how it out to be . . . you know?
For real .
Yes that's what else I was trying to describe this
I love the bell's echo
it's amazing how in the US, churches are not allowed to ring their bells because of noise complaints and it is considered noise nuisance. To me, there is nothing better than church bells on the hour, alerting you to the time of day and there is something comforting about church bells on sunday at 11AM... it's not as if they ring bells for hours or at 6AM
Sad. Church bells still allowed to ring their bells in Catholic Churches here in busy London.
Some churches in the US actually ring their bells in full peals. I only know one right now but I know there are some others.
Mark M. In my parish, St. Nicholas if Tolentine, the bells ring every hour on the hour starting at 7a.m. till 9p.m. every day of the week and, other Catholic parishes ring their bells as well. It is so beautiful especially in the morning hours. One feels as if God was calling us to go to mass.
@@daisynieves1644 wonderful Daisy - you're so lucky & blessed!
I live in the United States and I have never heard of this law. Every church in the city ring there bells, can be heard all over on Sunday.
Sleep well, Dear Notre-Dame... we shall wait for the day you will wake up again.
Frname such a beautiful sentiment!!
Now I’m crying!
Indeed! She's done well, holding out as well as she has. She's earned her rest, and we will welcome her back when she's ready.
yea it will packed
thanks for the cry man
Hearing the bells ring makes me so emotional.
Same here. I was almost crying. But I'm so happy that they saved everything! The Firefighters and the Police did a really fantastic job to save this gigantic Cathedral, I'm impressed.
Sheldon Campbell THE BELLS ARE STILL THEIR
There is somthing about church bells that calls the to our hearts when they ring out there melody. The area where i grew up here in England has a church that is 1000 years old. When you hear its bells ringing from a far from across the land it brings a sence of belonging to the land that your apart of. I felt emotional for notre dame . It was as if somthing had taken away the heart of the belonging from France and also the world as we understand it.
@@harbourwoodlandvisitor2445 They connect us to heaven. :)
@@lisafleury2168 It's our call to the Angels
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of Notre DAMMMMMMEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Oh who could ring such beautiful bells!!! The mysterious man awaits in the church ringing those majestic bells
That's how I came here
The sound of church bells has something sacred about it. It can dispel evil and calm the hearts of the anxious.
May this historic and much loved cathedral be rebuilt the soonest time possible. 🙏❤️
Salon de Simone agree!!
They are the vibrations !!!
Same here. I always thought the sound of Church bells are so sacred, it’s sort of like an alarm for me in this busy world to remind myself that “alright, time to pause whatever you’re doing for a while and say a little prayer to Our Lord.”
Just like Phoenix song!
But unfortunately, it's being replaced by the 'call to prayer'...
She really does have her own unique and beautiful tone
the genius of the builders of the Middle Ages
Yes thanks to the bell craftsmen in Normandy :)
What types of materials compose these bells? I mean I could guess bronze, or some type of tin-lead alloy, but I have no idea.
Did :(
thankfully only the roof and central spire were destroyed, the two bell towers survived the fire.
Praise God! 👐
@@rachellewalters8111 praise the fire fighters who risked their lives to save the towers
My hope is that the high heat didn't warp the bells. From what I understand about it, changes in shape will affect each bell's pitch/resonance, if badly warped.
@@TheGruffchickJournal
You can only guess if and how it affected the bells. We have to wait unfortunately...
@@schreiendeshausvomaltschau1811 Exactly. I sincerely hope everything will be alright.
A truly amazing Cathedral.
From its bells to its gargoyles and its architecture Notre-Dame is a true world wonder.
There are 154 cathedrals in France
NovaTatsu101 yes.. thank you Nova... am French and my heart is broken... I can’t even watch the cathedral burning without tears... thank Gid the Paris firemen saved the cathedral but it was close to collapse .. by 15 minutes! 💕
@@inparadisumforever blame Frollo for this!
asi espero yo con ancias que la cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris vuelva a ser la misma de antes ya a casi 6 años del fatidico incendio que sufrio la catedral
@@alejandro836 i hope so too🙏
Quasimodo busy doing his thing.
This time Quasimodo is probably Benalla, Macron's close friend, advisor and gunslinger...
@@Mermaidinfrance ...
🤣
@BRAINPARTY He's living out there among the millers, bakers, weavers and their wives lol
Quasimodo Sunday the Sunday after Easter, Low Sunday, from Latin quasi modo, the first words of the introit for this day, quasi modo geniti infantes ‘as if new-born babes’.
I’m personally not a very religious man but the beautiful symphony of the bell tolls is beautiful, the sound of the bells as loud as the thunder can be heard all around my city, it’s majestic the sound that the bells make in any church, and I wish that some day I can listen to the beautiful symphony of what once was the heart of Paris
Specifically Catholic churches. Those are the ones with the bells and elaborate decorations.
And don’t forget the little ones soft as a psalm 😉
On my bucket list.
I do believe most of the bell towers around the world were designed and built before our time, before a reset, a cataclysm. If you se the technology of some of the greatest remaining, they are grand instruments similar to an organ. The re is a video somewhere online of a lady playing it. Unbelievable if you didn’t see her play and the myriad of different shaped bells and the quantity. They were not necessarily even churches. Not everything in the old world is a temple or sanctuary.
One can be "religious" in devotion to the beautiful, the moving. Sound and music unite (one of the supposed roots of religion is that which ties together) us in our common humanity, and our shared emotion.
Hearing those bells is making me cry
When I hear the bells...the beautiful sounds run through my very soul
WifeofagrumpyoldMarine amen!
There are 2 bourdons (the great bells in the BEFFROIS-real french name of the towers) an 16 other bells
@@lheritieredumarteau6931 Now unfortunately just 10 bells in main towers and 2 bells from spire who survived, but they are probably damaged....
Breaks my heart to hear the tragedy of the fire. All my thoughts and prayers go to the people of Paris.
I'm praying for Paris right now. This is such a beautiful piece of architecture. I'm happy most of it wasn't affected. Such a relief that the firefighters were able to save it. The bells are so beautiful.
Respect the great cathedral of Notre Dame
Brocc R SING SING SING THE BELLS OF NOTRE DAME!
Thank you for capturing a moment in time before the devastation occurred. God bless France and Notre Dame as a lasting monument to those who believe.
I was there in 2015 and my heart goes out to all the citizens of France.
Much love,
Darryl
Thank you !
Merci !
🙏🏻 thank you. I miss those days before with all my heart. Something died that day. Not only in Paris.
Quasimodo did a good job.
bells Pink crazy girl
Sing The bells of Notre Dame before The hellfire amén ❤
I'm here because of my favorite Disney movie. As a young man who has a few disabilities, I was always able to connect with how Quasimodo felt. Those bells have been ringing for centuries. Hopefully they'll be ringing centuries after.
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells of Notre Dame
Now I understand why Charles Dickens wrote THE CHIMES . They are such a bewitching sound to heard them up close .
They will be heard again! Most of the Cathedral was saved, including the great Cavaille-Coll organ.
SO relieved to have seen the Grand Organ was spared! It truly is one of the most famous organs of the world. You can hear it play, and INSTANTLY recognize its sound.
I agree. I do love searching the organ pictures on the internet. So beautiful.
Great bells! Great sound! No worries. Both bell towers and the main structure are all still standing, mostly intact. These bells will ring again once the Cathedral is restored.
Thanks unto God!
We will have to wait a long time before hearing these bells again. How sad.
I remember when I lived in Lyon, always waking up to the sounds of the St. Paul church’s bells. So beautiful and sounded just like these. Brings back the nostalgia.
Thank you for sharing this. Extremely, hauntingly beautiful. To have captured this on the day before. A real treasure.
That’s for sure.
Such a beautiful carol of all those bells, especially Emmanuel with that deep, rich sound. I really appreciate whoever took this video on Palm Sunday, the day of my birthday and it was such a beautiful day in Paris. If only I could've been there before the heartbreaking day after. Notre Dame Church will live on to see another 850+ years, looking forward to her bright future!!
Thank you for this! I visited Notre Dame years ago ... a forever soul memory... overwhelmingly beautiful!❤
Evan thought I am not Catholic I am an American 🇺🇸 Jew 🇮🇱 the bells they help me with my depression especially when I have panic attacks Notre Dome and the and the bells 🔔 are the heart and soul of Paris 🇫🇷
Its creepy hearing the bells ringing before disaster strikes.
the real disaster is Satan convincing people he's Christ...
@@stardenizen5249 Oh fuck off
AlienMidget123 Hush
I am French and I cried when I saw Notre-Dame de Paris burned. We lost a great part
of our history and we lost the heart of the French Christianity. Even if I am
very sad, thank you very much for this wonderful music of the bells of
Notre-Dame that we will not hear more before a long time.
Vous n'êtes pas seuls, j'ai pleuré également. Une partie de notre mémoire est morte dans ce feu.
The day before the storm, though if the bells were ringing the day after before the fire this may have been her last song to Paris before she burned.
The bells towers are fine. Just the roof and spire burned.
Hola!@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath el andamiaje o estructura de contruccio'n de la epoca era de madera...
@@raulalfonsovidalhansen del techo y de la esteuctura especialmente ...la architecture de piedra no ha quemada naturalmente pero es mas fragile ahora que la mater es quemada
@J CH So you think intentionally causing a fire that could've potentially collapsed the entire structure was on purpose in order to 'save' it? The French State owns the building and since it was priceless insurance won't "cover it." And you also believe that the firefighters were in on it and purposely saved the cross? And even IF this was on purpose (which it wasn't), why can't people donate money to it? What is the problem with donating to save an internationally beloved monument?
Magnifique merci ! Standing right next to those bells in between the towers felt incredible like the whole church was a musical instrument. I hope I can experience that again someday and bring people along.
Thanks for downloading. Very nice views and can hear different languages of the world. Notre Dame greets and blesses all!
Home of the world famous fire resistant honeybees . Viva !
CHRIST IS RISEN....HE IS TRULY RISEN.....GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST GLORY FOREVER!!!!!!
Yes ❤❤
Astounding, looking at the building, hearing the voices of tourists, looking at what is now tragic history, lost just a few hours later
This is beautiful
Like meditation
I could listen to this all day
The bells are so beautiful ♥️💔
Is not about The bells, Is about The men who plays them ❤
Notre Dame is not only a potent symbol of Catholicism; She is a magnificently radiant symbol for ALL Christians! Let us not forget our origins, brothers and sisters. When Notre Dame was built, there were only Catholic Christians in Europe.
@Alexander Groppe - I cried when Notre Dame caught fire but Catholics were not the only Christians when Notre Dame was built. There was Eastern Orthodox Christians in Eastern Europe in places like Serbia and Greek Orthodox in Greece.
@@honeylambb9864 - I was actually referring to Western Europe - sorry - should have been more specific. Prior to 1054, all of Christianity was united under Roman Catholicism. The commencement of Notre Dame's construction took place in the following century.
😊
C'est si émouvant d'écouter le son puissant des cloches de Notre Dame, c'est comme un appel de Dieu pour faire revenir la Foi..Revenez chers fidèles je vous accueillerez les bras ouverts
.
I went here as a teenager and the beauty of this cathedral is indescribable to someone unless they actually go and visit. It will always hold a special place in my heart and I will never forget the day when I heard she was burning. What happened that day and how it ended was nothing short of a miracle. Bless those firefighters.
Such powerful bells!!!! Giving strength! I am glad they protect the bell's alcoves with bird wiring, so no birds in the towers!!! What a wonderful video, thank you!!
Those bells go on for quite a while, don't they... but dang to be capturing what is such an iconic moment, and one marred by later events.
It was Palm Sunday, so you can understand why they would go on for long time. 😊✝️❤️
I do now. Still, hauntingly beautiful, especially that sexy Maria with the F#.
Agent 505 Which one are you talking about? Marie (Second one to ring) or Emmanuel? (First one to ring.)
Both, all, whichever.
Agent 505 Well it's ONE of them. There's no bell named "Maria"
I listened to these bells within that song from the beginning of the movie detailing who is that man living up in the tower ringing those beautiful, glorious bells. I mean, you can actually hear them, thinking of the Hunchback himself, but we are all supposed to think of how majestic and beautiful they are combined with the beauty of the cathedral itself, because since that disastrous fire, you hear them and you think if you ever wanted to see Notre Dame for the first time, but now it'll take a miracle to rebuild the whole wondrous Gothic site.
I want to revisit in 2024 ❤
And yes they are rebuilding a wondrous miracle
I heard the bells escaped the fire. Thank God!
Our Blessed Lady will preserve her sanctuary. AVE MARIA GRATIA PLENA! I wept the whole day Monday.
Thomas Hogan Veni, Veni, Emmanuel!
Our blessed bourdon bell, Emmanuel shall ring again, for our Pietà, for Our Lady, and for all of Paris to hear.
Rejoice, Rejoice Emmanuel until Son of God appear.
Anyone listening to this beautiful sound in 2021?
2023 here
Sends a weird chill up my spine. The history behind those towers and their beautiful bells is emotionally overwhelming.
It's great bells and amazing Cathedral! My heart is broken after this tragedy. :-( All of Poland combines in pain and supports France. We must rebuild this magnificent cathedral.
👍🏼
Theres something about gothic architecture that's just so incredible and awe inspiring. Just look at that exquisite detail that literally no one would think about. Like that angel in the middle playing a trumpet. Whoever built that probablly never rough anyone would even realize it was there, and yet they put the effort to place it there. And the way it's designed to make you feel small. Im sure that it truly feels like you're in the presence of a more powerful being. I love gothic architecture so so much
The gargoyles are quite impressive and scary too.
The audio quality is amazing.
0:03 Just like the Big Ben in London, the Emmanuel of Notre Dame has a unique tone, that distinguishes it from every other bell in the wold. It's true that: "the soul of the city's the toll of the bells"
Thank you so much to the people that made & posted this! I’ve never been but desperately want to. Was just crushed watching the fire. Thank the Lord & Lady it wasn’t worse.
This is absolutely wonderful; to be able to hear them. Really appreciate your kindness in sharing. 💕
So beautiful and holy
Such a majestic sound
Here is a relaxing description I came up with.
Golden bells sway back and forth, each swing creating a Heavenly sensation in all those around it. You can't hear anything else, only the bells, they mesmerise you.
You levitate, you feel like you have ascended high up into the Gardens of Heavens, every tree perfect, every grass, every spots of stars. You hear the Angels sing a beautiful hymn, none like Earth. A hymn for God, the Holy spirit and the Son. There is light everywhere, no shadow ever enters the santity of Heaven. God made that light, and you feel warm.
Thanks for listening.
Amazing how one day can bring peace and tranquility and the next can bring sadness and terror.
That’s life in good ole multicultural Europe.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath You know what Khan says "It's all part and parcel of living in a global city"
Never ever faded Notre Dame in my memory and yours.
The glorious sound of those bells tolling reaches the deepest depth of my soul. Magnificent!!!
Even if after once it's rebuilt it looks exactly the same, those bells will never quite ring exactly the same way again. For they can only rebuild the building, they can't rebuild the history.
Every century has added a piece to Notre Dame and her history. In our century, she'll give us a chance to preserve skills that might otherwise did out.
Die out.
I hate autocorrect
Sasusaku4Eva! Nothing bad happened to the towers.
@@GOOOOOOSE_ I know I was speaking figuratively.
The cathedral has been rebuilt twice before. A lot of European cathedrals have experienced being partially destroyed and then rebuilt. Also, only two 3rds of the building perished. The best parts are still intact.
When I was in Paris back in 1974 I lit a candle at Notre Dame. It was the most beautiful church. I love those bells and the way they ring them in Europe. In January of last year I was across the street from Stefansdom (St. Stefan's Cathdral) in Vienna when the bells began ringing at noon. There's nothing like that in the U.S. as far as I know.
Well minus all the French and British bells we have lol. They have bell peals but don’t ring out too much
ruclips.net/video/lHlqT24tbTI/видео.html this bell peal is amazing and they actually ring out daily though as far as I’ve heard
Beauty beyond words. ❤️ God bless those souls whose blood, sweat, and tears built such a cathedral for the benefit of mankind and to the Glory of God! Amen. ✝️
Notre Dame de Paris est ma cathédrale préféré jolie son des cloches des deux tours Nord et Sud 😍avant l'incendie
The almost unbelievably high number of 875 acts of vandalism and attacks on French churches in 2018. Arson attempt in March 2019 at the Saint Sulpice church, the second largest in Paris. What's going on??
Robertt Avro NWO. Erase the past
The Internet.
@@josephastier7421 "The Internet" yeah, that and an unprecedented 875 attacks in one year.
We are being colonized by the US politically and diplomatically, by Africa and the Middle East ethnically and spiritually and by Germany and China financially and industrially
The French people and Europe in general need to return to the Church. Protect and defend your Mother.
I'd love to wake up to the sound of these gorgeous bells!
You can realise the gigantic fire it was. There was no sprinklers under roof. This was criminal.
Thank you for this. Incredibly moving.
Im not a religious man and yet I find this very beautiful, what amazing sound.
The calm before the storm
I don't know why but this made my cry. Thank you.
I was there in 1980. I'm thankful I was able to hear the pipe organ as well as the bells....
Such a joyful sound, I hear the love GOD in the bells. You can never find another church like this with such devotion and love for God anywhere else.
It will be rebuilt for Christianity, Western civilization, and for its marvelous architecture and legacy.
It's a Catholic cathedral
@@RareCandeh It's God among us..everybody included...
Not only for Christitanity.......!!!
I could listen to these bells all day long.
Paris should ring a recording of these beautiful bells as a comfort of Notre Dame’s eternal strength and renewing resilience.
Its beautyful! I cant beleve it, the bells come from the Netherlands. I see the fire on tv and i crying
Take nothing for granted in this life. It could be gone tomorrow... or the next day. Be thankful for every beautiful thing, for every moment of health, for every day in which you are aware that you live on the best planet that ever was. Dedicate yourself to do good things, and whenever possible great things.
Wow, how things can suddenly change, only if he knew that was the last day he was seeing Notre-Dame like this
Talk about a formidable experience. The building. The bells. The stature. There is a choir in the chimes if you listen. Voices leading us all. May we be so bold as to listen.
Good video and audio. Thank you for this.
The 15th of April was the day of the fire not the day before, so crazy and what a precious video right now
Demons flee at the sound of these Holy bells.
Thanks for this nice video with bells and the space between the towers! This ringing is the "Bourdonnage" for Palm Sunday.
This is Absolutely Awesome, we can still ring the Bells around the World. PRAYING FOR ALL THE PRECIOUS PEOPLE IN FRANCE.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, thank you. Like being there...
Kraftvoll faszinierend, läuten diese Glocken. Wer auch immer "Hand angelegt" hat, soll nie wieder froh sein!
Thank you for posting this video to the soinf the bells before Notre Dame just escaped burning to the ground
my god, bring back to us this very symbol of your presence.....almost 1000 years of history, how could they have built such beauty?
Beautiful.
Feels so spiritual especially seeing the clear blue sky.
It's telling it's friends " I'll be back . Don't worry . "
Thank you so much
Wow so wonderful Noter dame Church 🙏🙏🙏
The last ringings.... those beautifull sounds.... rest in peace, Notre-Dam
April 15th.
The day the Titanic plunged beneath the waves.
The day Abe Lincoln died.
The day Notre Dame caught fire.
How many other tragic events must happen on April 15th?
Imagine the moment those things are going under their own steam for the first time after Notre-Dame is finally rebuilt and you're standing there listening to all of it in awe.
The best is to see the beauty of the architecture while listening to the bells
If it was recorded on the 15th, it was taken on the same day. Since it looks like it was taken only a few hours before
You know I was just thinking that! I was thinking, "How Convieeeenient it is to have someone up there the day before recording the bells of Notre Dame? Who's to say it wasn't the DAY OF the fire? What was their business up there? They couldn't record it from ground level!? So many questions...
Very upsetting And emotional what happened on that day but I’m happy the bells survived the fire. Love to see this soon when it’s finished in a few years
This brought tears to my eyes, and grateful memories.
Thank you to the person who posted this.
Still beautiful after centuries .
Still beautiful after centuries .
Makes the heart and soul dance ❤️🌹🎶
