Beats to study / relax to
Woke
ciao bro, meriti un like :D
Not what I would choose but everybody has their preferences
smart choice
😂😂😂😂
Sometime it takes several clock alarms to wake me up in the morning. So once I decided to set this as my alarm music, and then the next morning, I was startled out of the bed as soon as the first note started. Not at all was I able to fall asleep again. I was so terrified that it took me a minute to figure out what just happened. Though it served the purpose, never will I ever use that terrifyingly creepy music as my clock alarm again.
Greetings! Fancy seeing you here
@@victorarul9139 Greetings!!!! 😂 It's not surprising since we've studied this piece for a term!
I think that it is the purpose of Crumbs music, terrifying and creepy.
I discovered Penderecki the same way!!!!!!!!!!!! I set my stereo (loud )on a timer set to a classical station!
@@srandovnijelinek I think the purpose of Crumb's music extends far beyond "creepy".
I'll never forget going to see this work live when I was about 12 or 13. It was the last piece of the program. After they finished, folks started to leave the hall. I just sat in my seat for a few minutes, absorbing what I had just saw. At some point, I realized everyone had left the concert hall, except for me. And George Crumb. Accompanied with 2 or 3 of his friends. Shocked that the man himself was here, I immediately went up to him and thanked him for composing such a brilliant and creative work. I remember asking him something along the lines of "How on earth do you compose this stuff?" He replied, "Oh, I just pick up my violin and play around making different kinds of sounds and just write down what I come up with." If only it was that simple for the rest of us. I'll always remember his big smile and friendly personality. He immediately seemed like such a genuine, friendly, and warm person, especially to me, a jittering nervous kid excited to meet one of his favorite modern composers (And if you're wondering, yes, I was a big music nerd back in middle school. Still am.).
Many months too late, but RIP to one of the most creative and unique composers I have ever come across. Thanks for all the music.
Thank you for sharing this history. It is an incredible work, I think the same thing would have happened to me as it did to you. I am also a composer and today, writing a piece, I took a break to listen to Black Angels (in this RUclips video) and while I was listening I asked myself, What was George Crumb's personality like? What would he have been like in person? Then I came across your comment, thanks for that.
I bump this shit at full volume at the bar when they're trying to close and want everyone to leave. Love it.
Just because I think some of you will get a kick out of this: I had really bad untreated anxiety while I was getting my bachelors. I remember listening to this during music history and crying in class because it was so unsettling and I was so sleep deprived (coming up on the end of the semester, juries, finals, etc.) Not one of my finer moments.
ugh, yeah, this piece isn't the top of my list of recommendations for people dealing with high anxiety. I hope you are doing better now!
I'm writing a paper in a music history class right now on comparing this piece to string quartets through the different eras of music. Which means I get to compare this piece to Haydn's joke quartet..... should be a fun time lol.
I've never been terrified by classical music 0-0
This is extremely relatable. Just listened to it in class the other day!
Haley, sorry you had that experience with this piece. I first heard this as a teen, and have always found great comfort whenever I listen to it- even to this day...
Rest in peace George Crumb, one of the most imaginative and influential composers of our time.
Can I just get something out of my chest?
The first movement is not music. Is the sound of hell itself. The strings perfectly encapsulate the blood-curdling shrieks and giggles of a group of demons.
And I love it.
It was in the film The Exorcist too
Calling this a masterpiece is an understatement. This is so expertly crafted and composed, and the score is something to behold in it of itself.
Art!, that's what this is
There’s something strangely soothing about this
For me, a sense of "ah, finally the awaited catastrophe is *here*, and I can relax". 😂
I'm glad that we were finally able to get the score situation arranged for you! Thanks for presenting this so beautifully.
Thank you so much for your help :D
my mind just got blown, what a masterpiece
Haron Ludetsky no it’s not it hurts my ears
@@qwn7n217 That's the point. I'd say this piece did what it intended to do perfectly.
@@davidbrussard-composer7372 yep... this is a shit, this isn't music
It is a masterpiece all of these pieces has an air of loneliness and something more sinister lurking in the atmosphere that gives way to something of a chase of sorts
This is the soundtrack I make love to.
Hol up
This makes even the most vanilla sex bdsm
Necrophilia?
May this amazing composer rest in glorious peace.
rip
*Listens before bed*
Welp, I won't be sleeping tonight.
I must be twisted because I'm going to listen to this while I sleep. haha
Lmfao its so scary thooo
it is my test to memorize to guess the composer and the name of the song...tomorrow...so im listening to crum amd cage"s songs at the middle of a crazy midnight....god help me...
@@user-hn2lz6yr2k oh.
that's bad
Jeff different not twisted
I’m so sorry to hear of this amazing artists passing. As a young composer, just discovering the New World that music held for me, George Crumbs ’s music was a constant inspiration. I spent hours pouring over his circular scores, trying to suss out the meaning behind Gloria’s sounds coming from the old records that I was listening to. The Kronos Quartet‘s version of this piece is breathtaking. I had the privilege to see them perform it once, and it was a highlight of my musical education.
Rest in peace, Maestro.
meow
@@joon3900 (silent meow) sffz----ppp
I vividly remember discovering this aged 14/15, it opened the contemporary classical floodgates for me. There are not enough superlatives to describe how amazing it is!
Undoubtedly one of the greatest works of art music post 1960s. Alongside Georg Friedrich Haas in emotional depth.
Talk about thinking outside the box! Crumb was thinking outside the universe! Marvelous!
I had the great pleasure of performing this in grad school with an excellent quartet. Playing and rehearsing this piece is just as transformative as listening, if not more... the construction of the score is absolutely astonishing. Thank you for sharing, and what a great performance here!!
Congratulations for your achievement!
Where is the LOVE button?!?
This is actually really good - hauntingly mesmerizing. I can’t believe I haven’t heard it until now, but it makes my skin crawl in the best way. 🖤
Idk why,but I find everything from Lost Bells to Ancient Voices oddly calming. I also love the parts where they whisper.
it just grabs your whole nervous system, wow
Incorporating the Schubert theme is utter genius!
And the Dies Irae
Terrifying
It kind of slaps you in the face, doesn't it?
As if all notes are played simultaneously,,amazing.
I WOULD PAY A HUNDRED DOLLARS JUST TO WATCH THIS LIVE
Spots for myself
5:12 danse macabre, pavana lachrymae
10:12 sarabanda de la muerte oscura
12:35 God-music, ancient voices
18:35 sarabanda de la muerte oscura
My lullaby
I think the "God-music" section is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Rest in peace, George.
At 5:33 and 5:43, did anyone hear "Dies Irae?"
You're right!
I literally just came from a video talking about dies irae, found this video, and randomly skipped to 5:33
like damn, dies irae, stop stalking me
Pretty sure it was intentional considering "Dies Irae" was literally written in the score in previous movements (Devil Music and Danse Macabre).
Dies Irae is references everywhere throughout classical music. It's a meme (in the original meaning of the word).
Holy shit yes
This is such a masterpiece. Thank you so much for posting tbis score!
One of my very favorite pieces of music, I’m glad this channel has such a cool and open community :)
ooh iv waited for this moment
Un momento que me recordo mucho a Alberto Ginastera.
Classic among the classic.
RIP George Crumb, a true legend
Of all the avant-gardists of the 20th century, George Crumb never ceases to hold my attention.
このチャネルで これだけ多く視聴される作品は珍しい。
It's rare to see the work which is listened to so many times on this channel.
I'm always amazed at how visceral and vivid Crumb's music is.
Holy shit I listened to this years ago for like 2 seconds several years ago for the meme but I’m listening to it for real now and hot damn it’s so good
I actually remember ten-year-old-me flipping through a CD collection called "Listen," skipping to the Night of Electric Insects because I though the title sounded cool, and INSTANTLY clicked away... Haven't heard it again until yesterday, and it still somehow managed to give me a huge nostalgia rush.
R. I. P. George Crumb 😔
such a beautifully expressive, richly textural piece! RIP George!
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for this resource.
To me, it feels very sacre-du-printempish, which is awesome
Wonderful rendition!
THIS IS A LONG TIME COMING!
Sounds like something from the shining
Heeeeeeeere's Jonny
The Delbert Grady 'RedRum' partita.
You can definitely tell this piece had inspiration from Krzysztof Penderecki (whose scary avant-garde music was used in the soundtrack for The Shining)
@@p.terodactyl6848 I think that Crumb's style is actually very distinct, and in fact he was born before Penderecki. The style used in this piece is present throughout his entire diverse oeuvre of works
I believe it was used in The Exorcist.
absolutely beautiful
An absolutely brilliant piece!
thank you for this imaginative score ....
and this is why the teacher stopped asking me for music recommendations in class
…and such humour intertwined through everything else. RIP Maestro
Love it!
Thank you for sharing this and the sheet !!!
You’re welcome!
5:33 rite of spring
Devil Music Liszt Totentanz :)
@@andreslka Actually "Dies Irae" (quoted by many).
omg it is lol
I LOVE THIS
I love the part when the percussion comes in.
This reminds me of the movie Split which had an incredible soundtrack by West Dylan Thordson.
My favorite parts are Pavana Lachrymae (6:11) and the first bit of Sarabanda de la Muerte Oscura (10:15). While the Amusical component of the composition is fascinating, I enjoy these moments of Music mixed within.
We love to hate this piece. That's what's meant to happen. We don't like exploring the "evil" music can accomplish, as seen with the viewcount. Like bad experiences make you appreciate good ones more, so does terrifying music make you appreciate pleasant music. It asks us, "what will you do when things are bad? when you feel terrible? when there's war? what do you make?" It's a necessary evil, to not just make melancholoy or mourning, but to evoke true terror and horror and confront it. Even though some may have control of their emotions, it doesn't affect what's really happening around you. Its reality. How long can you hold out denying it?
This dude definitely listened to a lot of Benjamin Britten, holy crap all of the similarities and references
I was listening some Kayo Dot and got here. This is incredible.
Indeeed a masterwork - and a great one - which took me a lot of timr to ackowledge as such. Crumb is perghaps not in the straight line of modernity in muic ('but who knows? Our garndchildren will decide). Let us say that he is a splendid evergreening tree in the alleys.
When you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you're sad, you understand the lyrics.
This doesn’t have any lyrics…
I get the joke or is it really a joke?
Rest in peace George Crumb
That sounds like the last thing I want to hear, and it looks like the first thing I want to see
¡¡¡Qué obra extraordinaria!!!
Incredible ❤
Rest in Piece George Crumb. you will be missed.
I LOOOOOVE THIS
Finally!
George Crumb mentored one of my Professors at GWU, and he talked about what a genius this man was in one of our classes.
What a genius "Is*", he is still alive.
@@JawherMatmati :(
RIP, you will be missed
Wow. Just wow.
bruh. I was listening to voice of the whale and auto-play was on. JESUS CHRIST this frightened me. volume sky high. jeepers.
8:26 - 8:59 is just amazing
LOVE.
I used to think metal was the most intense music. Then i heard this, Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz, and Peter Brötzmann, and learned how completely wrong i was.
R.I.P.
.mesmerizing.
This piece was for my final written music exam in high school and I still have nightmares to this day...
It was premiered on my BD! haha! I'm a composer too
George Crumb mixed German and Japanese before Yousei Teikoku, I didn't expect that
absolutely based Crumb
death and maiden at 6:13
YES!!! I love that piece, and was happy to find it here.
Fantastic!!!! Is it chain structure? Although the ideas of the previous sections don't always carry on to the the beginning of the next. But such an amazing composition. The baroque sound of Pavana Lachrymae after the atonality is on of the most surprising changes. 😊
I've never hated adds more than I do right now.
brave.com/sco209 :)
Rest in peace
had no idea 6:13 was schubert till I heard death and the maiden again and went "isnt that black angels?"
I like the fact, that just "ТРИ-НАД-ЦАТЬ" in the middle of the song
Id imagine this Is what a Vietnam flashback sounds like
Much of this piece was heavily inspired by the war, and the other unrest going on through the 60's and early 70's. You can practically hear the helicopters in the threnodies.
That is spot on! Crumb wrote this piece as a protest to the Vietnam War
Someone finally mentioned Vietnam. The evocation of horror is not random or pointless.
