With this milestone on 11 December 2017 - 500.000 hits on RUclips - I want to thank all my fans for their support, together with the many, many choirs and conductors that performed this piece throughout the years, so that it could be spread across the world..
Beste Joep, Hartelijk dank voor deze geweldige vibraties! Ik vind ze werkelijk subliem en hoop nog meer van dezeparels te vinden. Zal zeker meer van uw werk gaan zoeken.
Joep, I don't know if you'll see this/respond, but its worth a shot. Does the composition of this piece directly use in some way Kepler's theory on harmony? Or any other sort of theories based in harmony of the planets? I am very interested in this idea right now and am always excited to hear amazing pieces that reference planetary harmony in their title.
Everyone should listen to this at least twice in their life time, then try doing it whilst sat out on a hill-top away from the city chaos on a Summer's starry night - Bliss.
This music comes from another dimension, where colour and sound blend together into a new concept. It's love in a pure form...Only divine artists can make this and only divine listeners can receive this. Wow! Thanks Joep....
+jolanda setz -- Buddhists believe in the eventual enlightenment of all humanity. (I admire that because it is the basis for compassion.) When I saw your comment it made me see this music as a cleansing rain that washes away the crusty layers that people build up in a daily exposure to a seemingly hopeless world, a major source of spiritual pollution.
+Noe Berengena Thank you for this beautiful comment. Yes, I understand : this music is pure love and beauty from a pure soul and therefore it will wash away layers that are between our mind and spiritual being. When we open up to receive it... A nice thought on this special Sunday morning.....
What a tonal beauty. Joep je bent nu 60/61, de wereld (en daar behoor ik gelukkig ook toe) wil nog veel meer van je horen. Wat een rust straalt je luisterlijke muziek uit.
This is how the world changes: one way meets another way, and they discharge their weapons, they exchange their words and their markets, they contest and, in doing so, they petition each other for the right to go on existing rather than being nothing. This is the universe figuring out what it should be in the end. And it is majestic. Majestic. It is the only thing that can be true in and of itself. And it is what I am.
All of this tremendous work of divine art is amazing, and specially Movement III b-- It´s like entering some kind of Heaven where all heroes go when they die.
I’m deeply moved.... moved nearly to tears, by these ethereal otherworldly sounds I’ve stumbled upon. If angels exist, I’m sure this is the sound that follows them.
Master CHANNELER!! where the angels come together, beauty harmony and peace snares in space...inside...outside, the master painters of the youniverse yourself ..
About a month ago I was woken up by a beautiful sound, that sounded far away. I first thought (its angels singing) but it was just like this but I do remember hearing harps. I had to look it up come to find out Music of The Spheres. I am so grateful that God gave me the chance to listen to the natural beauty at least once in my lifetime. And thank you for making this to remind me of how beautiful God is.
Never heard of J. Franssens before but I could listen 24/7... or until I started to turn green. Wonderful work. Thank you (all) for sharing. Blessings. CVD
I'll always remember this day: a cold March night in NYC, in my dorm room near the Washington Square Park, at around 5 am, I discover this sublime and beautiful composition while procrastinating on RUclips instead of writing my essay!
Divine in symbology means two vines entwined. But we feels it refers for a heavy supreme force. But it's really the greatness of an artist that make you feel so move of divinest. So humans can be divine, but in seems only fews achieve there divinest or quite conquest more than others.
The Divine are the Father and the Son. The strength in that two walk together in the agreement of growth and in uprightness. As two vines in intertwined as ONE. For as On ONE accord. = Divine.
Üdvözlöm tisztelettel,Joep Franssens.Most hallgattam meg az Ön zenéjét a Belgrádi rádióban.Nagyon megihletett.Azt hiszem,Ön megsejtett valamit a világ nagy titkaiból.Köszönöm,hogy ezt közvetítette azok részére,akiknek van hallásuk befogadni a világ titkait.
Thank you for this, this is breathtakingly beautiful. At Movement II I burst out of tears, but happy tears. Life is beautiful. Thank you for your magical work of art.
What a wonderful, magnificent surprise!!! Never heard before music of Master Franssens. This Harmony of The Spheres is actually more than euphonic. Extraordinary! Thanks a lot for this discovery.
You really should not listen to this passively. What a marvelous piece of art this is. Even though I regularly dislike the strict orderliness of the western Europe, I am always amazed by their art. Thank you for posting this.
De muziek van Joep Franssens is helaas weinig bekend bij de doorsnee Nederlandse muziekliefhebber. Maar Joep speelt als componist al decennia een ongelooflijk belangrijke rol in de Nederlandse muziekliteratuur. Ook hier toont het Nederlands Kamerkoor dat Franssens er méér dan toe doet! Zijn composities - zoals ook deze - zijn van een weergaloze schoonheid. Dank je wel Joep en NKK!
For all people that enjoy this music; you can watch a portrait by Joep Franssens rehearsing his latest Piano Concerto on our youtube channel Deuss Music Contemporary Composers.
If the music of the spheres actually exists, it is highly likely that it sounds like this… There is another fascinating musical evocation of the music of the spheres by the Danish composer Rued Langgaard. Pythagoras and Plato, among many others, would be amazed if they listened to those compositions.
Franssens music makes you see what you hear..... 'Harmony of the Spheres' was my favourite at night during my trans atlantic crossing by sailboat in December 2015. Are you interested in much more of Franssens magic music? Please listen to the tracks of his latest cd ' Piano Works' which you can find on his website. A really beautiful recording, exellent played by Ralph van Raat. In Holland this CD has a favourable review.
Ik zocht wat muzikale begeleiding bij het schrijven van een blog. Muziek als die van Pärt doet het dan altijd goed. Via Pärt kwam ik bij Steve Reich, en via Reich kwam ik bij Harmony of the Spheres van Joep Franssens. Ik wist niet dat we zo'n geweldig componist in Nederland hadden rondlopen zeg. Wat een meesterwerk is dit.....Last but not least lees ik dat hij een van mijn favoriete bands als inspiratiebron heeft: Yes. De wereld is weer een stukje mooier geworden. Dank aan Joep!
Fransenns music is also a music of the elements one can see and feel live action in nature stones by a river in a forest of Maples with the cool wind gusting
This is music of the spheres so you should be imagining heavenly things, both literally and metaphorically speaking. The planets majestically moving in their orbits or angels floating through heaven...
I don't know how to return to the world after listening to something so tranquil. seriously afraid to leave my house right now. worried the first loud unexpected sound I hear will give me a heart attack.
Actually, Nick, you will be strengthened by the music. It provides a restorative tonic that bolsters inner tranquility. Like deep sleep that restores us physically and mentally.
While wandering into new sounds, new ideas, new instruments, new styles, I will never forget my youth singing in boys choir (Petits Chanteurs de Trois-Rivières), Easter's masses, concerts, where it all began for me, the passion for music. That music from Franssens is a shelter of peace. Thank you so much for posting.
I am stunned by the simple and ecstatic beauty of this music... Until today I had been unaware of this important minimalist composer (as well as the music of Jon Hassel... What a day!)... I put this piece next to 'Te Deum' and 'De Profundis'' by Arvo Part in my favorite choral music pile. I am excited to think of all of Franssens' work I've yet to be astounded by.
just like Adam's common tones in simple time. absolutely mesmerizing, layers and layers of voices interweaving with each other, glistening with charm and beauty
Zaman ve Mekandan bağımsız, şiddet ve nefretin olmadığı, İnsan Ruhunun huzur bulduğu kutsal olan Müzik...Bu beste bize ,en muhteşem duyguları verirken,Müziğin barışı ve evrensel değerlerin tümünü taşıyan en önemli araç olduğunu gösteriyor...çok ama çok teşekkürler bu şahane Müzik için ❤
Is music i can return to...I think its great composition and very inspired.I hope Greek mathematician Pythagoras helped ...Thank you Mr Franssens!Greatings from Greece
Quaintly alienation to where we guess to cross after passing away ,which isn't so mystically to those like me ,who doesn't get afraid to reach to the beauty of that unknown passage from where no! one! returns,so! Why be terribleness to such colourful magnificence and mighty obscurity ,as well brightly lit with billions of stars,on whom we would be maybe one of them.YOU really tick the essence of that creator with your deep sencitive of music composItion on this HARMONY OF THE SPHERES. Please keep gladden to all of your fans," for ever and ever." Thanks!
The fourth movement is my favorite of all the five unaccompanied movements, it’s as if I were being transported into a cosmic vapor of invention and nostalgia
I first heard this when I was negative (- to be exact) 10 years old and I was at a public concert but the show was free so I enjoyed every bit of it. And so that's how I like this song.
i think i'm hearing this for the 100th time. I've been trying to get chatgpt and other AI to provide me something with similar to this music, but nothing so far has been comparable.
With this milestone on 11 December 2017 - 500.000 hits on RUclips - I want to thank all my fans for their support, together with the many, many choirs and conductors that performed this piece throughout the years, so that it could be spread across the world..
Beste Joep, Hartelijk dank voor deze geweldige vibraties! Ik vind ze werkelijk subliem en hoop nog meer van dezeparels te vinden. Zal zeker meer van uw werk gaan zoeken.
Aurora van Hans Zimmer en deze compositie zijn mijn grootste vondsten van de afgelopen jaren.
Thank you Joep Fansenns for letting us have a glimpse of the music of heaven. Thank you God for bringing Joel into the world. God bless you Joel.
Joep, I don't know if you'll see this/respond, but its worth a shot. Does the composition of this piece directly use in some way Kepler's theory on harmony? Or any other sort of theories based in harmony of the planets? I am very interested in this idea right now and am always excited to hear amazing pieces that reference planetary harmony in their title.
Thank You, mister Franssens!
We had enough of hell already, it is a grace that such masterpiece exists
THIS IS IT!! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SINCE 2014!! THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CHOIR PIECES I EVER DID IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! :D
Close your eyes ... rest the soul ... digest the harmonies ... "Praise the Lord"
This music just appeared by chance on autoplay, and I LOVE this. I never heard of the guy. now I do. Thanks autoplay!
+Reginald Friday yeah this rockz! )
My exact same experience!
Me too! What a great find!
Reminds me of Lauridsen, which is a good thing!
I wanted to write the same phrase. These mega-data platforms can sometimes predict good recommends.
Everyone should listen to this at least twice in their life time, then try doing it whilst sat out on a hill-top away from the city chaos on a Summer's starry night - Bliss.
maybe you should only
You have a poet's heart. Live long and prosper.
And then realise they wish no suffering for any being intentionaly. and live a long healthy life on a plant based diet.
Time and space suspended in an inner silence. Sublime.
I am speechless. Harmony of the Spheres - written for heartstrings apparantly. Beyond beautiful.
The conclusion of the fourth movement truly describes such sublime peace and beauty that it brought me to tears. It really is a glorious harmony.
This music comes from another dimension, where colour and sound blend together into a new concept. It's love in a pure form...Only divine artists can make this and only divine listeners can receive this. Wow! Thanks Joep....

wow! I am divine listener! I am so great!!
De mooiste nieuwe Nederlandse muziek! terecht op de hart en ziel lijst.
Joep, I am so happy to read all these delighted fans of yours. I wish they heard your laughter, so full of joy too.
You give us so much joy!
When you hear this music, you know you must spend some of your living in the quiet place. Lest thou be lost.
What a tonal beauty. Joep je bent nu 60/61, de wereld (en daar behoor ik gelukkig ook toe) wil nog veel meer van je horen. Wat een rust straalt je luisterlijke muziek uit.

If?
@@dscott1699 yeah, it seems pretty unlikely
@@DrWhom
We will see
Religious nutheads and minimalist music, name a more iconic pair.
They exist.
The ending of movement 3 is absolutely perfect.
Perfect for cold winter days.
The whole piece is gorgeous, internal in a spiritual, searching way. At 18:40 there is a movement that is especially otherworldly, way beyond words.
You just said it. Otherworldly. Chillingly sublime.
Love 13:25 onwards. So simple. Sounds like it's been waiting out there in the universe since forever for someone to hear it and write it down.
Incredible. 23th century music on RUclips...
Fernando Gómez lol
Superb work. I wish Palestrina could hear this. Maybe, somehow, he is.
I just talked to him. He thinks it is grand.
I agree. Palestrina would love it. But if he's in Heaven; imagine how busy he is! He wouldn't have time!
Master CHANNELER!! where the angels come together, beauty harmony and peace snares in space...inside...outside, the master painters of the youniverse yourself ..
Whoever those people clicking dislike, showing thumbs down: How many wonderful creative contributions have you provided to humanity?
Gewoon mooi, alhoewel dat niet gewoon is voor een moderne componist. Joep Franssens is dan ook een bijzondere moderne componist, hulde.
About a month ago I was woken up by a beautiful sound, that sounded far away. I first thought (its angels singing) but it was just like this but I do remember hearing harps.

Celestial, belleza. ¡Muchas gracias por mostrarlo al mundo!
Amazing piece of music that inspires hope in the midst of chaos and noise.
Ethereal spiritual music to soothe the soul, Dutch composers are brilliant
This took 3 seconds to move me from the very base of my soul, and didn't stop until the end. Amazing.
Sounds very Renaissance, it doesn't take away from the remarkable, sublime beauty of this cycle. First time hearing and I like it a lot.
I'll always remember this day: a cold March night in NYC, in my dorm room near the Washington Square Park, at around 5 am, I discover this sublime and beautiful composition while procrastinating on RUclips instead of writing my essay!
@Divergent Integral Hahhahaha, exactly :D
Ver lovely serene elements of medieval choral music one is transported to vast Cathedral spaces
It's a pleasure to know the good composer!
Beautiful never heard anything quite like it.
I love how this work has primarily slow, somber movements providing contrast to the lighter, happier movements in numbers
III and IV
An elation most unexpected. Love
What is this? it's... wonderful.. the beauty is limitless in this world.
I am very fan ! this sound help me when I work
The beginning of movement 3 b is divine!
add some ketamine to the mix and ur basically drifting on clouds towards the pearly gate of nirvana.
ahahahaha cool
I feel in heaven
Divine in symbology means two vines entwined. But we feels it refers for a heavy supreme force. But it's really the greatness of an artist that make you feel so move of divinest. So humans can be divine, but in seems only fews achieve there divinest or quite conquest more than others.

Joep, dit is een juweel van een compositie. Het roept zoveel beelden op !
I read the trilogy of 1Q84 with this music in my ears. Its a magical match

youtube autoplayed me this after Steve Reich's fantastic live in Japan 2008 "Music for 18 Musicians"
I entered a spiritual dimension as soon as I heard the first note and I had no idea what this was about....

Semplicemente Stupenda. Complimenti al maestro compositore e agli esecutori tutti.
What a gift you have sent us Joep Franssens, and only a few hundred kilometres away :) Cheering me up no end, on this dark wet October morn!!
Wat prachtig: harmony of the spheres./ truly beautiful, Thank you.
Damn, I love this - it's on endless loop at our place.
Astounding ........ magnificent arrangement

The fourth movement conveys a specially deep feeling… The whole work is very appealing. Thank you for sharing it.
I don't know how to return to the world after listening to something so tranquil.

did you leave ?
Actually, Nick, you will be strengthened by the music. It provides a restorative tonic that bolsters inner tranquility. Like deep sleep that restores us physically and mentally.
It is Sunday and I am feeling inspired and uplifted by this mystical music. It is a wonderful gift to be able to compose this -- Thank you!

Wonderful Harmony of the Spheres by Joep Franssens...
The fourth movement is my favorite of all the five unaccompanied movements, it’s as if I were being transported into a cosmic vapor of invention and nostalgia
excellent / most relaxing, good music to sit and work to...
I first heard this when I was negative (- to be exact) 10 years old and I was at a public concert but the show was free so I enjoyed every bit of it. And so that's how I like this song.
Wow! Autoplay just started this track and I simply couldn't stop hearing....
What a deep and beautiful harmony!!!!
WOW!!!! BEAUTIFUL
i think i'm hearing this for the 100th time.
I've been trying to get chatgpt and other AI to provide me something with similar to this music, but nothing so far has been comparable.
(With apologies to Greame Edge)
"I think. I think I am. Therefore I am. I think."
I think that we think completely different. I don´t think so. ;)
Exuberantly controlled. Bedankt!
This music is very relaxing and helped me have a great nap
hahaha
that must have been terrifying lmao
