I love this work, the first time I had the privilege to hear it, I was coming out from a bookstore in Bogota- Colombia, I remember I was in my way to a meeting, but it was so different so magical, that I decided to listen to the entire work...I was late to the meeting, but, I found Ligeti's wonderful work.
He had returned to us, but he was different. His face had been altered ever so slightly. None of us could quite pinpoint what it was. Perhaps it was his mannerisms, or his smile, or the way his eyes....oh my god. His eyes. I was too frightened but I had to look closer. There was no mistaking it. His eyes were a different color. He must have noticed my fearful expression because he too recoiled in confusion. "What's wrong?" He asked innocently. The crew's murmurs of success had died away, and all were looking at me. I looked the being straight in its wrong, inhuman eyes and exclaimed, "Who are you?" For what happened next, I blame myself, for daring to utter those words so boldly
If you really want to mess with someone, get a loud speaker, and a fog machine. Pick your victim, fill their yard completely with fog, put this song on, and slowly turn the speaker to full volume
This piece, and Lux Aeterna, prove that the human voice remains the most beautiful, versatile, and moving of all musical instruments. Meditation music.
Somebody told me this wasn't in the actual Godzilla movie prior to its release. The second I heard the choir start up again in the HALO jump scene I nearly jumped out of my seat and applauded.
Kevin Sandoval There are actually four of them, and two movies (based on the first and second book each). I recommend you to read them if you find them!
If an intellectual is someone who can listen to Rossini's William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger, what is someone who can listen to this without thinking of monoliths.
Si Debussy, Malher o Stravinsky no hubieran arriesgado e inventado nuevas fórmulas musicales, seguiríamos escuchando lo mismo de hace 200 años. ¡Magnífico!
You may or may not like this music (I personally don't), but I am an experienced chorister, and this choir (and soloists) are absolutely outstanding. Very few choirs and solists (even professional ones) can pull this off!
"Gentlemen, you are being sent in via HALO jump. Now I realize not all of you have had hands-on experience...but frankly, none of us have ever faced a situation quite like this one before. But I would not be asking any one of you to take this leap if I did not have complete faith in your ability to succeed. Your courage will never be more needed than it is today."
Wow! I never heard this whole piece before. If it is in 2001 Space odyssey I heard a bit of it and now know why it was a perfect fit for what was happening in the movie. Pure genius. I like it.
DON'T listen to it at night shortly before going to sleep, unless you can really cope with that. You won't have a chance of falling asleep, and if you will, you're going to have such a nightmare you'll regret you ever fell asleep tonight.
***** Good question.. Nothing but that which is already present in myself. I don't believe that music can create visions, it can only trigger individual responses. A lot of those are nothing but the repetition of visual trash accumulated during your life. If you manage to lay that up, by not trying to relate the music you are listening to to anything you already know true visions may come.
I don't understand. It's so eerily relaxing. I can lay in my room. In the darkness. Calm and energetic. The rush that gives off from this song is so chillingly cold. It runs up my spine and through my hair. "Tap. Tap." Breathing becomes heavier, pulling me into my bed deeper as if someone were to stand above me. The blunt smell of my cigarette I had before becomes a fog of haziness. So it continues
I don't like atonal music that much, but this is when it actually works. Because this doesn't just sound like distortion, random notes or pointless noise (or at least the beginning doesn't). It's a coordinated choir, coordinated microtonality or something, and... fuuuck oh god this is trippy and scary as hell. when it starts crescendoing at 8:30-ish it's like lovecraftian-level terror. EDIT: And then 12:25 simultaneously scared the shit out of me and made me start laughing. Wonderful.
David Foster Wallace used this word in his book Infinite Jest to describe a feeling of affliction. I was sublimely afflicted by this piece, i.e. grasped dimensions of insanity.
newvultraz There is actually quite a lot of atonal music that sounds really good and although it may not have memorable melody, it does have memorable "effects" or timbre. Berg imo is by far the best of the second Viennese school, his Violin Concerto is genuinely beautiful, and some of his more "free atonality" stuff over serialism like his String Quartet Op. 4 (or some low number like that) is also very beautiful, you can hear the romantic phrasing even amongst the atonal voices. His Piano Sonata Op. 1 (not atonal but getting close) is amazing.
this is strangely calming. it's like a negative space. for all my life I have heard harmony in almost all music. Even the most impressionistic music has chords that return to harmonizing and rhythm. I never realized how tired I was of that until I heard music with the utter lack of harmony and rhythm like this work. This is like the Yin to the Yang of the rest of music.
This is still the most powerful piece I have ever heard. Like it is diving thru all of the depths over the entirety of the universe itself. The Atonalities reinforce the alien qualities of our creators and progenitors.
I would not wish to be the poor bastards singing this with so many passages without instrumental references. Hell, even WITH reference, pieces like this demand the highest personal focus to maintain pitch just in terms of the tonal tapestry itself. Add to that the various crescendos/decrescendos, legatos, staccatos and Mithras knows what else, and the skill required to perform this blows my mind. On an unrelated note, if creative high schools forced the little wieners in detention to listen to this at full volume throughout the entire 1hr/3hr/whathaveyou span (with repeat on; ffs, how would they know?), I think it might finally work as the deterrent it fails to be.
I watched A Space Oddessy several months ago and it was quite incredible, hadn't seen anything like it! Creative and original like nothing else. Has any movie since really taken the next step in film making? Perhaps not!
The movies amazing until you get to the part with this song, the music amazing, but the situation of the astronaut randomly in some perfect looking room makes no sense whatsoever.
@@MasterChiefSha I think it makes more sense if you read the book. The Monolith is supposed to be this incomprehensible thing that completely messed with his mind. He was enlightened to the secrets of the universe and was unable to comprehend it.
Salty Shunk Yes. The book is incredible, written in tandem with his script. Clark brings a schoolboy enthusiasm to nature, space and space exploration, and science fiction. I love the film, but they are two completely different beasts.
what other music reflects the thousands of years of atrocities we have committed against one another... and continue to do so in this young century? it is a requiem for the species.

It bears an uncanny resemblance to "Requiem" which meant the piece was clearly inspired by Ligeti.

Of course this intense spacey music stands alone but I can't not think of 2001 Odyssey in Space (1968) when I hear this. Those beautiful, perfect, black alien obelisks amid the lunar desolation while the music seemed to bring swarms of alien spirit creatures almost to the point of a breakthrough.
This piece just grips you very forcefully like it is plumbing the depths of universe itself. The atonalities are beautiful and yet utterly alien at the same time. As infinity can't reach the end.
I see this music for many things. For Godzilla, this music fits perfect.Godzilla was created by man's thirst for nuclear power.Created by us, humans, and our never ending hunger and thirst for nuclear power, nuclear weapons, the list goes on.Godzilla is a symbol of us humans.He causes destruction to cities, just like us humans in modern war, bombing runs, naval shelling of coastal towns, etc.When he fights his adversaries, he attacks with brute force, mercy is rare when he fights, just like us humans, but we have the emotions to spare.He represents both Mother Nature, as a vengeful beast wishing to take back a industrial people, and man, trying to overcome himself with violence,destruction, and sorrow.He truly represents us humans.What songs would come to your mind if he attacked? For me, this. As for a 2001, it also fits for the wormhole. Being sucked into a place for what seems like days, weeks, months & even years.Going faster, and faster, and faster.Continuing in until the universe ends itself. As it seems to go on a loop created by the devil himself. As the Erie choir sings on.Never ending, no end in sight, continuing on forever, as if the word "End." Never existed.Seeing the evolution of man, in its brightest, and darkest days. It fits for the wormhole, perfectly. But, in my opinion. These songs represent everything.Everything bad. Everything good.War, death, disease, famine, sacrifice, occult, fear, sadness, anger. Happiness, love, luck, peace, evolution, religion, development, family, shelter, food, water. They all come together as one. Just like us, humans. (That took long to write, also I really am a big fan of the Godzilla series, I don't mind if you dislike it, and I really want to watch 2001 at some point in the future,Ok you can leave now ._. Also really quick, someone should make a counter on how many times I wrote "Human." Lol.)
The soundtrack of millions of damned souls being driven into the icy depths of Hell at the crest of the coming Judgement Day. If there is a God, he is apathetic.
I have the full score it is about 3 feet long....and is an incredibly dense piece to analyse! I am currently studying this piece....and I anticipate listening to it 50-70 times...before I can get a handle on it...I recently performed Brittens War Requiem...That is Kindergarten compared to this...This must be diabolical....and yes I purposely used that word...to perform! I have "just" the vocal score too, and it is like 2 feet by 2 feet squared...it and of itself is a large score!
I saw this live in London in 1989. Ligeti was on the aisle opposite me signing "2001" emblemed programs for kids. And look! There was Oliver Knussen leaning rrrright over the orchestra from the balcony, dangling some plastic bags which probably contained his groceries...
Ligeti sait bien retranscrire ce qu'il entend par "inhumanité". La seule humanité connue est la nôtre, mais tant et tant de mystères et de frayeurs nous attendent, des formes de vie à coup sûr totalement différentes de nous
I think this is perhaps, along with 'The Rite Of Spring' and perhaps some of the Symphonies of Mahler, the GREATEST piece of music of the 20th century!!! I love Birtwistle's album 'Night's Blackbird' with 'Night's Blackbird', 'The Shadow Of Night' and 'The Cry Of Anubis' on it. Composers like Birtwistle, Alexander Goehr, and Peter Maxwell Davies have saved 20th century music!!! Cheers - Mike
Luiz Duczmal I've just listened to 'Nomos', Luiz. A magnificent piece!!! Birtwistle's music has so much more depth to it than the pop stuff!!! Although I do like Duran Duran, particularly as they remind me of about 20 minutes one afternoon spent in the NEC in Birmingham, and the lovely dull, empty, cool, building!!! Particularly as they were soon to play there. A happy memory!!! I basically love orchestral music though!!! Cheers - Mike
Daniel Hodge Thanks Dan!!! Your a 'Gentleman'!!! I think perhaps 'The Planets' ( 1914 - 1916 ) although played a hell of a lot, is a stand out suite of GREAT music!!! Although Holst ( 1874 - 1934 ) wasn't all that thrilled with 'The Planets' ( 1914 - 1916 ), he rated 'Saturn ( The Bringer Of Old Age )' as by far the most original piece, which I agree with, although I like 'Venus ( The Bringer Of Peace )' best!!! On 'Classic FM', which I quickly got to hate, it's like, what's the ideal piece of music to play just under 8 minutes, oh yea' 'Jupiter ( The Bringer Of Jollity' )', needless to say, wonderful music as it is, they played it as much as possible, as it is so popular!!! I've never heard them play Birtwistle's ( b.1934 ) fantastic music all the time I listened to the show. Even very famous operas like Mozart's ( 1756 - 1791 ) 'Marriage Of Figaro' ( 1786 ), it tended to be the overture that they played!!! That programme has become me and my father's pet hate!!! I have entered some lesser regarded masterpieces for their 'Hall Of Fame' though. One was this, Ligeti's ( 1923 - 2006 ) 'Requiem' ( 1965 ). One was Auber's ( 1782 - 1871 ) 'Crown Diamonds Overture' ( 1841 ) and the other was Cesar Cui's ( 1835 - 1918 ) 'Kaleidoscope'.

This piece just grips you very forcefully like it is plumbing the depths of universe itself. The atonalities are beautiful and yet utterly alien at the same time. As infinity can't reach the end.
Masterpiece !
Thanks a lot
I love this piece.
This is not a fucking Godzilla music ! Respect for magister Ligeti.
Your right. It's not from Godzilla. It's from 2001.
Beyond The Infinite 3061
IT'S FROM LIGETI - IT'S HIS PIECE AND HIS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see this music for many things.
For Godzilla, this music fits perfect.Godzilla was created by man's thirst for nuclear power.Created by us, humans, and our never ending hunger and thirst for nuclear power, nuclear weapons, the list goes on.Godzilla is a symbol of us humans.He causes destruction to cities, just like us humans in modern war, bombing runs, naval shelling of coastal towns, etc.When he fights his adversaries, he attacks with brute force, mercy is rare when he fights, just like us humans, but we have the emotions to spare.He represents both Mother Nature, as a vengeful beast wishing to take back a industrial people, and man, trying to overcome himself with violence,destruction, and sorrow.He truly represents us humans.What songs would come to your mind if he attacked? For me, this.
As for a 2001, it also fits for the wormhole.
Being sucked into a place for what seems like days, weeks, months & even years.Going faster, and faster, and faster.Continuing in until the universe ends itself. As it seems to go on a loop created by the devil himself. As the Erie choir sings on.Never ending, no end in sight, continuing on forever, as if the word "End." Never existed.Seeing the evolution of man, in its brightest, and darkest days. It fits for the wormhole, perfectly.
But, in my opinion. These songs represent everything.Everything bad. Everything good.War, death, disease, famine, sacrifice, occult, fear, sadness, anger. Happiness, love, luck, peace, evolution, religion, development, family, shelter, food, water.
They all come together as one.
Just like us, humans.
(That took long to write, also I really am a big fan of the Godzilla series, I don't mind if you dislike it, and I really want to watch 2001 at some point in the future,Ok you can leave now ._. Also really quick, someone should make a counter on how many times I wrote "Human." Lol.)
Boy, I'll bet the director for GODZILLA 2014 fought tooth and nail with the studio suits to get this incredible music into the film.
I believe this might be:
Chorus - Chor Des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Conductor [Chorus] - Wolfgang Schubert (2)
Conductor [Orchestra] - Michael Gielen
Mezzo-soprano Vocals - Barbro Ericson
Orchestra - Sinfonie-Orchester Des Hessischen Rundfunks*
Soprano Vocals - Liliana Poli
The soundtrack of millions of damned souls being driven into the icy depths of Hell at the crest of the coming Judgement Day. If there is a God, he is apathetic.
Or maybe it's just Godzilla.
Captain Quarters or maybe it's a giant black slab that screams at you if you try to take pictures next to it
DralionROBLOX Or maybe it's a... monolith.
Mmmh the universe has no place for hell. .|.
***** Perhaps this is meant to instill the confusion of a soul that knows not for whence it is bound. That's what I get from it, anyway.
otherworldly - beyond beauty and terror
Beautiful choice of images, cuddles on the video.
The words Exaudi Deprecationem Meam in 3:15 is one of the best moments in the music I know.
I imagine this must be a pain in the ass to conduct.
I have the full score it is about 3 feet long....and is an incredibly dense piece to analyse! I am currently studying this piece....and I anticipate listening to it 50-70 times...before I can get a handle on it...I recently performed Brittens War Requiem...That is Kindergarten compared to this...This must be diabolical....and yes I purposely used that word...to perform! I have "just" the vocal score too, and it is like 2 feet by 2 feet squared...it and of itself is a large score!
@@jonathanmosebach7107 what did you study? :P
@@jonathanmosebach7107 but paper is 8x11 inches...
@@DreamlessSleepwalker you think all paper is the same size? Are you high or something
@@powerinmisery Yep.
I saw this live in London in 1989. Ligeti was on the aisle opposite me signing "2001" emblemed programs for kids. And look! There was Oliver Knussen leaning rrrright over the orchestra from the balcony, dangling some plastic bags which probably contained his groceries...

Stanley Kubrick ne pouvait pas faire un meilleur choix pour 2001 Une musique géniale pour un film génial
Ligeti sait bien retranscrire ce qu'il entend par "inhumanité". La seule humanité connue est la nôtre, mais tant et tant de mystères et de frayeurs nous attendent, des formes de vie à coup sûr totalement différentes de nous
I think this is perhaps, along with 'The Rite Of Spring' and perhaps some of the Symphonies of Mahler, the GREATEST piece of music of the 20th century!!! I love Birtwistle's album 'Night's Blackbird' with 'Night's Blackbird', 'The Shadow Of Night' and 'The Cry Of Anubis' on it. Composers like Birtwistle, Alexander Goehr, and Peter Maxwell Davies have saved 20th century music!!!
Cheers - Mike
I think Holst's 'The Planets' Suite is one of the GREATEST pieces of music of the 20th century too!!!
Cheers - Mike
Thanks for the suggestions, Mike. Birtwistle's "Nomos" is also great.
Luiz Duczmal
I'll check that out now Luiz!!!
Cheers - Mike

I've just listened to 'Nomos', Luiz. A magnificent piece!!! Birtwistle's music has so much more depth to it than the pop stuff!!! Although I do like Duran Duran, particularly as they remind me of about 20 minutes one afternoon spent in the NEC in Birmingham, and the lovely dull, empty, cool, building!!! Particularly as they were soon to play there. A happy memory!!! I basically love orchestral music though!!!
Cheers - Mike

Thanks Dan!!! Your a 'Gentleman'!!! I think perhaps 'The Planets' ( 1914 - 1916 ) although played a hell of a lot, is a stand out suite of GREAT music!!! Although Holst ( 1874 - 1934 ) wasn't all that thrilled with 'The Planets' ( 1914 - 1916 ), he rated 'Saturn ( The Bringer Of Old Age )' as by far the most original piece, which I agree with, although I like 'Venus ( The Bringer Of Peace )' best!!! On 'Classic FM', which I quickly got to hate, it's like, what's the ideal piece of music to play just under 8 minutes, oh yea' 'Jupiter ( The Bringer Of Jollity' )', needless to say, wonderful music as it is, they played it as much as possible, as it is so popular!!! I've never heard them play Birtwistle's ( b.1934 ) fantastic music all the time I listened to the show. Even very famous operas like Mozart's ( 1756 - 1791 ) 'Marriage Of Figaro' ( 1786 ), it tended to be the overture that they played!!! That programme has become me and my father's pet hate!!! I have entered some lesser regarded masterpieces for their 'Hall Of Fame' though. One was this, Ligeti's ( 1923 - 2006 ) 'Requiem' ( 1965 ). One was Auber's ( 1782 - 1871 ) 'Crown Diamonds Overture' ( 1841 ) and the other was Cesar Cui's ( 1835 - 1918 ) 'Kaleidoscope'.
That such cluster based verticality should be a platform for the human voice ! Brilliant unearthly relative resolutions. Inspired . Ligeti .
I love this
beautiful
Genius! and Kubrick also used it brilliantly. It really starts to take off at the 7 minute mark.
Totally astonishing. Complete genius.
Indeed! And also another piece... Atmospheres, I think?
Did you know, Ligeti wasn't asked beforehand if they could use his music!
2001年宇宙の旅に寄せ過ぎな動画。
レクイエム全編通して聴くのは初めて。
CDが欲しいな。
Came here after Steven Wilson recommended it on Instagram. Not disappointed
Pure unadulterated genius. Ligeti
Beautiful.
I find this to be incredibly comforting and soothing when I sleep.
Love this music and Gyorgi Ligeti's brilliant work! :)
I am a buddhist and listening to this made me came
same
This is amazing!
My god... It's full of stars...

Ambientación idónea para leer un relato de Lovecraft.
Recent trip to California, hitting the 405 Northbound across Sepulveda Pass on the early side of rush hour. Me (California Native moved to Arizona some 20 years previous): "It's gotten a little crazier since the last time I was here"
My wife, Indiana native who grew up in Florida: Frozen in the passenger seat in abject terror, this music coursing through her consciousness.
Reminds me of a Spongebob episode. The one with squidward in the future.
They actually used this song in the Caveman episode when CaveBob was figuring out the benefits of fire. It's a reference 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Ligeti - the Master of Droning :)
Godzilla 2014 actually brought me here. The HALO jump scene. Pretty much descending into hell and this was a perfect match.
Perfeita,...
I like to listen to this whilst relaxing on the beach.
This sends me to a beautiful place....a place more beautiful than any of my many victims have gone
I feel the same way about Darude's Sandstorm
finally something uplifting and optimistic!
First time i hear this peace of music at night 12:00 o clock with headphone and i was totely stoned...kkkk
les partitions de ce genre de musique doivent être unique en leur genre.
Let them play this at my funeral. This is as close as it gets to the sound of the universe.
i listened to this song once during the day and no joke i had a nightmare and i could hear this song and i woke up in chills
I guess people who step into Hell after death, are welcomed there by this musical work.
