VERDI REQUIEM LA SCALA ORCHESTRA CHORUS KARAJAN

TUBA MIRUM SPARGENS SONUM PER SEPULCRA REGIONUM COGET OMNES ANTE THRONUM WONDROUS SOUND THE TRUMPET FLINGETH THROUGH EARTH`S SEPULCHRES IT RINGETH ALL BEFORE THE THRONE IT BRINGETH MORS STUPEBIT ET NATURA CUM RESURGET CREATURA JUDICANTI RESPONSURA DEATH IS TRUCK AND NATURE QUAKING ALL CREATION IS WAKENING TO ITS JUDGE AN ANSWER MAKING TUBA MIRUM After the threnodies of the Dies Irae, all is calming down, and the sound of remote trumpets is increasing .Everything is turned to ashes. The angels are calling the souls of the dead to come and stand before the throne of the terrible judge. The feared judgement day. Only the Lord can win death and give eternal life.This is a very powerfull chorus passage and it climaxes abruptly into complete silence.
