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.
PAVARROTTI-PRICE-GHIAUROV-COSSOTTO
FILMED IN LA SCALA MILANO 1967.
DIRECTION HENRI GEORGE CLOUZOT
HERBERT VON KARAJAN
