Hymns & Other Spirtual Music

Ave Maria

Always thought this was great. Recorded by a Christian... not quite cult, but community, in the mid-70s. Strange folk and ethereal vibes:

stuff

gesualdo is proper sick yo, specially 5th and 6th books of madrigals! dude is like the varg virkernes of mannerism, killed his wife n shit...

 

Yeah crazy music and dude!

I would add the 4th book to that list.Check the La Venexiana recording.Probably my favorite classical record ever.

Amazing beyond belief.Their recording of Io Tacero is the single most heart wrenching thing ive ever heard.!

If you can get it,please do you wont regret it!

 

With the 4th you see the remorse and madness is starting to get to his brain but still havent do absolute damage.

Its more melancholic than pure darkness like the 5th and 6th.

Gesualdo is a genius in my opinion(mad genius that is)!Most intense vocal music ever written!It cuts your soul into pieces.

I have not cry more to any other composer or musician/music than Gesualdo madrigals.

Io Tacero,O dolorosa gioia and Moro Lasso are some of the most amazing music ever written.

 

But i think to fully get him,you have to have experienced,

or being experiencing extremely intense psychological pain yourself.If you are doing quite well,you will just think its weird music.

But if you are suicidal,in depression or mentally ill the music will hit you like a ton of brick,

because his music is like the perfect musical equivalent of these feelings.Anyway its how i feel.

 

I have not find the La Venexiana recording of Io Tacero,all the recording there is on youtube are 10 times less intense than their version

but this one is ok:

Here La Venexiana recording of O dolorosa gioia,most beautiful singing i know of:

Nice dramatic recording of Moro Lasso,the second part of the madrigal is pure pain:

cheers for the recommendation dude... yeah it's been a while with the gesualdo, around 2008 after learning about him while visiting donaueschinger musiktage i checked out as much as i could find and 5th and 6th just stood the most, probably because they're the most in-your-face effed up. will give 4th a relisten and look out for that particular recording :)

edit: moro lasso=hit!

this feels like church/sacred music to me

Anyone know where this is from or what they're singing?

Whoa, that went somewhere deep. I really love distant echoing chants. Can't tell if I like more monk choirs or female voices (such as the Greek part in OP, somehow lost me when it transferred to English) but damn they really float into your soul. No wonder I love songs like Xtal or Aphex mix of Falling Free, especially the latter...

Dunno if so much related to the thread or posted already on some of the broken links, but I'm a big fan of this:

Well, it's a prayer for Russian prisoners so I guess it falls under the spiritual tag. The Ape Of Naples version is also stellar. Maybe like it even more but the vid above was too adequate not to be posted.
