This is from his "Requiem for my Friend"; a requiem he composed after his best friend, famous Polish movie director Krzysztof Kieslowski's untimely passing at the age of 54. For many people, Requiem for my Friend is a masterpiece at the level of Mozart's Requiem, if not higher. I am one of them.

One of the best polish classical musician nowadays

This is so divinely pure but possibly dark at the same time... wonderful. I love it.

[hvchimi]

Absolutely beautiful, prodigiously sung, this is just genius.

[Miffykitty]

Bewildering. Prodigious. Stupendous. Heavenly. Enlightening. Magic!

[shante]

I didn't expect it to happen so soon...
Rest in peace Your Majesty. 🖤 😢

[GloriaJWimberley]

[valardohaeris]

Thank you so much for compiling all the sung parts together so that we can avoid the pauses in the original piece :)

[emmanuelfuenmayor]

This is so majestic, and at the same time so traggic.

It truly portraits the scene: a happy prince Margaret being married, all the greatness and power in one ceremony yet, the person she got as life companion so dark and twisted.

[SeddieWeddie]

Rex tremendae majestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietatis.

Ingemisco tamquam reus :
Culpa rubet vultus meus :
Supplicanti parce, Deus.

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla.

O king of dreadful majesty,
Who grantest grace and mercy free,
Grant mercy now and grace to me.

I groan beneath the guilt which thou
Canst read upon my blushing brow,
But spare O God thy suppliant now.

That day of wrath and grief and shame,
Shall fold the world in sheeted flame,
As David’s psalm and Sibyl’s songs proclaim.

[simsandwins]

They used the requiem in the crown?! Guess i should start watching. This is hands down my favorite requiem, preisner is a genius

[Ksixstring]

If you like this, type in lacrimosa. Soundtrack from the tree of life. Very haunting.

[GrzegorzJakubowski]

Ten utwór to już ma wiele wiele lat. Z 20 lat to ma na pewno, bo pamiętam jak w 2005 roku leciał na National Geographic po śmierci papieża Jana Pawła II.

[marcmarti]

It is actually not sorted
as the original latin text but here it goes:

Rex tremendæ maiestatis,
qui salvandos salvas gratis,
salva me, fons pietatis.
...
Ingemisco, tamquam reus,
culpa rubet vultus meus,
supplicanti parce Deus.
...
Dies iræ, dies illa,
Solvet sæclum in favilla,
Teste David cum Sibylla!


King of alminghty majesty
thee that saves because of your grace
save me, source of mercy
...
I cry because I'm guilty
The guilty blushes my face
forgive, oh god, this supplicant
...
That day it will be a day of wrath
where world will be reduced to ashes
just like David and Sibylla foretelled

[lonelyqueen]

If you look up the meaning of the words, turns out this is actually a dirge or funeral song. I am fascinated that it was used as a wedding song for Margaret. Why?

[eat.snickers]

hi anyone knows how the track, song, or the theme music is called that step up in the serie The crown and in other movies f.e. the big Lebowski? ??thx..so epic and romancy
