If this is not played at my funeral I refuse to attend.

One of the most beautifully evocative pieces of music I have ever heard in my 87 years on this planet

Glory be to the Father,and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. So beautiful

It only takes time for people to recognize that Morricone is on the same level as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven etc. Thank God I saw him alive in concert.

ENNIO MORICONE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSERS OF ALL TIMES.THANK YOU FOR THAT

My wife was singing in the choir during that performance. It was a treat which she remembers till today!

One day people will understand how brilliant Morricone really was, and this is definitely one of his best pieces ever written.

How can human beings produce something as beautiful as this yet still be so brutal to each other

How lucky we are on KZfaq to see and hear such magnificence

Buenas. Se lo dedico a mi madre fallecida el 25 de octubre de 2001. Gracias por todo.

This entire score was one of the greatest musical achievements of all time.

My wife Virginia passed away on Aug 5th, she loved this song so at her funeral the priest played if on the churches loud speaker system. The whole 8.59 minutes.

This is what I think heaven must sound like.

I'm an oboist who played this piece in her mom's funeral. My heart will never be the same again.

The choir starting at 5:35 touches heaven.

We walked my father's casket out of the Church to this instrumental. So beautiful and one of his favourite. Love you always, Dad. May your soul rest in peace.

Three weeks ago my dad passed away. My heart is in pieces. Maybe in heaven he was received by Jesus with this song. I like to think so. If you believe, please make a prayer for him. His name is José Evaristo Sobrinho. From Brazil.

How can a human being compose such a beauty? It goes beyond understanding. Eternal respect to the memory of a musical giant who is missed profoundly by all lovers of his majestuous musical talent. Eternal respect to the Maestro Ennio Morricone.

Sublime. Morricone immenso. Non ci sono parole per descrivere questa musica. Occorre solo spalancare le orecchie e chiudere gli occhi. Grazie maestro.

Spotify has several beautiful renditions of this piece but I always return to this specific performance. The addition of the choir brings me to tears and touches my soul. Bravo! Bravo!

This music is a perfect example of how something so very beautiful can make you cry.

Sad that it’s nearly three years ago Morricone passed away but his haunting music will live on.

by far... one of the prettiest works of art i have ever seen. as a homeless man.. living and working out of my car on the mountain... i would drive down to get a shower at 3 am in a gym.. and listen to this song... on the way down to town... .. knowing my work for God, country, and self preservation lay ahead. The Song reminds me of the sunrise.... hope, righteousness, ... hope for true dignity. the version i listened to then.. was with Yo Yo Ma ... i will never forget those mornings....

There are no words to describe the love that I have for this masterpiece, I feel an explosive mix of feelings when I hear it, I feel levitate and flew through the clouds, and from there I can reach back to the past, in my past, and I can see that in some of the most beautiful and important moments of my life, this unequaled soundtrack was always there... I've heard this music over and over, unending times, in moments of passion and love, on my wedding ceremony, when I was blessed by the birth of my two beloved sons, even when my son learned how to play flute, he offered me the privilege to play it for his dad. This sublime music gave a meaning to my existence, filling my life with love, joy and tears, yes, I always feel my eyes wet when I remember that this masterpiece certainly it was composed in the heaven, because everyone can feel it a divine presence. If one day someone reaches to the paradise, I am sure it will be received for this music. Thank you so much Ennio Morricone for having allowed the mortals to feel this unique moment, when they are still on this planet.

I've listened to this dozens of times. It moves my heart and sometimes it makes me cry. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

The comments on this video are as uplifting as the music. Even the ones in a language I don't understand. The power of music.

Drown in this music: So beautiful... a gift from God... Long live Ennio Morricone...

오보이스트 곽연희님. 정말 그 어떤 연주보다 아름다운 연주입니다. 감사합니다.

"Gabriel's Oboe" theme is one of the most (if not the most itself) heart-melting, soul-breaking and chills-giving melodies and musical compositions that have ever been created. Every time I listen to it I have a mix of feelings: tears fight to roll out of my eyes while I realize the incomensurable power that humans do own to create beauty and, at the same time, to destroy beauty. Just for this masterpiece alone, Ennio Morricone deserves eternal recognition.

I saw the movie in 1987, and was totally blown over by it. The force of the actors and the story. And that music! What a gift to a broken world.

God composed this music. He chose Ennio Morricone to deliver it...

Maestro Ennio Morricone....legenda nad legendama...jedinstven i neuporediv u svemu,sada i zauvek...🌷🌷✨✨✨🕊️🌞🌍✨

We are expecting our first baby and we listen to this song every day. If she can hear something from the womb, we want her discovering the beauty of life with this heavenly music. Thank you, Morricone.

Ennio was one of the greatest composers ever.

When "The Mission" came out, i sat in awe in the theatre, tears streaming at the beauty of this music. Now, nearly 40 years later, still the same. May God rest your soul, Maestro 🕊️

This summer I was lucky enough to be able to go to Iguassu, I took this recording on my mobile and being able to be alone at one of the viewpoints of the falls, listening to this music is one of the moments I will remember as long as I live

I have to say that I rank Gabriels Oboe as one of the most beautiful songs EVER composed and this recording is just perfect.

This sounds like angels... I called my son Gabriel. And I listened to this song while pregnant, and later when he was born, and when he was 1y old, he asked me to play it over and over again, like he remembered when I listened it when he was in utero. It's almost mystical.

I love this Asian oboist for the control and strength to produce heavenly music and that goes as well for the flutist. Respect and gratitude to Sir Ennio Morricone.

❤❤I'm 12 years old I have to play this song on the piano in the orchestra this year and I'm very happy because I'm starting to love it... this is the definition of harmonious music for me❤❤

The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe) is the most beautiful melody that penetrates the soul. I am still very sad that Morricone has passed away during this pandemic. His noble music makes us remember the power of love and music. The world may not return to what it used to be. But wherever we are, our souls are tied solidly. Let's live together in the same time without forgetting “love”! With love from Japan.

This oboe performance is pristine and ranks among the best ever performed of this Morricone classic. It's amazing how a gifted concert musician can rise to the solo moment, soar among the ether, and then slip quietly unnoticed back into the full orchestra.

It makes me cry right now. This music is beautiful, profound, and sad

Maestro, your music will live on and on. Humanity thanks you for this wonderful piece of music.

Can you imagine the feelings of honour and pride being chosen to play in his orchestra or/and choir ?

I can't imagine life without this piece of music...grazie Ennio!

Onore al nostro grande maestro ennio moricone

I agree that this is the best piece of music ever written.

In ogni città, paese, villaggio, borgo, ci dovrebbe essere una strada, una piazza, un vicolo intitolato al nostro grande, unico, ETERNO maestro ENNIO

Ennio Morricone, un genio assoluto: il Michelangelo e il Leonardo della musica moderna. Come loro ha dipinto quadri ed opere immortali ❤️🇮🇹

One of the great pieces of music. It soothes the soul…. It brings out the best emotions…. Ennio was a genius…. His legacy will last a 1,000 years…. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

sempre anche se ascolto 1000 volte questa musica, ho i brividi e le lacrime mi salgono agli occhi. Perché? Che corde del cuore sei riuscito a toccare maestro? Hai visto il cielo e hai ricreato la sua musica.

The oboe solo is sublime, but I would also like to point out the perfect and spirited flute solo. The whole piece is astounding and straight out of heaven.

This was our wedding's theme. It was the most beautiful wedding ever. I'm in tears remembering it.

He was the Mozart of our time

Che magia, MONUMENTALE , grazie Ennio 🇮🇹

A hymn when we leave our body to the eternity

Possibly the most sublime piece of music ever. Utterly enchanting.

Tears are flowing 🙏🏿 this is beyond beautiful.

Even He gone..His Music is eternal~

Dio ha dato all' Italia tanti tanti doni e genialità e meraviglie. Eccone uno su tutti. La poesia musicata del maestro Ennio Morricone ❤️✨🙏

God needed a composer and got the best. People like Maestro never die, they live with their music forever . Thank you Maestro for your heavenly music.

such beauty, beauty in music, beauty in interpretation, beauty in Ennio's genius mind.

Maestro Ennio Morricone's greatness consisted of humility, a little shyness, immense talent and abysmal determination. We have to thank him for taking us to unexplored lands of Music and Imagination every time we listened to his compositions. Grazie Ennio ♥.

When I listen to Mr. Morricone's music, Ther's a little bit of the divine in him. Thank you, RIP

Morricone, - the only composer who can fill my soul and break my heart at the same time......tears ...

Ennio Morricone. Your legacy will be here forever🎉❤

This piece brings back a lot of fond memories I have. It's super nostalgic and healing, yet it also breaks my heart. It's so beautiful!

Stunning music! If I were dying and on my way to Heaven I imagine this is what it would sound like.

I think this is Ennio Morricone's Master Piece composition. It touches you right in your soul.

Such a beautiful haunting song! The young lady playing the oboe is phenomenal! This moves me to tears every time I hear it.

I cry for all the sorrows of the world and pour out my love on this bittersweet valley of tears until such time we are all swept up in the arms of Source eternally.

My dad loved the film The Mission. Because of that, I got introduced to this magical piece. I've been listening to it since. He passed away about a month ago as I am writing this. Love you Pap. This one is for you

Ennio Morricone said that sometimes ideas for music came to him in his dreams which is why he always slept with a notepad and a pencil by his bed. This truly is music of dreams. Heavenly dreams. I have no words. Even after 30 years ( since I heard it for the first time), it still brings on elation and tears. Every time, without a fail.

Sometimes we're so engrossed in the film we don't appreciate these absolutely wonderful musicians

Grande orchestra e soprattutto un geniale e Grande Maestro Morricone. Meraviglioso. Grazie.

When you think you've shed enough tears, the choir comes

Beautiful soul searching music Ennio was a complete genius

Morricone un genio della musica! i film senza le sue colonne sonore non avrebbero avuto lo stesso successo.

Morricone really was an angel from heaven.He went back to were he came from.

The best composer of our time. One of the best of ALL time.

Yeon-Hee Kwak literally sings the most tender and beautiful rendering of Gabriel's Oboe I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them. She brings everything to it. Every note, every phrase sounds as from the heart of the composer.

😢 4 months and 15 days ago it doesn't get any easier. I lost my favorite person my dad. When you spent a lot of time together and called him every day sometimes two or three times a day. Very difficult. Beautiful memorial he was retired military. ❤😢

Ti amo Ennio Morricone... sei stato un genio assoluto.

Such a beautiful masterpiece from God through Morricone! 😊

I know you can't hear me Ennio, but this soundtrack has been the background to my life for decades. And I'm glad that you existed...

God Bless You Ennio. You make an oboe cry tears.

Never ceases to amaze me how one human being can write such a stunning piece of emotional & almost descriptive piece of music? To imagine that he writes the score for every individual instrument & every voice and how all that brings to life the totality of that music I find astonishing! A talent beyond my comprehension, and one I'm thanful came to exist during my lifetime :) I tend not to be a jealous person, but if I was going to be jealous of anything, it would be Morricone and the music he creates :)

For me it is the number one masterpiece in music history ever!

this sound is a legend. It should have won the 1987 Oscar for Best Original Score

For me this is one OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL pieces of film music ever ... Thank you Ennio Morricone for this ....

No podía ser de otro; Ennio Morricone siempre ♾️ será ÚNICO!!❤😢❤😢❤😢❤😢❤😢❤😢❤😂

I hope that before he died, Ennio realised the incredible gift he gave us with his music. Poetry of the soul.

You can NOT unlove this music after you hear it. I listen to it as I pray. Thank you Mr. Morricone.

This is the most Beautiful ❤️😍 Film Score ever!- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU

Capolavoro assoluto,insuperabile,eterno ❤

If this music doesn't stir you or touch your heart, you don't have a soul. Rest in Paradise Maestro. 🙏

The oboe solo was sublime perfection. As if she was born to play it.

The greatest composer of the 20th century. Ennio's music touched so many people in a such a positive way. Rest in peace maestro.

He was an inspiration for all that cherish music
