That opening. My Lord....WHAT POWER! ORGAN KING OF INSTRUMENTS FOREVER!

organ is so powerful. i wish my church would use this organ instead of guitars and drums

The best church organ. Notre Dame will shine again full of singing people and organ thundering

Even for those of us with no experience of Latin in church, the sound of Latin hymns and Gregorian chant sounds so... heavenly. I guess edifying sounds will always transcend language and culture.

incomparable ; notre dame de paris ; cochereau ; pâques ; le monde est beau, le monde est meilleur ;

HEUREUSEUSE DE VOIR LA cathédrale dans toute sa splendeur avant les fétes de paques et avant ce drame merci beaucoup

I would LOVE to be inside Notre Dame during the singing of this sequence!!! The thunderous blast of the organ, the glorious acoustics, the angelic choir, the rising smoke of incense, and the earth quaking under my feet! Are we standing on Mount Zion?

I heartily agree with you. I have visited Notre Dame de Paris many, many times, and have played both the organs during Masses, and have given a recital on the Grand Orgue. Nevertheless it is good that this version of Victimae Paschali Laudes has been sung in at least three churches in this country. I was immensely pleased, and honoured, to receive at telephone call from M. le Chanoine, Monseigneur Jehan REVERT on Easter Day, he who conducted this performance..

Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ!

Pierre cochereau maître inégalé de l'orgue quel joie de l'entendre sur l'orgue le plus prestigieux de france!notre-dame de Paris !merci à vous!

Great Gregorian music in the beautiful cathedral of the Notre Dame, magnificent organ music and choir. Blessings, especially for our French friends! From a Dutch Roman Catholic Christian.

this is the most beautiful hymn I have ever heard

💫✨🌟 Christus surrexit vere, alleluia !🌟✨💫

This is truly magnificent. Notre-Dame de Paris is the perfect setting for this timeless and ancient sung prayer with Pierre Cochereau at the great and grand Aristide Cavaille-Coll organ. Incomparable. Thank you for uploading this.

I absolutely love the fiery roar of the great Cavaillé-Coll organs. Especially this one and of San Sulpice.

Stunningly, incomparably, beautiful!

Notre-Dame me manque énormément...

Totally Devastated....the day after Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week/Easter Week 2019... HOW could this TRAGEDY happen. I so wanted to visit. My deceased mother spent Christmas Eve here in 1970 and never stopped talking about it. So much here, the famous windows and the incomparable historic Great Organ....home to the creators of the iconic Late Romantic French organ music from Cesar Franck,Louis Vierne, Charles Widor, Charles Tournemiere, Marcel Dupre, Olivier Messaien, Pierre Cocherau etc . I am in California, not Paris. I am not Catholic by upbringing but the Sacredness and Spirituality embedded in this experience is universal.....I have been a member of the West Coast version of Notre Darme, Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.

Stunning.... just no other word for it & how anyone could not be touched by this is baffling.

I'm so sad about the fire , please make it beautiful and holy again Amen !

Easter Sequence. Superb chorus, the largest organ in France, and the exquisite acoustics of the second greatest Cathedral dedicated to Our Lady (after the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome).

pure beauty

I wish the Latin Mass was fully restored to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris...

Christ est ressuscité Alléluia!

If anything will give you goosebumps or bring you to tears, it is this organ. Truly magnificent.

Pour moi, c'est la plus belle interprétation (même si l'orgue est parfois trop présent). Les voix féminines sont sublimes. Elles nous élèvent vers le Très Haut. Par moment elles sont réconfortantes. Très émouvant. Je l'ai d'ailleurs "dédié" à ma mère, qui s'en est allée, il y a quelques temps. Les cantiques en latin, tantôt dégagent une force intense, tantôt nous permet de "rentrer en contemplation".

It shall be heard once again in that blesséd cathedral, never fear!

Alleluia!! Wonderful noise!

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

In Memoriam, Frances Clarke Brown Doggett on her 9th anniversary of passing 12/11/2009(2018) My mother, Frances attended Christmas Midnight Mass at Notre Dame, Christmas Eve 1970 and never stopped talking about it. She had a great love of great Cathedral organs and organ music. Her experience was magnified into the early 2000s at Grace Cathedral,San Francisco on Christmas Eve, a sacred place in North America with parallels to Notre Dame

Absolutely Stunning! WOW!

He is risen! She will rise again.

simply stunning...

Cantique magnifique !🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊

Piękna bazylika, serce Paryża, organy.

My favorite organ

Magnifique

WOOOOOOOOOWW! PONTENS! Es el Mejor Anuncio pascual que puedo escuchar.. me hace revivir ese momento de resurrección!. Sencillamente magnifico.

Esecuzione impeccabile armonia di cori e suoni che si fondono in un acustica perfetta.l unico cruccio è la mancanza di una sequenza presente nel testo originale.

The full organ nice

This stirred my soul! Please keep posting videos like these...I hope to one day visit Notre Dame but this will hold me until I can. THANKS!!!!

me gusta mucho, me gusta la magnificencia de la Iglesia. La música es inspiradora y poderosa.

Alleluia, Christ is risen!

This makes me so proud to be Catholic!!!

OTHER WORLDLY!

Cette oeuvre est vraiment magnifique Pierre Cochereau et la Maitrise de Notre Dame s'accordent à la perfection, direction JEHAN REVERT. vous pouvez retrouver cet enregistrement sur CD , marque FY et du SOLSTICE, sous ref : CYD 45 édition sans doute de 12.2002.le titre : GRANDES HEURES LITURGIQUES à NOTRE DAME DE PARIS. le Te DEUM, le Magnificat en ton royal, le motet sicut cervus de Palestrina et d'autres chants grégoriens + les cloches de Notre Dame.

Notre-Dame ♥️🙏🙏

What a lot of Contra Bombarde! Don't upset the Organist, for he can make more noise than you can! :-)

L'orgue est d'une puissance !

Eine tolle österliche Aufnahme für Christus dem Sieger !!! Alleluia !!!

I heard Pierre Cochereau here in Hagerstown MD when he gave a concert years ago. He arrived moments before the concert and had never seen the organ. Nevertheless, he gave a great performance.

Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus regnat vivus. Dic nobis, Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulcrum Christi viventis: et gloriam vidi resurgentis. Angelicos testes, sudarium et vestes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos in Galilaeam. Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluja.

Grazie. Sergio

It has been sung in Birmingham Cathedral, and at St. Augustine's, Edgbaston. I took down the harmonies from this recording and wrote it all out.

@clay10h: in Germany we call this music with guitars, drums, PA etc. "Happy Clappy" which still has to endure and survive throughout the following centuries as the traditional sacred music already has done...

Sublime

Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus. Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulcrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos [vos] in Galilaeam. [Credendum est magis soli Mariae veraci Quam Judaeorum Turbae fallaci.] Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. [Amen.] [Alleluia.]

Eu amo este hino,pois transmite toda glória de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo.

Très beau, merci.

amazing sound !!!!!!

Sublime!!!

Chair de poule assurée, tellement c'est religieusement beau.

One of my favorites already.

Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: Tu nobis, victor Rex miserere Amen. Alleluia.

So thrilled. Un bello canto gregoriano!

Absolutely Amazing!

Precioso!! estoy sin palabras!!

How rich the glories of sacred, musical tradition in Christianity.

This is a slightly different version of the Gregorian hymn, but it is appropriate here for Notre Dame, which shall arise again after the diabolic attack it suffered. Quote from an expert: old oak does not burn easily !

Quand j'entends ça, je me dis pauvre Europe qui as perdu tes racines!! c'est quand même plus beau que le chant du Muezzin..

Questo filmato ha preso un imprevisto grande valore documentario.

Powerful stuff. Fantastic!!

Formidable!

CHRIST IS RISEN!!!

Je crois que oui !

This setting of the Easter Sequence was composed specifically for Notre Damme Cathedral in Paris. It is the only place in the world where you can hear this setting and I can assure you that their music is not in chant notation but in modern day notation with specific rhythms, harmonies, and dynamics....unlike the gregorian version commonly sung throughout the world.

To the Paschal Victim, the Christians offer praises. The Lamb redeemed the sheep: The innocent Christ reconciled sinners with the Father. Death and Life fought in singular fight. The owner of Life, who had died, now reigns alive. Tell us, Mary, what did you saw along the way?

COMMOVENTE

A legjobb!!! Amen!

Wahnsinn !!! Unbeschreiblich !!! Unglaublich !!!!

Cher Mgr Revert, qui avez fait chanter et prier cette Cathédrale, avec votre Maîtrise...! Maîtrise qui n' était pas alors une assemblée de Schtroumpf et dont les voix de garçons suffisaient à la louange de Dieu et de Marie...

Very nice!!!!!! Mary

This gives new meaning to the term "celestial".

damn there is true power.

Furthermore it has been sing regularly in Norwich Cathedral, where the Choirmaster was formerly a pupil of mine, and took away a copy of my transcription! After all these years I have just found out.

I've found (and I've heard) this version just before easter 2011... And I'm living in "full enchantment" since then. I'm the leader of a little chatolic choir in Hungary, and I wonder if I got the score of this wonderful piece (even for fee / money /etc...) !! Is it possible ?? :) Many thanks in advance !!! (if my english is bad : sorry...)

This is indeed Pierre Cochereau playing--it exists on a CD of him and the choir singing other chants.

😍😍😍

Viva Jesus Cristo 🙏

I'm sad to have read that the Organ was lost in the fire. :( Thankfully your video and many other recordings of it will ensure that it's music will endure forever.

Huge pipe organ & lots of Latin. Pax Vobiscum.

Bientôt le grand orgue de ND va résonner à nouveau dans une cathédrale neuve ! L'incendie aura permis d'entreprendre des travaux équivalents à ceux d'il y a 150 ans avec Le Duc, travaux dont il aurait été difficile d'entreprendre à notre époque par manque de moyens budget de l'état. Si Violet Le Duc était vivant en 2020, je me demande quel projet il aurait choisi pour reconstruire la toiture ? Les matériaux d'aujourd'hui dont il ne disposait pas a son époque l'auraient-ils inspiré ? L'incendie, un mal pour un bien inespéré.

jesus is my life.....

@lightflavour12: in the Easter Sunday of 2010, Lefebvre plays this Prose "more powerful". I upload this version in youtube (Victimae paschali laudes & alleluia). Sorry for my poor english.

How beautiful ! Hans NL

Cher Mgr Revert, merci pour ces beautés! Je crois avoir usé le vinyl d' où vient cet extrait...! Souvenir ému d' un voyage à Rome avec vous et la Maîtrise... C' était bien sûr avant les schtroumpf et le bidon d' huile évidé qui sert d' encensoir actuellement "in-situ"...

@eaglescout5 This piece and the Te Deum are available on a CD called Grandes Heures Liturgiques. Hope this helps :)

@emotiiii I'm 100% sure this is P. Cochereau. I'got the very CD., Lovely. Cheers, Wessel

Where can I find a recording of this? This is amazing!
