The Tuba Solo And Trombone Solo Are Amazing,so as this piece,but the lakemotive sounds retarted on this movment

No question his inspiration lies somewhere else...it actually comes from his desire for a woman. But this movement in particular places its foundation on the use of the Dies Irae chant. That's what Berlioz implemented to make it all come together.

So he used it...Big deal...I think his true inspiration lies elsewhere...That's pretty apparent...

Bells are slightly out of tune, there was a bit of a sour strike with the G bell, but it's still brilliant!

Well, why not? I mean, he uses the original chant...

Well... you may have been right if Holst or Shostakovitch had even been born when this was written. Nice try.

this is sure awful. just compare it to the Divine music of Bach or the magical music of Mozat, and you will see what i mean

the mahler symphony before mahler symphonies. except of course, the awesome church bells. so inspiring, almost makes me want to try opium (before buying the orchestra score of course)liszt and berlioz both used "dis irae" in two different pieces. berlioz used dis irae as a parody (not in a negative way, an excellent parody), liszt used "dis irae" as the base of his piano concerto, "totentanz" which is also very jaw-dropping to listen.
