Joep Franssens is a Dutch composer. He studied piano in Groningen, and composition in the Hague and Rotterdam with Louis Andriessen and Klaas de Vries respectively. He is representative of the post-serial generation of Dutch composers who use tonal means and an accessible idiom without neo-Romantic features, even if the pathos-laden, highly emotional nature of his music appears to contradict this endeavour. In his works, which consist of chamber music and choral and orchestral works, Franssens aims at a synthesis of monumentality and euphony and is initially guided by J.S. Bach and the Ligeti of Lontano and Atmosphères. Later a trend towards radical austerity becomes apparent under the influence of American minimalist music, East European mysticism (e.g. Pärt) and the symphonic pop music of the 1970s, culminating in the static diatonicism of the ensemble work Dwaallicht (1989) and the serene counterpoint of Sanctus for orchestra (1996, rev. 1999). The instrumentation increasingly shows a preference for warm, luxuriant colours.
With this milestone on 11 December 2017 - 500.000 hits on CZcams - I want to thank all my fans for their support, together with the many, many choirs and conductors that performed this piece throughout the years, so that it could be spread across the world..
Beste Joep, Hartelijk dank voor deze geweldige vibraties! Ik vind ze werkelijk subliem en hoop nog meer van dezeparels te vinden. Zal zeker meer van uw werk gaan zoeken.
Aurora van Hans Zimmer en deze compositie zijn mijn grootste vondsten van de afgelopen jaren.
Thank you Joep Fansenns for letting us have a glimpse of the music of heaven. Thank you God for bringing Joel into the world. God bless you Joel.
Joep, I don't know if you'll see this/respond, but its worth a shot. Does the composition of this piece directly use in some way Kepler's theory on harmony? Or any other sort of theories based in harmony of the planets? I am very interested in this idea right now and am always excited to hear amazing pieces that reference planetary harmony in their title.
Thank You, mister Franssens!
What a tonal beauty. Joep je bent nu 60/61, de wereld (en daar behoor ik gelukkig ook toe) wil nog veel meer van je horen. Wat een rust straalt je luisterlijke muziek uit.
De mooiste nieuwe Nederlandse muziek! terecht op de hart en ziel lijst.
Close your eyes ... rest the soul ... digest the harmonies ... "Praise the Lord"
THIS IS IT!! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SINCE 2014!! THIS WAS ONE OF THE FIRST CHOIR PIECES I EVER DID IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! :D
This music just appeared by chance on autoplay, and I LOVE this. I never heard of the guy. now I do. Thanks autoplay!
+Reginald Friday yeah this rockz! )
My exact same experience!
Me too! What a great find!
Reminds me of Lauridsen, which is a good thing!
I wanted to write the same phrase. These mega-data platforms can sometimes predict good recommends.
I am speechless. Harmony of the Spheres - written for heartstrings apparantly. Beyond beautiful.
The conclusion of the fourth movement truly describes such sublime peace and beauty that it brought me to tears. It really is a glorious harmony.
Joep, I am so happy to read all these delighted fans of yours. I wish they heard your laughter, so full of joy too.
You give us so much joy!
We had enough of hell already, it is a grace that such masterpiece exists
I’m deeply moved.... moved nearly to tears, by these ethereal otherworldly sounds I’ve stumbled upon. If angels exist, I’m sure this is the sound that follows them.
If?
@@dscott1699 yeah, it seems pretty unlikely
@@DrWhom
We will see
Religious nutheads and minimalist music, name a more iconic pair.
They exist.
This music comes from another dimension, where colour and sound blend together into a new concept. It's love in a pure form...Only divine artists can make this and only divine listeners can receive this. Wow! Thanks Joep....
+jolanda setz -- Buddhists believe in the eventual enlightenment of all humanity. (I admire that because it is the basis for compassion.) When I saw your comment it made me see this music as a cleansing rain that washes away the crusty layers that people build up in a daily exposure to a seemingly hopeless world, a major source of spiritual pollution.
+Noe Berengena Thank you for this beautiful comment. Yes, I understand : this music is pure love and beauty from a pure soul and therefore it will wash away layers that are between our mind and spiritual being. When we open up to receive it... A nice thought on this special Sunday morning.....
wow! I am divine listener! I am so great!!
About a month ago I was woken up by a beautiful sound, that sounded far away. I first thought (its angels singing) but it was just like this but I do remember hearing harps. I had to look it up come to find out Music of The Spheres. I am so grateful that God gave me the chance to listen to the natural beauty at least once in my lifetime. And thank you for making this to remind me of how beautiful God is.
Üdvözlöm tisztelettel,Joep Franssens.Most hallgattam meg az Ön zenéjét a Belgrádi rádióban.Nagyon megihletett.Azt hiszem,Ön megsejtett valamit a világ nagy titkaiból.Köszönöm,hogy ezt közvetítette azok részére,akiknek van hallásuk befogadni a világ titkait.
Joep, dit is een juweel van een compositie. Het roept zoveel beelden op !
Never heard of J. Franssens before but I could listen 24/7... or until I started to turn green. Wonderful work. Thank you (all) for sharing. Blessings. CVD
The whole piece is gorgeous, internal in a spiritual, searching way. At 18:40 there is a movement that is especially otherworldly, way beyond words.
You just said it. Otherworldly. Chillingly sublime.
All of this tremendous work of divine art is amazing, and specially Movement III b-- It´s like entering some kind of Heaven where all heroes go when they die.
Celestial, belleza. ¡Muchas gracias por mostrarlo al mundo!
🔥💫 Thank you for this divine work of art 🙏🤎
De muziek van Joep Franssens is helaas weinig bekend bij de doorsnee Nederlandse muziekliefhebber. Maar Joep speelt als componist al decennia een ongelooflijk belangrijke rol in de Nederlandse muziekliteratuur. Ook hier toont het Nederlands Kamerkoor dat Franssens er méér dan toe doet! Zijn composities - zoals ook deze - zijn van een weergaloze schoonheid.
Dank je wel Joep en NKK!
Love 13:25 onwards. So simple. Sounds like it's been waiting out there in the universe since forever for someone to hear it and write it down.
Franssens music makes you see what you hear.....
'Harmony of the Spheres' was my favourite at night during my trans atlantic crossing by sailboat in December 2015.
Are you interested in much more of Franssens magic music? Please listen to the tracks of his latest cd ' Piano Works' which you can find on his website. A really beautiful recording, exellent played by Ralph van Raat. In Holland this CD has a favourable review.
Wow, sailing across the Atlantic to this !
sinds ik Grace hoorde en zag op TV is hij een favoriet. Geen woorden voor. en inderdaad: wow, over de atlantic zeilen...daar word ik ook stil van. (y)

Thank you for you comment and suggestion!
my pleasure
The ending of movement 3 is absolutely perfect.
Ik zocht wat muzikale begeleiding bij het schrijven van een blog. Muziek als die van Pärt doet het dan altijd goed. Via Pärt kwam ik bij Steve Reich, en via Reich kwam ik bij Harmony of the Spheres van Joep Franssens. Ik wist niet dat we zo'n geweldig componist in Nederland hadden rondlopen zeg. Wat een meesterwerk is dit.....Last but not least lees ik dat hij een van mijn favoriete bands als inspiratiebron heeft: Yes. De wereld is weer een stukje mooier geworden. Dank aan Joep!
wots36 tof! Welke band?
Yes dus....
This took 3 seconds to move me from the very base of my soul, and didn't stop until the end. Amazing.
Everyone should listen to this at least twice in their life time, then try doing it whilst sat out on a hill-top away from the city chaos on a Summer's starry night - Bliss.
maybe you should only
You have a poet's heart. Live long and prosper.
And then realise they wish no suffering for any being intentionaly. and live a long healthy life on a plant based diet.
I'll always remember this day: a cold March night in NYC, in my dorm room near the Washington Square Park, at around 5 am, I discover this sublime and beautiful composition while procrastinating on CZcams instead of writing my essay!
@Divergent Integral Hahhahaha, exactly :D
Thank you for this, this is breathtakingly beautiful. At Movement II I burst out of tears, but happy tears. Life is beautiful. Thank you for your magical work of art.
What a gift you have sent us Joep Franssens, and only a few hundred kilometres away :) Cheering me up no end, on this dark wet October morn!!
Semplicemente Stupenda. Complimenti al maestro compositore e agli esecutori tutti.
I love how this work has primarily slow, somber movements providing contrast to the lighter, happier movements in numbers
III and IV
What a wonderful, magnificent surprise!!! Never heard before music of Master Franssens. This Harmony of The Spheres is actually more than euphonic. Extraordinary! Thanks a lot for this discovery.
Sounds very Renaissance, it doesn't take away from the remarkable, sublime beauty of this cycle. First time hearing and I like it a lot.
Time and space suspended in an inner silence. Sublime.
Gewoon mooi, alhoewel dat niet gewoon is voor een moderne componist. Joep Franssens is dan ook een bijzondere moderne componist, hulde.
This is how the world changes: one way meets another way, and they discharge their weapons, they exchange their words and their markets, they contest and, in doing so, they petition each other for the right to go on existing rather than being nothing. This is the universe figuring out what it should be in the end.
And it is majestic. Majestic. It is the only thing that can be true in and of itself.
And it is what I am.
Superb work. I wish Palestrina could hear this. Maybe, somehow, he is.
I just talked to him. He thinks it is grand.
I agree. Palestrina would love it. But if he's in Heaven; imagine how busy he is! He wouldn't have time!
Amazing piece of music that inspires hope in the midst of chaos and noise.
The beginning of movement 3 b is divine!
add some ketamine to the mix and ur basically drifting on clouds towards the pearly gate of nirvana.
ahahahaha cool
I feel in heaven
Divine in symbology means two vines entwined. But we feels it refers for a heavy supreme force. But it's really the greatness of an artist that make you feel so move of divinest. So humans can be divine, but in seems only fews achieve there divinest or quite conquest more than others.
The Divine are the Father and the Son. The strength in that two walk together in the agreement of growth and in uprightness. As two vines in intertwined as ONE. For as On ONE accord. = Divine.
Wat prachtig: harmony of the spheres./ truly beautiful, Thank you.
It's a pleasure to know the good composer!
It is Sunday and I am feeling inspired and uplifted by this mystical music. It is a wonderful gift to be able to compose this -- Thank you!
yo what's up marcel
hola Marcel 0.0
I am stunned by the simple and ecstatic beauty of this music... Until today I had been unaware of this important minimalist composer (as well as the music of Jon Hassel... What a day!)... I put this piece next to 'Te Deum' and 'De Profundis'' by Arvo Part in my favorite choral music pile. I am excited to think of all of Franssens' work I've yet to be astounded by.
Planet Eye
Could you share some of your favourites? I know it was a while!
thank you for sharing those suggestions
Perfect for cold winter days.
What is this? it's... wonderful.. the beauty is limitless in this world.
An elation most unexpected. Love
When you hear this music, you know you must spend some of your living in the quiet place. Lest thou be lost.
While wandering into new sounds, new ideas, new instruments, new styles, I will never forget my youth singing in boys choir (Petits Chanteurs de Trois-Rivières), Easter's masses, concerts, where it all began for me, the passion for music. That music from Franssens is a shelter of peace. Thank you so much for posting.
The fourth movement conveys a specially deep feeling… The whole work is very appealing. Thank you for sharing it.
Incredible. 23th century music on CZcams...
Fernando Gómez lol
You really should not listen to this passively. What a marvelous piece of art this is. Even though I regularly dislike the strict orderliness of the western Europe, I am always amazed by their art. Thank you for posting this.
Ver lovely serene elements of medieval choral music one is transported to vast Cathedral spaces
Ethereal spiritual music to soothe the soul, Dutch composers are brilliant
Erg onder de indruk van Joep Franssens. Een fenomeen!
Damn, I love this - it's on endless loop at our place.
good afternoon sou do Brasil..primeira que escuto musicas neste canal..eh magnífico amei..namaste..musica sagrada..maravilhoso
.
Beautiful never heard anything quite like it.
masterpiece beautifully composed this guy is great really great!!!!!
A true marvel. Thank you for sharing this discovery !!!
youtube autoplayed me this after Steve Reich's fantastic live in Japan 2008 "Music for 18 Musicians"
Wow! Autoplay just started this track and I simply couldn't stop hearing....
What a deep and beautiful harmony!!!!
I don't know how to return to the world after listening to something so tranquil.
seriously afraid to leave my house right now. worried the first loud unexpected sound I hear will give me a heart attack.
did you leave ?
Actually, Nick, you will be strengthened by the music. It provides a restorative tonic that bolsters inner tranquility. Like deep sleep that restores us physically and mentally.
Astounding ........ magnificent arrangement
I read the trilogy of 1Q84 with this music in my ears. Its a magical match
Master CHANNELER!! where the angels come together, beauty harmony and peace snares in space...inside...outside, the master painters of the youniverse yourself ..
Wow. This video came up in my autoplay and I am not regretting about the fact that I clicked in. Exquisite music.
For all people that enjoy this music; you can watch a portrait by Joep Franssens rehearsing his latest Piano Concerto on our youtube channel Deuss Music Contemporary Composers.
I am very fan ! this sound help me when I work
Es simple y sencillamente hermosa ........................muy mistica y profunda
Is music i can return to...I think its great composition and very inspired.I hope Greek mathematician Pythagoras helped ...Thank you Mr Franssens!Greatings from Greece
Fransenns music is also a music of the elements one can see and feel live action in nature stones by a river in a forest of Maples with the cool wind gusting
This is music of the spheres so you should be imagining heavenly things, both literally and metaphorically speaking. The planets majestically moving in their orbits or angels floating through heaven...
Gracias Dios por la Música. Te amo Dios
Exuberantly controlled. Bedankt!
Sensibilidad , honestidad ,habilidad ,belleza.
Wonderful Harmony of the Spheres by Joep Franssens...
Totally unknown and can't imagine why. Wonderful music.
just like Adam's common tones in simple time. absolutely mesmerizing, layers and layers of voices interweaving with each other, glistening with charm and beauty
SUPERBE ! je ne connaissais pas , merci !
very beautiful music. The universe is singing
I have just listened to the first 8:49 of this video and I can already say that I find it fascinating, to say the least. I had ever heard about this composer. Thank you for letting me know him and his work. Now I must go, but I shall keep listening this until the end, and I shall look for more information about Joep Franssens, as well as for more of his music.
this was a happy find.Remind me of Lygetti. Excellent
Truly amazing as my soul comes to life!
If the music of the spheres actually exists, it is highly likely that it sounds like this… There is another fascinating musical evocation of the music of the spheres by the Danish composer Rued Langgaard. Pythagoras and Plato, among many others, would be amazed if they listened to those compositions.
Quaintly alienation to where we guess to cross after passing away ,which isn't so mystically to those like me ,who doesn't get afraid to reach to the beauty of that unknown passage from where no! one! returns,so! Why be terribleness to such colourful magnificence and mighty obscurity ,as well brightly lit with billions of stars,on whom we would be maybe one of them.YOU really tick the essence of that creator with your deep sencitive of music composItion on this HARMONY OF THE SPHERES. Please keep gladden to all of your fans," for ever and ever." Thanks!
Beautiful piece.
Whoever those people clicking dislike, showing thumbs down: How many wonderful creative contributions have you provided to humanity?
I entered a spiritual dimension as soon as I heard the first note and I had no idea what this was about....
First impressions . . . . like---WOW!
Glad that Tonu Kaljuste has discovered franssens music, perfect for the ECM label !!!
Bom demais sô! Alexandre Coutinho Pagliarini
Discovering music like this is definitely one of the best things about the internet / You Tube ! \o/
Excellent !!
Lindo,, lindo, lindo demais!
Unglaublich schön! Vielen Dank fürs teilen! Liebe Grüße, Gregor

< Why haven´t I heard this guy before!¡ Where have I been? I´m HOME now !¡ jaja Muchas Gracias !¡! >

Dulcemente inusual y extraordinariamente sensible
I first heard this when I was negative (- to be exact) 10 years old and I was at a public concert but the show was free so I enjoyed every bit of it. And so that's how I like this song.
me and the greys enjoy this music on our long excursions to the outer galaxies .
