For those of you who watched the Super Bowl this past year, this commercial is nothing new. It has over 3 million YouTube hits - for a commercial, I say that is pretty impressive. I just encountered it a few days ago and can't shake the ridiculousness from my mind.
When Verdi composed his Requiem (a funeral mass) in the late 1860's, he was inspired to set the feelings of loss, sorrow and anguish. The Dies Irae (Latin for "day of wrath") movement brings out some of the most intense portrayal of raw emotion I have ever heard. The orchestration is incredible and extremely powerful - watch out for that bass drum, I blew my speakers out listening to it a few years back.
