Eyes Wide Shut - Masked Ball

Fantastic song and film! Perfect!
I love this song.. :) Thanks!

It's an "every sunday" romanian orthodox liturgy (played backwards of course). The priest (low tone) is saying: "And God sayeth to his apprentices, a new command shall I give thee now", while the other voice says: "Let us pray to the Lord for the mercy, life, peace, health, redemption, the search, the leaving and forgiving of the sins of God's children". That's pretty much it. Don't know how she got the idea though. Anyway it sounds mystical even without being backwards (I'm not religious).

I always assumed the guy (and woman) acknowledging Bill (early in this video), to be Ziegler (and his wife).

And then ofcourse also later when that man send the woman after Bill, only to be 'saved' by the mysterious girl (which likely was a set-up to scare/warn Bill).

Did anyone else think this too?

and think I thought this was sht. but now it makes all sense! :P

Listen to Rob Ager's analysis of the film for a thorough understanding of what is going on! Fantastic, thanx again to Rob!

In the scene with the ritual, the incantations heard in the background are in Romanian, played backwards. The piece, named "Masked Ball", is an adaptation by Jocelyn Pook of her earlier work "Backwards Priests." When first contacting Pook in regard to providing music for the film, Kubrick asked her if she had anything else like Backwards Priests - "you know, weird."[9]

Is't that F**king weird and creappy i wonder what the priest is really saying...im not religious but very curious.

oh wow i was in wikipedia because i was actually looking for this song before ever commenting it (because is also in a commercial if ya didn't know) anywho this is what wikipedia says:

i like this song, even though is weird and it sounds creepy and scary it made me a bit teary for a second. Also it makes me think of negative ba dthings like death ...so weird. I want to know the real fact of why does it sound like this...I'm going to see if i google it.

Its these same fu&%in pagan degenerates that are bringing down America as we speak. Fu&% the Illuminati man!!!

Only a genius like Kubrick could create this.

eh, you both are idiots :D

Kubrick did use a Hindu song in the orgy scene but this is not it.This is i think a romanian song.Jocelyn Pook-Masked ball

Not sure if you've figured it out by now, but what they meant by "reverted mass" was that the composer took recordings of a mass being sung by two men, played it backward, and added the strings and drum underneath to create this piece.

The WHOLE movie was amazing, not just this scene!

its actually a Hindu massed played in reverse - its use in the orgy scene of the film caused quite a stir at the time, but the piece itself is indeed very good.
