Video Description

This unique and fascinating performance of the beloved song from Danny Elfman and Tim Burton's 1993 "The Nightmare Before Christmas" incorporates *both* Ecclesiastical and Classical Pronunciations, utilized to convey Jack's sense of confidence mixed with confusion and doubt. The text has been rendered masterfully by Stefano Vittori in true Ancient Roman poetic meter, the very soul of Latin, so well as to surpass the power of even the original lyrics. 🎶 Now available on Apple Music and Spotify! 🎶 The Nightmare Before Christmas in Latin!

TAPHIĪ Quis enim reprobat bona, quanta mea operōsa Minerva creat? Neque, nocte Hecataeā nova cum nāvō, eget ingenium studiō, facileque nimis artī lemurum est nostrae vel adultō ēlicere metum: puta gesticulō hāc, ululātū illūc, tremefacta caterva virum. Annusque alius redit atque īdem, tremitusque odiō magis et magis est, ut hoc mī - quis id crēdat? - sit eō gravius, quō iterum veniat. Ā, nesciō quae vacuitās per ossa jam glīscit mea. Ā, nesciō quae cupiditās domōst procul mī incognita. Metuum quasi lār Stygiumque jubar fugo tē, fugis ut furiās. Mē abigunt Alamannī metuuntque Britannī; clueō vel apud Galatās. Calvamque meam sine damnō adimam, dum Hamlētī tibi cito rhēsin: nōn homo, nōn animāns ut strix ululāns recitat ut ego recito poēsin. Quisnam umquam hīc sentiat animō Colocynthēī dominī trīstī laurum īsse odiō? Vellem pateat! Nam ipse abjiciam, modo dum liceat. Ā, nesciō quae vacuitās mōlītur in mē rēs novās. Plaususque plausū trūditur flētumque nōn medēbitur. _____ Support at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LukeRanieri ☕️ Support my work with PayPal: https://paypal.me/lukeranieri Luke Ranieri Audiobooks: https://luke-ranieri.myshopify.com ScorpioMartianus apud Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukeranieri/ Legio XIII Latin Language Podcast: https://youtube.com/LegioXIII Merch: https://teespring.com/stores/scorpiomartianus http://www.ScorpioMartianus.com
