  • Ave satanas!

    In nomine dei nostri satanas luciferi excelsi, Ave, salus infirmorum, miserere nobis!

    Mortuus Pontifex!

  • @zyklonsykdom Święty Michale Archaniele, wspomagaj nas w walce, a przeciw niegodziwości i zasadzkom złego ducha bądź nam obroną. Oby go Bóg pogromnić raczył, pokornie o to prosimy. A Ty, wodzu niebieskich zastępów, szatana i inne złe duchy, które na zgubę dusz ludzkich po tym świecie krążą, Mocą Bożą strąć do piekła. Amen.

  • 24 people tried to write it down and were excommunicated

  • i am in a chior and have sung this

  • May be , religious or not , on hearing this music , everybody should remain silent and reflect on how his own actions could bring some hapiness and peace to some others. This is what inspired me this music.

  • hmm. not brilliant audio, lots of noise and a high background ambient, Sorry

  • Praise the Lord!

  • This sends chill down my spine it is so beautiful it is a privelege and an honout to be able to click on here and listen to it. I am in a choir and we are doing this soon in a performance so doubly important to hear it sung so well.

  • Praise the Lord !!!!

  • Has the words of lilium Kyrie,Devine,Eleison =.

  • heard this in daft punks movie "electroma". it is currently the most listened to song on my iPod.

  • When I was growing up, this was the only thing in the world that ever made my father cry. He's passed the trait down to me, now.

  • people still listening to this kind of music, indicates its value. its sad that nowadays there arent many decent musicians

  • @thanosalimos thats a little unfair, there are plenty of great musicians...

  • Thankyou. I would not say that I am talented, but I love classical music and singing it. In my church choir (I'm not Christian) we get leaflets for services to sing at in surrounding churches and Exeter Cathedral sometimes. I recently sang at the 400th anniversary of the King James' Bible in Exeter Cathedral which was a lot of fun. I'm hoping to put up videos of myself singing on youtube soon but don't know when. Just to see what people say. As well as egyptology, I would like a singing career:)

  • Thank you for posting this! I first heard about through reading a Mozart bio in which he apparently copied this 'guarded' piece of music from memory. It's quite haunting and lovely. I'm Roman Catholic and it's a sin the Church chose to censor this beautiful piece. It was a God-given talent that wrote it and the Church had absolutely no right to prevent others from hearing it, or performing it the world over.

  • I had the amazing opportunity to sing this as a choir boy in our church choir. Misfit kids, great instructors and choir masters - shout out Thomas Fitches - He made this a passion for all of us. I was hoping to sing the high soprano, but alas I got second soprano. Still brings tears to my eyes all these years later. Seemed hard to learn, but once learned, effortless to sing. I think we choirboys got a few rounds of hangman in as the old geezers sang their bits though. Thanks for sharing.

  • beautiful harmonies

  • listen to another version - soundcloud com/remigiusz-idzik/miserere-m­ei-deus-psalm-51

  • It has been my lifelong dream to perform this as a soprano.

  • @martharoyce Good thing you are a woman then - this was originally written to be sung by a male castrato, (Allegri was a castrato.)

  • @wen2110 I haven't yet-I am only 12-but I will someday. I have already sung in Exeter Cathedral 4 times and hope to do so again soon, but I love this piece a lot. Interesting about Allegri. I don't know much about him but he was very talented; that much I do know.

  • @martharoyce Good luck to you! You must be very talented yourself to have already sung in Exeter Cathedral. Would love to hear you if you get to sing there again : )

  • @wen2110 'Allegri was a castrato'. :(

  • it feels impossible to write the notes after hearing it for the first time......

  • Mozart thank you so so much for saving us this one

  • Heaven takes no notice of those crass comments, so neither should you. As your blessing is the true appreciation of this divine expression off the human voice. AA.

  • This is simply amazing. I'm speechles..

  • what choir group sings this? I must know!

  • @Daleboca95 King's college choir I'd say.

  • Meraviglia mirabilis

  • why do u cry ?

  • Comment removed

  • So beautiful - it made me cry!

  • I think I read somewhere that Mozart heard this once and wrote down so we all could enjoy and not just the Pope Is this correct

  • @TheDockerfan He transcribed it completely after only hearing it twice when he was 14 years old. He showed it to the Pope and, instead of the excommunicating him, the Pope was so impressed that he awarded him a medal.

  • @bordarboy Thanks for the info. Obviously I only got half the story

  • @bordarboy i have read that mozart was excommunicated and then reinstated after he composed something for the pope. amazing what bribery can achieve - even today, if you find the right priest. hope you are enjoying your journey, robbie PS i guess that now puts me on the black list

  • I am an atheist and I find this extremely inspiring and beautiful. It's a shame that the church had to indoctrinate all this music, but sometimes I think without the inspiring idea of religion, music like this would have never came into existence. That is the only reason why I believe religion has greatly benefited humanity, by giving the hope in these darkest times. Unfortunately it came with a lot of corruption. I live my life not for God but to experience and create beauty.

  • Millions of people over the centuries have been denied the opportunity to hear this because of the church choosing to keep it private. So, you can thank Mozart and the internet for making it possible for you to hear this today.

    Theist or not, Don't waste your time here on earth creating division based on which fables or ghost stories you believe in, or not.

    This music is composed, created and performed by your fellow man. Inspired by something, but created by man.

    Enjoy the music.

  • @InputCity i love how while promoting liberty you make a subtle stab at religious doctrine. Very clever. Applause. Accolades. 

  • @InputCity Church kept it private by widespreading it in Bible and reading it on masses... ;)

  • Nice Music !

  • i think SKRILLEX PERFORMED THIS BACK IN THAT YEAR LOL>>>>

  • This is so beautiful. Thank you for posting.

    

  • Takes you to a whole new world.

  • This was used in This is England?! For crying out loud, must pop culture always steal whatever is good?

  • I am not religious at all but I adore this piece of music... does that make me bad?!!!

  • @naomiaustin yes, be religious. 

  • @Grmario85 lol

  • Can anyone help? A few bars of this wonderfully haunting piece of music were used at the beginning of a pop song possibly in the early 90's. Does anyone know what it was or who it was by?

  • @princess010898

    I think you might be thinking of a band called Enigma. Can't remember which track though. Hope this helps.

  • Lindo!

    Salve a Santa Igreja Católica!

    Paz e Bem!!!

  • To all visitors to this video, I apologise for the attention that my innocent comments of approval of this music have attracted from certain bigoted people. It was not my intention to start a religious argument on this comments section And I regret that I have unwittingly been the stimulation for it.

  • @Darwinsman You shut that argument down masterfully. Bravo, and thanks for respecting the music. =)

  • @rehtlh I believe that even on youtube there is a time and place for everything and this video was not the time or the place to argue about religion. Thankyou for your comment.

  • @Darwinsman

    Not your fault if somebody desecrates and profanes this music with religious comments.

  • @aiserceneccaunt Thankyou.

  • @Darwinsman

    I have doubts about an atheist's sincerity. Are you truly sorry? If so, you must repent and convert to God and believe in Him. "I will teach the wicked Your ways, that sinners may return to Thee." (Psalm 51:15)

  • @Ioannesmartialis Please see my comment in the top comments section.

    If you want to debate religion, contact me on a more suitable video comment section or PM me.

    This is a serious music video. Show some respect.

  • @Darwinsman np, It's the music that I came for :D

  • Too bad music isn't like this anymore.

  • bible fight brought me here

  • it breaks my heart..to pieces! "Allegri - Miserere mei, Deus"

  • adult swim brought me here

  • Its so surprising that only few individuals have to experience this...(so heavenly, exciting,acoustic).

    thanks for the upload

  • Thank you so much for the upload, sbarbina87. I only wish that you had included the name of the choir. I would like to buy a CD which includes this, and I love this version that you have uploaded here so much, that I wish I knew who the singers were. ❤

  • @MademoiselleSwann It sounds like the choir of St Pauls Cathedral singing....check out Allegri: Miserere - Choir of St Paul's Cathedral - Jeremy Budd, Soprano...on here, see what you think?

  • @seuzy58 I just now saw your helpful comment. Sorry to be a bit tardy, but thank you so much!!! I know that I have to have a CD of this music but I really want THIS recording. Thank you for the tip. ❤

  • @MademoiselleSwann Not sure where you live but most music stores allow you to listen to tracks on headphones prior to buying, this way you could check out if the version on the shelf is this one...so to speak :)

  • Best quality? In mono? I think not.

  • Is it true, as I heard, that Mozart when still a child, heard the Misereri whilst traveling in Italy and wrote it down from memory?

  • @awakeamericanow Oh im not sure if he wrote this down but he often wrote scores of music down from memory.....

  • @awakeamericanow Yeah. One hearing. The pope summoned him and he thought he would be excommunicated but the pope was like. Mozart basically your a boss come work for us.

  • @awakeamericanow Yes. Mozart wrote this piece from memory after hearing it only once. He was 14 then. This fact is often offered as an example that geniuses are not only good at reasoning, but also at remembering things.

  • Music like this always tips me over to the theist side of the scale. This music is other-wordly, it brings tears to my eyes.

  • @lydiloo93 Peter Cleefe tells the story of an atheist who converted after listening to Palestrina and feeling only something beyond human experience could inspire his music.

  • @lydiloo93 you know why, cuz this music is devloped in realm state... FULL ON ONESELVES REALM ABOUT the FORCE OF STRIVING toward VICTORY in any context.. not inspired wholly by oneself through immense thinking in a level one goes into that state whr things just get a whole new look blended and powered by what the guy is seeking after... Cuz you know those days there wasnt an inspiration through another form but rather wholly on oneself... If im right i'll be glad if im wrong i'll be glad to..

  • @lydiloo93 What makes it even more amazing is that it's NOT otherworldly. :D This incredible piece of music was composed and performed by human beings just like you and me.

  • @spaceylacey83 ...human beings who existed in a time when the transcendent was as much a reality as the immediate natural world and was felt everywhere. this is the result of 'divine inspiration' so no, it IS otherworldly--this could Never have been accomplished without Christianity. even Nietzsche knew/prophesized that the death of God meant nothing higher to draw from, thus the decline and disappearance of this sort of meaningful cultural output...

  • @spaceylacey83 I agree to an extent - this type of music is written with a set of rules that were devised by humans and yet at the same time were thought to have divine resonances - that is why certain intervals are used and not others. It is music inspired by another world, by a belief that this isn't all there is and a longing to be close to that. The power of the human spirit or inspired by God? To quote the text: "Domine, labia mea aperies et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam"

  • beautiful, thanks for posting, but it's incomplete the rest is: Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

    Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.

    Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

    ***** Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year """"""

  • watching it right now on the tv

  • Psalms chapter 51, King David, the Psalmist's prayer, a plea for forgiveness after being confronted by the prophet Nathan about his sin with Bathsheba (fornication) & then (pre-meditated murder) setting her husband Uriah up, placing him in the front lines & then telling the army to withdraw behind him, so that he was killed.

    King David repented, shown by this Psalms 51 & was forgiven by God, but not without dire consequences. God forgives us as long as we are truly repentant, even for murder!

  • Belief for the sake of believing is irrelevant because we cannot see after death or know what happens , its what it gives you in this life which, from what I can see, gave them strength and vision. The only question worth pondering is what you may gain from accepting or rejecting this philosphy, and if you reject it, what you would chose? Of course you have yourself, but i think this shows their is something outside the self, or perhaps inside, which is shown this music. Strive to see.

  • Excellent!! Is this the David Wilcox arrangement sung by the Choir of Kings College Cambridge?

  • Must be Heaven !

  • the music was a closely guarded secret within the Vatican until a teenage mozart set it to score from memory. :)

  • THIS IS SUBLIME...gives me goose bumps,timeless,love it and I ain't religious.

  • @cultengirl I share your thoughts on this...sublime voices, beautiful music and not relgious!

  • hermoso

  • This music has an unmistakeable sanctity. Thank you Sharbina for uploading it.

  • @rich02468 You're correct - But a young Mozart heard it once and went home and transcribed it!

    All of it exactly.

  • Searched for this obsessively after hearing it at the end of This Is England... It is spine chilling

  • @Prettytacky I am the exact same, just found it now :P

  • @Prettytacky Yes this is perfect

  • @Prettytacky DUDE I 1st HEARD THIS SONG IN FACEOFF MOVIE LOL>>> WHEN CAGE WALKS THROUGH THE CHAIRS IN THE CHURCH >>

  • needs some djent

  • Beste.

  • i dunno why, but i feel at peace when i get to listen to this.... Marvelous.

  • Just heard this beautiful piece of music for the first time, in the movie "Maurice". Truly haunting!

  • What an incredible piece of music. So beautiful. Thanks for posting.

  • Castor Troy is about to arrive

  • Beauty..

  • One of many great things about Europe. My God, I say metaphorically, I love this!

  • I love this, but the ending is chopped off. I need resolution!  lol

  • how can there be any beauty without Him who is Beauty itself?

  • @abadplanner1 shameful comment, perhaps people voted because of the low rumbling noise ?

  • Listen this music wrote by a roman of 16th century, look at this wonderful Michelangelo's fresco on top of Sistine Chapel and try to desagree that de renaissance art is superior the art of our time. It's impossible.

    The world of technology buried art!

  • at least 18 people have no taste in music, as you can see by the dislikes. That's sad..

  • this is the most beautiful thing i have heard in a long time

  • anyone else see a big weeping monsters face when you look at the back wall? hint, the two arches at the top form part of its eyes.

  • I'm a Wiccan but I love this music more than I can say.

  • What find amazing is that Mozart only had to hear this piece twice and was able to write it out fully. Before he had heard it, this piece was sacred to the Vatican and no one was allowed to have the manuscript. But once Mozart had heard this piece, that changed. lol. I wish I had that ability :-/

  • @trp8155 Actually most versions go that he heard it just once and was able to write it out fully. He then returned again in the afternoon to make some minor corrections.

  • 2:40

    Anyone hear a sound like someone throwing up?

  • who's the performer?

  • @margotlorena1 Gregorio Allegri

  • @i3like3punane yeah that's the composer, I mean, who is performing?

  • Why are brutes commenting in this comments page?

  • it's incredible ! I wonder how the hell it is that a boy of only 14 years can completely rewrite a work so stately, after it listens only two fucking times ??!!

  • @siderifuck Well Mozart wasn't a genius and a Rock Star for nothing. The Rebel in him made him jot this 'forbidden' music down. ;-)

  • 17 ppl suck dick HAHAHA....

  • when i went to london i went to st pauls cathedral and they sang this song it was amazing you could feel the holy spirit in the church

  • As a deaf man, I love this picture.

  • @MetaRothSephKnight - the music sung is as beautiful and rich as this picture!

  • This music has nothing to do with your religion, it's just so amazing.

  • I love this, and I'm a zombie.

  • Today I learned that this would only be performed once a year in a Holy Week mass in the Sistine Chapel which began at 3 AM. The candles would be extinguished one by one and the Chapel would be left in darkness. To transcribe the music or perform it elsewhere was punishable by excommunication. Can you even imagine sitting in the dark, listening to this, as the candle light flickered on the walls and ceiling?

  • @rich02468 The choir at my school will be singing this song.

  • @rich02468 I more like the Allegro by Misereri

  • tanto arte, tanta belleza desperdiciada en avodah zarah

  • Electroma

  • I love it, and I'm a Muslim!

  • @nooooo929929 How does it make a difference if you have a religion or not, anyone can like the song.

  • thank you +

  • Face/off :)

  • This music is a miracle. And I'm an atheist.

  • @CelphaFiael Best nonsense phrase ever

  • @CelphaFiael witam

  • @CelphaFiael

    cheers

  • I am a staunch atheist too CelphaFiael - people should recognize that atheism in no way diminishes from our enjoyment of art, music and the natural world just because we don't believe in a higher power. I don't care if this piece was written for God, Allah or the Flying Spaghetti Monster...it is sublime.

  • @andyeis923 listen to the other performance by the 16.... magical

  • Comment removed

  • @CelphaFiael This means that God (Infinite Energy, Life, Love, Beauty... call it whatever you want It) is not on altairs or temples but Everywhere. It's what you see and what you hear and what you are. I used to sing this song in churches when I was a kid and this sound all around you is kind of meditational... and I'm not religious.. ;-)

  • it has 1111 upvotes

  • best quality ? really ? Sounds like 128 MP3 to me.

  • @sethdesade Probably the best you're going to get with the compression Youtube uses.

  • Sounds like King's....why not post the performer?

  • nirvana shoulda done a cover of that.

  • I just love this video alsthe tenor comes over the rest of the chior I have another version of the same piece :0)

  • @peterawilliams The soloist is very nice in this version...

  • @illnino1608 slipknot = shit

  • @guitaropathe The good title is"people equal shit" :)

    

  • any idea when this was recorded?

  • @OneWayyKarma 1633 obv

  • I've been looking for this for ages. I heard it on some story tape about Mozart when I was little and I used to replay that part over and over just to hear it in the background. Wolfie rules.

  • Thanks for this beautiful piece of music. So prayerful. Brings real peace to the soul.
