I remember singing this wonderful anthem as a choir boy at St Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol UK circa 1976 under the fantastic Choir Master Bryan Anderson (FRCO CHM LRAM). The solo was performed by Michael Trembath. Brings a tear to my eye even after all these years. Twelve years old then, now fourty eight - where has the time gone:(
They played this at my Aunts Funeral. I cry every time I listen, and only listen when I miss her, and on the day she died... It's always the high note that gets me...
My (coed, adult, professional) choir sings this ever year...Rainbowmuppet, tell your choir director to check out stlukeinthefields. org and read about the choir.
heh...I tried to get my choir director to let us sing this and he was like "Uh...we don't have enough male voices," and then I said "Well, we can all do it, then!" and he got all uppity about it being traditionally a man choir song. I tried, at least.

If I understood correctly, the Misere is in Dante's Divine Comedy. The souls of late-repentent sinners are gathered at the foot of the Mountain of Purgatory chanting this song when Dante sees them. I don't think its intended to be this melody because I believe this melody was composed about two or three hundred years after Dante.
Oh christians, you did murdered a large portion of pagans back in the day. You do make women's, gay's and black's life miserable. But to make it all up to us you give us good music. For that I thank you.
@koeklimas enough clichés !!! I'm a catholic christian, I'm gay, I come from paganism, I don't feel miserable but SO grateful, and I know many black people and women that feel the same ! Cheer up !
i have always hated church music with the horrible singing couple playing the guitar in every church, but if i could ever choose a song to last for eternity or represent the human race to extra-terrestrials i would show this song... my god... i never cry and im 24 yr old male who listens to rap metal and techno... but song... makes me want to quit everything and live off tree branches and twigs, and begin writing a memoir on a leather manuscript... and i mean a HUGE TOME MANUSCRIPT!
@OrogDeMalfur I've had the privilege to perform this piece in 3 of europe's finest cathedrals including Amiens, with wonderful soloists making me melt every time that high note is cast up there... breathtakingly wonderful from my place among the Basses, a few metres from the soloists. Up there with the finest musical experiences of my life. And I'm a former metalhead too :p. I'd recommend you to make every effort to experience this live.
Here's another one that DB Remote Computing plays while you are on hold. Beautiful songs really, but after waiting for so long, and hearing it so many times, it wears on you.. It translates to ""Have mercy on me, O God". So????
that is how i want mine to go, as i am an atheist constantly in church and singing this type of stuff :) i love this miserere. one of the best pieces of music there is.
To bulletarerad:- Sex with Cheryl Cole? What? ?? I'd rather stick my nob in a bees nest. To put her name anywhere near Allegri's Miserere is sacrilege. She should be working behind a till in Tescos....or burnt at the stake...Arrghh...
What is all the background noise? Can't it be filtered out? Otherwise, what you would expect really. But can do without the history lessons, like no-one else knows the story.
La partition de cette musique pour le pape fut restée secrète jusqu'à ce que Mozart l'écoute et la retranscrive à l'oreille. Elle n'était chantée que 2 fois par an pendant la semaine sainte et quiconque la recopiait était passible d'excommunication jusqu'à ce que Mozart la dévoile (l'excommunication ne fut plus appliquée à partir de là)
Beaucoup la reconnaissent comme la plus belle musique du monde...
My son sung the top treble solo in this years ago with Lichfield Cathedral Choir in Frankfurt Cathedral. Sadly, no recording of it, though! What a wonderful piece though even if it is not as Allegri wrote it.
@bondsee It was kept for only the Sistene chapel choir to sing. A couple of hundred years later a young Mozart heard it and wrote it down from memory and it has been embellished somewhat since then apparently
Just watching a fascinating programme about this on BBC4, "The Story of Allegri's Miserere". The researchers have been looking at Allegri's original manuscripts in the Vatican vaults. They reckon Allegri wrote a fairly short, simple though beautiful piece and it was the Castrati the Vatican who embellished it through improvisation, adding those soaring high notes.
They also say when the Pope heard that the 14 year old Mozart had created a bootleg copy, he summoned him to the Vatican, congratulated him on his musical genius and decided that from then on, the piece could be heard by the rest of the world.
I read an article quoting many, many different people over the centuries who studied the Miserere(Psalm 51)piece and I think the 'high C' in particular was not added in until centuries after the original composition, and that Allegri's original is not so close as to what we hear played today.
apparently, it's gone under many small changes throughout time to evolve into what we hear today. i think i might watch that documentary though!!
@notyobs Nowdays "pope" music stars hear you have release a bootleg copy of their materials, you can bet your ass you'll be prosecuted til you have nothing left
@notyobs he was playmates with a good friend of mine Rudolph Altinger in germany. Rudolph was drafted into the army and i am not sure what happened to our pope. maybe the church saved him? who knows?
Heard this performed by the current King's college choir a few weeks ago - astounding as one would expect, but I was slightly put out by the fact that the solo voices (with the insane high note) were performed by a smaller choir in a seperate room, which happened to be behind me. I understand they were trying to engage the listener more, provide some variety, but it just made it harder to hear the more beautiful passages!
@EdwardWouldNot The reason for the smaller choir is that those verse sections of the piece are always performed by a solo quartet, its how its meant to be.
This is going to sound damn stupid to a lot of people who know the answer...Kings college is a part of cambridge university? I was wondering how boys so young can be a part of it, do they have there own private high school in the grounds?
guilty before almighty god, guilty before his son, guilty before the whole human race, it is the lord who expeals you, he who is coming to judge both the living and the dead!!!!
Plain song verse are sang too slow and precious. From the medieval origins, the rule is : sweet and strong in the same time (not easy to do !), and with a tempo like a speech given to a numerous people, but not slower.
XVIIe century made mistakes about this point, and in the Church of today, copying this mistake is another mistake (!).
I've listened to a lot of these [Miserere's] and I must say, this is my ultimate favorite!!! I know that young man (and choir director) was sick when his little voice broke. His voice is PERFECTION,,, both soloists are, actually! The youngest should be around 23/24 yrs. old now. I wonder if he's currently studying at Cambridge now??? Hmmmm,,, should have a free ride for this piece (performance) alone, eh?
@JwahAmore31 The clip dates back to 1987. If the youngest boys were about 12 at that time, they must be 36 now. Many of them probably still sing in some choir, somewhere ...
We used to sing this every Ash Wednesday when i was at Westminster Cathedral in the 90s. If anyone wants to hear it live, get down to the cathedral for 5.30pm tonight!!
how could anyone dislike this?? This is one of the most spiritual pieces of music... ever! It was so spiritual and powerful that the pope ordered it to be locked away and only had select people perform it during 'holy week' which is what we call Easter.
It is absolutely incredible! And what's even more incredible is that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart heard this once, wrote it down and showed the world!!! Amazing!!
Allegri's Miserere was only allowed to be performed at the Vatican... The Sistine Chapel specifically, I seem to recall. Any person taking the manuscript of the music outside its was subject to excommunication.
The story goes that Mozart, having heard the Miserere only once while at the Vatican, went home and WROTE IT DOWN. The Pope was so amazed at Mozart's tour de force, that he forgave him...Allegri's miserere now belongs to the world...Because of youtube!
@SavedByGraceAdam My point is simply -> stop COMPLAINING and CRITICIZING!! You lash out at Catholics, and zoom in on the problems. You are just a reflection of what you believe in.
@jakodupreez Certainly all humans are intelligent beings. Just take a look at the Dictionary, they have all sorts of meaning of INTELLIGENT. And I presume @jakodupreez, you are an INTELLIGENT person, as you are right about Bilion. However, in case you don't know, point 1, you completely missed my argument, and point 2, the Bible didn't just dropped from the sky. Go read history.
i'm performing this piece soon, Go Florida Singing Sons Boychoir! Gotta love the high C. I wish i could try for the solo but im to sick to sing a C... On bright side Im a 1st treb :[)
The pope thought that this music was too spiritually moving to be allowed to be "Published", so he locked it away in the Vatican, to be sung once a year by his own choir.
One listning, Mozart was there, when he was nine. He memorized the whole thing by heart, after one listning. He then went home, and wrote it up for the world to hear.
Hey Oscar, any idea if it will be the boys, girls or both next Wednesday at York? I'm seriously thinking of attending but want an idea of what choir line up I'm likely to get.
Hi - its usually 20 girls and the 20 songmen on Weds - not sure if this service is any different, but both of the York choirs (boys and girls) are magnificent - and the setting and acoustics perfect for this piece - it 'sings' G by itself!
Thank you Oscar it was indeed the boys - I was fortunate to be in the nave when they practiced the solo verses. The kid doing the first Treble part had some lungs on him.
I respectfully disagree. I am referring to all modern forms of music that is in stark contrast to Western Art/Sacred music. I know the difference between metal, and pop. I was disagreeing with the statement that metal is close to classical, and pointing out the foundational differences. The only genre of popular that is similar to Classical is folk music. It is usually based on a simple melodic tune. Composers throughout the ages often incorporated folk music in their compositions. ie. Brahms.
@docjohn316 Just to add to this argument, Iagree with what you are saying; however a number of metal sub-genres incorporate or even strongly rely on classical or folk music for its stucture. True, the fundamental difference being that metal has a strong percussion base which is responsible for the rhythm which classical does not, but in many (especially more recent) subgenres such as folk/viking metal, as well as neoclassical metal, the melody and harmony components are more in evidence
Metal and classical the same? The music in most of popular music is 70-90% rhythm. It has little or no melody, or harmony. Classical music however, has its foundation based on melody. Then harmony(counterpoint), is built onto that foundation. The music creates its own rhythm, without outside help. These fundamentals of Western Music go back to Roman/Gregorian Chant. The founders of Western Music got their ideas from different cultures of antiquity, such as Roman, Greco, and Hebrew Music.
this kind of music is called "sacred music"... i mean, in portuguese it is called "música sacra", and the literal translation is "sacred music"..... :P
your reply to Heidenstamm was unnecessarily harsh. I can see what is meant, the intake of breath doesn't look enough for the volume produced. However I put my hope in the musicians @ Kings. It's beautiful and if they ever had to pre-record a piece, I'm sure they would over sing it just as beautifully. However back to Dulci Jublio which is where I was going when I was distracted by this. x
hard to belive all these singers will be parents, and have jobs, and take out the trash, and be 80 someday- its a perfect separation of art for reality. I guess thats the point. amazing.

how could anyone dislike this?? This is one of the most spiritual pieces of music... ever! It was so spiritual and powerful that the pope ordered it to be locked away and only had select people perform it during 'holy week' which is what we call Easter.
It is absolutely incredible! And what's even more incredible is that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart heard this once, wrote it down and showed the world!!! Amazing!!

Allegri's Miserere was only allowed to be performed at the Vatican... The Sistine Chapel specifically, I seem to recall. Any person taking the manuscript of the music outside its was subject to excommunication.
The story goes that Mozart, having heard the Miserere only once while at the Vatican, went home and WROTE IT DOWN. The Pope was so amazed at Mozart's tour de force, that he forgave him...Allegri's miserere now belongs to the world...Because of youtube!

@SavedByGraceAdam My point is simply -> stop COMPLAINING and CRITICIZING!! You lash out at Catholics, and zoom in on the problems. You are just a reflection of what you believe in.

@jakodupreez Certainly all humans are intelligent beings. Just take a look at the Dictionary, they have all sorts of meaning of INTELLIGENT. And I presume @jakodupreez, you are an INTELLIGENT person, as you are right about Bilion. However, in case you don't know, point 1, you completely missed my argument, and point 2, the Bible didn't just dropped from the sky. Go read history.

The pope thought that this music was too spiritually moving to be allowed to be "Published", so he locked it away in the Vatican, to be sung once a year by his own choir.
One listning, Mozart was there, when he was nine. He memorized the whole thing by heart, after one listning. He then went home, and wrote it up for the world to hear.

Hey Oscar, any idea if it will be the boys, girls or both next Wednesday at York? I'm seriously thinking of attending but want an idea of what choir line up I'm likely to get.

Hi - its usually 20 girls and the 20 songmen on Weds - not sure if this service is any different, but both of the York choirs (boys and girls) are magnificent - and the setting and acoustics perfect for this piece - it 'sings' G by itself!
oscarwilde95 11 months ago
@oscarwilde95 CORRECTION - it will be the boys choir on Weds - they're also doing byrd's Mass for 5 voices as part of the Solemn Eucharist.

I respectfully disagree. I am referring to all modern forms of music that is in stark contrast to Western Art/Sacred music. I know the difference between metal, and pop. I was disagreeing with the statement that metal is close to classical, and pointing out the foundational differences. The only genre of popular that is similar to Classical is folk music. It is usually based on a simple melodic tune. Composers throughout the ages often incorporated folk music in their compositions. ie. Brahms.
docjohn316 1 year ago
@docjohn316 Just to add to this argument, Iagree with what you are saying; however a number of metal sub-genres incorporate or even strongly rely on classical or folk music for its stucture. True, the fundamental difference being that metal has a strong percussion base which is responsible for the rhythm which classical does not, but in many (especially more recent) subgenres such as folk/viking metal, as well as neoclassical metal, the melody and harmony components are more in evidence
grassieb 11 months ago
Metal and classical the same? The music in most of popular music is 70-90% rhythm. It has little or no melody, or harmony. Classical music however, has its foundation based on melody. Then harmony(counterpoint), is built onto that foundation. The music creates its own rhythm, without outside help. These fundamentals of Western Music go back to Roman/Gregorian Chant. The founders of Western Music got their ideas from different cultures of antiquity, such as Roman, Greco, and Hebrew Music.

@docjohn316 metal and pop are two VERY different things. You're right, about pop music, but ihat has nothing to do with metal.

your reply to Heidenstamm was unnecessarily harsh. I can see what is meant, the intake of breath doesn't look enough for the volume produced. However I put my hope in the musicians @ Kings. It's beautiful and if they ever had to pre-record a piece, I'm sure they would over sing it just as beautifully. However back to Dulci Jublio which is where I was going when I was distracted by this. x

Roy Goodman's recording was done in the 60s and was in English.
Psalm 51 is the text. They are asking "Have Mercy on me, O Lord...". Appoligizing for wrongs done and asking not to be punished, basically.
This version is actually two versions- one atop the other. The original was quite plain, comparedly.

hard to belive all these singers will be parents, and have jobs, and take out the trash, and be 80 someday- its a perfect separation of art for reality. I guess thats the point. amazing.
