Allegri - Miserere (best quality)

Miserere, by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652), is a setting of Psalm 51 composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins as part of the exclusive Tenebrae service on Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week. It was the last of twelve misereres composed and chanted at the service since 1514 and the most popular: at some point, it became forbidden to transcribe the music and it was only allowed to be performed at those particular services, adding to the mystery surrounding it. Writing it down or performing it elsewhere was punishable by excommunication.

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.

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 Is kinda funny how you want to show that you have an objective point of view upon religion or faith, but at the same time you offend theist by saying that they

believe in "ghost stories" or "fables". Ignoring God does not mean that He doesn't exist anymore :D

Peace!

@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.

Ave satanas!

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

Mortuus Pontifex!

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.

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

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)
