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.

Allegri's setting of Psalm 51. Introduced by Barry Rose, from a 1987 programme which includes Barry Rose talking to the Choir's director, Stephen Cleobury about how he trains his choristers (that will follow seperately). I have had to edit out one verse I'm afraid to make it fit on Youtube. I took out one where the cameras spent most time gazing at the stained glass windows.

Miserere Mei Deus

This piece is Psalm 51, but first set to music by Allegri around 1630. It is one of the finest and most popular examples of renaissance polyphony. It is often heard in Churches of the apostolic Christian tradition on Ash Wednesday, immediately following Shrove (or pancake) Tuesday, marking Christ's return to Jerusalem. Beautifully performed here by The Sixteen, listen out for the simplicity, humility and reverence.

Vatican 1600 (Allegri's Miserere performed by the Tallis Scholars)

This recording of Gregorio Allegri's glorious Miserere is perhaps the purest, most definitive sound ever achieved by a professional choir. It was performed by the Tallis Scholars under the direction of Peter Phillips and recorded by Gimell Records in the early 1980s. The photos I took inside St. Peter's Basilica in Rome in 1997 without filters or flash. It was a little dark that day and the lighting wasn't so good so the pictures are a bit grainy.

Miserere Have you ever seen a sound have you listened to an image have you ever touched a thought have you ever tasted nothing have you ever told a lie that was true more than truth because truth it had lied all its life when it spoke to you? And what did it say it is that it is this this goes here here is there it is not yes it is it was dulling your senses your eyes they were bound have you ever my friends been looking around? And the other replies with a wave of a hand I am already here in this promised land but not by a god and not by a king and not by a spirit deep from within I am here because a miracles a whim <b>...</b>

The Sixteen - [G. Allegri] Miserere

Miserere, full name "Miserere mei, Deus" (Latin: "Have mercy on me, O God") by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri, is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) 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. The service would start usually around 3AM, and during the ritual, candles would be extinguished, one by one, until one remained alight and hidden. Allegri composed his setting of the Miserere for the final act within the first lesson of the Tenebrae service. More: en.wikipedia.org www.ancientgroove.co.uk
José de Nebra (1702-1768) Miserere [extracts pt.1 of 2]

01. Miserere mei Deus 03. Amplius lava me 05. Tibi soli peccavi Eduardo López Banzo, conductor _____________________________________________ José Melchor Baltasar Gaspar Nebra Blasco (January 6, 1702 -- July 11, 1768), was a Spanish composer. José de Nebra was born in Calatayud, and was taught by his father, José Antonio Nebra Mezquita (1672--1748), organist and master of choirboys at the Cathedral of Cuenca 1711-1729. Two brothers were also musicians: Francisco Javier Nebra Blasco (1705--1741) organista of La Seo, in Zaragoza till he moved to Cuenca in 1729, then succeeded by his brother Joaquín Ignacio Nebra Blasco (1709--1782) till his death.[1] He died in Madrid. More than 170 works by Nebra survive: masses, psalms, litanies, a Stabat Mater, a Salve Regina, cantatas, villancicos, and around thirty keyboard works. But his significance is as father of Spanish opera, and the zarzuela. Some of Nebra's choral works and solo cantatas have been recorded on CD by the Spanish group El Ayre Español.
Josquin Des Prez: Miserere mei Deus

Perhaps a native of the Vermandois region of Picardy, he was a singer at Milan Cathedral in 1459, remaining there until December 1472. By July 1474 he was one of the 'cantori di capella' in the chapel of Galeazzo Maria Sforza. Between 1476 and 1504 he passed into the service of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, whom he probably accompanied in Rome in 1484. His name first appears among the papal chapel choir in 1486 and recurs sporadically; he had left the choir by 1501. In this Italian period Josquin reached artistic maturity. He then went to France (he may also have done so while at the papal chapel) and probably served Louis XII's court. Although he may have had connections with the Ferrara court (through the Sforzas) in the 1480s and 1490s, no formal relationship with the court is known before 1503 when, for a year, he was maestro di cappella there and the highest-paid singer in the chapel's history. There he probably wrote primarily masses and motets. An outbreak of plague in 1503 forced the court to leave Ferrara (Josquin's place was taken by Obrecht, who fell victim in 1505). He was in the north again, at Notre Dame at Condé, in 1504; he may have been connected with Margaret of Austria's court, 1508-11. He died in 1521. Several portraits survive, one attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. Josquin's works gradually became known throughout western Europe and were regarded as models by many composers and theorists. Petrucci's three books of his masses (1502-14) reflect contemporary <b>...</b>
Salisbury Cathedral Miserere Mei Deus

This really gives a soloist a chance to shine (several chances actually, as if hitting that top C once wasn't heroic enough!) Allegri's incomparable Miserere Mei Deus (Psalm 51) being sung for an actual service in 1995. I also have a short bit of the choir being rehearsed for this if anyone's interested. I've also posted King's College Cambridge doing it just for the camera! It's superb. I think the silences are considerably longer, and that Salisbury truncated them to make the piece more suitable for the service. For the lyrics, see Psalm 51. Copyright King David. Virtually anonymous chroristers all over the country perform to this standard week in, week out, with little recognition, all in the course of a day's unpaid work, while untalented pop 'stars' make millions. Funny old world!

Allegri Miserere

This is possibly the most definitive version of Allegri's Miserere that I have ever heard. Performed by "Pro Cantione Antiqua" in 1985. Pro Cantione Antiqua (For the Ancient Songs) of London are a British choral group who were founded in 1968 by Tenor James Griffett, Counter-tenor Paul Esswood, and conductor and producer Mark Brown. From an early stage they were closely associated with conductor and musicologist Bruno Turner. Arguably, they were the leading British performers of a cappella music, especially early music, prior to the founding of the Tallis Scholars. This video celebrates the glory of English Cathedrals, along with the original Latin text and translation. Enjoy!

Jean Baptiste Lully - Miserere (1/2)

Jean-Baptiste de Lully (Italian: Giovanni Battista di Lulli) (29 November 1632 - 22 March 1687) was an Italian-born, French composer who spent most of his life working in the court of Louis XIV of France. He is considered the chief master of Baroque French style and he disavowed any Italian influence in French music of the period. He became a French subject in 1661.

Gregorio Allegri: Miserere Mei Deus, 1638, based upon Psalm 51 (complete and unabridged video). Patrick Husson, 1st soprano, echo choir. This is the only recording that I have heard where the high, solo phrase is sung in one breath as a castrato could, their being known to have had far greater breath capacity than even most adult men, let alone a boy soprano. Colmar Boys Choir School, Alsace (with adult males.) It is reported that this composition was so highly regarded by the Vatican that no copies of the score were permitted to be given to anyone else; however, in 1769, WA Mozart heard this twice at age 12 at the Vatican and wrote down the work from memory, thereby permitting the rest of the world to enjoy this exquisite musical experience.)

Choir of King's College Miserere Part 2(recording 1963)

Look for Part I. Regardez pour la 1e partie. Miserere by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (also called "Miserere mei, Deus" - English "Have mercy on me, O God") is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins on Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week. It was the last of twelve falsobordone Miserere settings 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. The setting that escaped from the Vatican is actually a conflation of verses set by Gregorio Allegri around 1638 and Tommaso Bai (1650 - 1718, also spelled "Baj") in 1714. The Miserere is written for two choirs, one of five and one of four voices. One of the choirs sings a simple version of the original Miserere chant; the other, spatially separated, sings an ornamented "commentary" on this. Many have cited this work as an example of the stile antico or prima pratica. However, its constant use of the dominant seventh chord and its emphasis on polychoral techniques certainly put it out of the range of prima pratica. A more accurate comparison would be to the works of Giovanni Gabrieli. Mozart was summoned to Rome by the Pope, only instead of excommunicating the boy <b>...</b>
