Miserere [CD] Gregorio Allegri

Description: "Miserere" is a choral composition by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri, believed to have been composed in the 1630s. It is a setting of Psalm 51 and is one of the most famous pieces of sacred choral music. The work was originally performed only in the Sistine Chapel, and it was kept a closely guarded secret for many years. However, in the 18th century, the piece was copied and began to circulate more widely.The piece is known for its soaring soprano lines, which were originally improvised by the singers of the Sistine Chapel choir. These lines were eventually written down and became a fixed part of the composition. The piece is often performed with a nine-part choir, and it is traditionally sung during Holy Week.There have been many recordings of "Miserere" over the years, including several notable versions by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge. One of the most famous recordings is by the Tallis Scholars, conducted by Peter Phillips. This recording, which was released in 1980, helped to popularize the piece and has been highly praised for its clarity and purity of sound.
