I still remember hearing this for the first time. Actually, I bought the record in order to listen to the motet Sicut lilium. However, this one made feel shivers around my body. So, if there is time to play the record while I am dying, you know...
The original is not as appealing but the this version caught the world's attention. I believe there are three variations. I personally am not a puritan/traditionalist and I suppose it is down to exposure. My uncle sang it in our family's local classical choir as a child until his voice broke. This version has been played at various times throughout my life and I am so impressed with Peter Phillips and Tallis Scholars execution of this masterpiece, thank you
First, turn it around. It is not being sung at 'us' at all, but toward what Christians term 'God' (as Aquinas puts it). So whether or not you believe - as Christians do - let your heart and mind, body and soul soar .. for < God > , per se, seems to believe in us (like it or not). If you see what I mean. ;o)
i always hear your marvellous voices which directly reaches god,angels and saints in heaven really you are not only singing ,but you are praying Agoustinos the saint said who sings is praying twice Especially this sacred psalm. God be with you all of you big success also praying ,as saint agoustinos said who sings is praying twice this sacred psalm.may god be with you, choir and conductor youare really great
Oh goodness gracious I wish I was a treble. I know it’s a young boy thing. I’m just a crappy Presbyterian who appreciates good music. This is Easter time music. I cannot hit those high cs or even es. But it was lovely. Thank you
It is not Maundae Thursday when this would have been sung and yet it is a wonderful piece of music and should be enjoyed any day but sung especially on Maundae Thursday
I am just hearing it on the radio and have goosebumps... And after 20 years I hear in The Lord of the Rings soundtrack a distant echo of this kind of music, religious undertones...
I recommend the original 1980 disc by the same group, the one with the Palestrina and Mundy. Another with tremendous high C's is their live recorded version from a concert in Santa Maggiore, Rome.
This "Miserere" was sung on Ash Wednesday - 22 February 2023 - in nave, during Evening Service, by Washington National Cathedral Choir (Washington DC, U.S.A.). Peace & All Blessings to All !
Agreed, she was very good. It would have helped a lot to have camera operators and a Director who knew the Allegri score, and who was going to sing what part when. It's actually quite challenging to learn who the personnel are, but I think the soprano in question is Amy Haworth.
Hi, Allan, I think the same about this wonderful soprano. Often the female solo voices in the high notes are not really perfect: I always look for the one who reaches a fine effect and here she is ! A great pleasure for my ears and for my soul. 😌
For the acoustic effect. This should be performed in the Sistine Chapel, which looks grand but is quite intimate. Whether in rough diamond or polished stone format, the play between different angles is as important to the effect as the variety of voices. ;o)
Yes, it was written for two choirs. Choir II usually consists of four soloists, although I have occasionally seen some of the vocal parts doubled up. There are five vocal parts in Choir I. There are frequently multiple singers on each part, unlike in this performance. Often, the plainsong is sung by one or more tenors from Choir I.

The Tallis Scholars do this piece to perfection

Absolutely love this piece of music, always makes me at peace with myself.
An ad in the middle?? Really?
The sound of angels singing
every time i listen to it i feel like i was born again and purified from sins🙏
If anything could make me believe in god... It's this

This is holy
Did you see the 2 Nuns sitting at the back?
I've seen the Tallis once before but next Jan 2024 got tickets.

God be with you all of you big success

Putting ads half way through is awful . At the beginning but not in middle
It’s a sin.
youtube needs ads ... otherwise you could not hear it for free !!!

There was a time when TH-cam did not have ads.

Perfect performence !
Thanks.
Amen ✝️🕊️
Wonderful!!!
Sheeesh that shit bussin' just dope 🔥🔥
The ending is so beautiful 10/10!!!!! 😊
Perfection

Any Presbyterian who appreciates this music cannot be considered "Crappy." :)
incredible

Bravo ♥️🙏🏽

Well, JRR Tolkien (author of Lord of the Rings) was a devout Catholic...
Where can we find the music record to buy ? This is beyond words !

Exactly what I could say too !
If only they still sang like this in churches 😔
They do. Just depends where you go.
This is stations or passages of the cross.
I like to call it bath music. Buts that’s just me.
I agree. I so much miss this music. Choirs did this when I was young. Now it’s is let’s be modern nonsense

Yes. My choir sang it for Palm Sunday this year.
I’ve sung this in past as part of a choir that loved the classics of the Catholic Church - I miss it!
Best Version ❤
who is the contralto in the first choir? She seems to be new to the Tallis Scholars.
Oh my god, TH-cam. Don't insert advertisements in the middle of this. With "music". Jesus H.Christ!
I was SO shocked by the ad!

Who is the soprano who sang those glorious stratospheric Cs and the other high notes so memorably ?
Agreed, she was very good. It would have helped a lot to have camera operators and a Director who knew the Allegri score, and who was going to sing what part when. It's actually quite challenging to learn who the personnel are, but I think the soprano in question is Amy Haworth.
@@hughvane Many thanks and best wishes, Allan
Yes..it is difficult for a woman to sing with such clarity. I think Andrea from Voces 8 could manage it though.
Hi, Allan, I think the same about this wonderful soprano.
Often the female solo voices in the high notes are not really perfect: I always look for the one who reaches a fine effect and here she is ! A great pleasure for my ears and for my soul. 😌
Who knows. I’m enjoying this
👏👏👏👍👍
this should have millions of views not the tenebrae version
agreee 🙏
look up "there is no need to be upset" there's a meme video with over 3M views and uses an older recording of them
“ cleanse my flushy sins away from me, cuz only you can do that"
Two different groups of singers?!?

@@TheLeonhamm Thanks! Since my comment, I actually saw another video (two groups) performing Miserere at Cambridge.

@@arjaygee Thanks! Very interesting.
@@amessenger3208 You're very welcome.
Where is that church?
Would someone please tell me where, in what building , was this performed ? Thanks.
Hello John. Its in Mont-Saint-Michel (the view of the outside its a sublime piece of art).
Lent
The ad that just interrupted was one for Biden. How disgusting. I'd rather see one for hemorrhoid cream
bro....get that ad break out of here...smh
