- Sir James MacMillan composed his Miserere to be premiered at the Flanders Festival in 2009. There are many choral settings of this Psalm 50, but the best known is the famous setting by Gregorio Allegri: • Miserere mei, Deus - A... . MacMillan's setting is 12 minutes long and a big sing for the choir. If you have time, we encourage you to sit back and listen to the whole piece - it's a contemporary masterpiece!
This film is taken from the broadcast of a concert at St John's Smith Square in London during April 2023. With grateful thanks to BBC Four for broadcasting this concert and permitting us to share it with you, to K418 Arts for production, and to St John's Smith Square for hosting us.

I was in the audience for this. It was stunning. I love this piece but this particular performance knocked our socks off. The man next to me, who had never heard it before, whispered "Oh my god!" at the end. They have recorded it and I highly recommend.
Wow, extremely difficult piece remarkably performed by the choir ! i didn't know this musician at all , what a splendid discovery! thank you so much for sharing ! Tenebrae , you are all perfect as always ! Greetings from France . Véronique.
Thank you so much Véronique!
Thank You, Nigel Short And The Tenebrae Choir For This Beautiful Gift Of Music 🎶
I have heard other choirs sing this spectacular and spiritual piece but this one is exceptional...the phrasing is perfect..it brings the majestic quality of the music and a lot more. Tenebrae and Nigel Short is the best version.
Excellent performance ❤ Big fan of Tenebrae and Nigel, as all COTE members. Fond memories of working with them online ❤❤
No words to describe, pure beauty
The human voice - the most versatile musical instrument ❤
Each SATB solo did so well I can't stop listening
gotta respect the crowd's patience before clapping, wonderful piece once again. Good job y'all
Yes!
I was lucky enough to sing this in a workshop recently - not an easy piece for amateur singers but really rewarding. Thank you for recording this beautiful performance!
Really well done, thank you. MacMillan is highly challenging but highly rewarding. I sang his Cantos Sagrados many years ago, and while I would not want to repeat it, I am grateful for having had the opportunity.
Beautiful.
Celestial.....BRAVI TUTTI from Mexico City!
Oh my, such magical humility and talent!
I love this so much...!!
Goosebumps! Thanks McMillan, thanks Tenebrae!
So beautiful! Thank you for this
Saludos cordiales.
Sois muy talentos! Sus voces son celestiales!
Bravissimo!!!
L ’ incarnation de la Beauté par des voix angéliques pour élever notre âme vers le divin ...
Absolutely sensational!
Wow!
I listen from Romania. Wonderful !
Wonderful. I love Tenebrae and the composer. A huge privilege to work with Nigel and members of the choir when COTE recorded Spem.
Ich durfte bereits zwei Konzerte in der Schweiz geniessen. Freue mich jetzt schon auf das nächste. Ist Live noch beeindruckender, da die Stimmen noch mehr tragen. Balsam für Seele und Geist ❤
This is really incredible. The skill and stamina of the choir is only matched by the beauty of their delivery. The opening of the first movement with what I believe are scale shifts are just really well executed, and they resolve their clash so harmoniously and almost completely by the end of the first movement leaving me wishing for more, and greeted by the power of the melody and unison of the 2nd movement. The third movement gives me the chills, hallowed and haunting like an echo of the past from Gregorio Allegri's Miserere mei, Deus - Allegri. I've never studied music in depth but one only needs to hear this piece after having heard Tenebrae's Miserere mei to recognize the similarities. My favorite is the soft creshendo of unison about 11 minutes in and the beautiful sweeping melodies to conclude. So worth it... Your audience was absolutely spellbound as well they should be! BRAVO! One of my new favorite pieces!
Thank you so much!
Melodies that lift the spirit. absolutely beautiful. A musical greeting from Perú
This is just next level.
What an absolutely stunning performance. Thank you!
The ending of this piece always brings me to tears - and it certainly did this here.
Gosto de Miserere Mi Dios! Cantem nesta Capela! Pois o Som ecoa divinamente
Voci e coro meravigliosi. Saluti dall'Italia.
Exceptional as always! Praise Lord Jesus Christ! 🕊️✝️⛪️❤️
Magnifique, splendide
Perfection!!!
Chapeau bas!!!
Stunning, also piece and performance👏👏
This is pure magic. Highly complex piece. Only Tenebrae to nail it. Divine.
Simply amazing and beautiful performance! The TENEBRAE CHOIR definitely has no equal....and Nigel Short conducting is just marvelous!!!
Thank you very much!
This was fantastic. Tenebrae is just wonderful stuff.
Thank you
Beautiful ❤. thank you.
Beautiful! 🇵🇭
Go on tour in the US!
👀
What a wonderful performance
Thank you!
Harmoniquement tellement riche.
Absolutely love this choir, so inspiring. I tried to see if the choir had ever done the Bach chorale -Bach BWV 244-3 Herzliebster Jesu, but I couldn't find it. I hope you might consider trying this one at some point.
Ich musste schon wieder flennen..Wenn ich diese Musik höre, bin ich in das 14.oder 15 jahrhundert versetzt und stelle mir meine Vorfahren in glänzender Rüstung vor,wie Sie Ihren Feinden auf dem Schlachtfeld gegenüber stehen.
Wonderful performance, but G. Allegri has no fear of losing his "Best Ever Setting of Psalm 50" award. Or he wouldn't have if he was still partaking in drawing breath!
Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi
Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis
Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me
Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam
Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos
