I was lucky and privileged to do the top treble part twice around Easter, probably in 72 and 73, when I was a chorister at Peterborough Cathedral. I have to listen to only one or two bars from any part of it to be returned to my boyhood and the exhilaration of wondering whether each high note would come out cleanly. The organist, with true pragmatism, had two of us sing this highly technical part so that if one voice faltered the other would still be heard.
The notes that kid hits from 1:40-1:58 and again later pierces my soul. I think perhaps it is one of the most beautiful sounds to have ever come from a human being.
I'm not really religious but oh my god hearing this sends chills down my spine. Humans can do this, their voices can go this high and sound this mysterious and ethereal. Just imagine being in that beautiful church with all the architecture and hearing this. It's so beautiful. I could listen to this forever and never become tired of it
I’ve visited the *beautiful* church (King’s College Chapel in Cambridge England), but would love to go back and hear the amazing choir perform. You’re right, it would be absolute perfection!
PS. Believers in God who seriously mean "take back the oh my god" when the person is using it to express graditude are scaring people away from faith by your dochebaggery. Remember what happens, biblically to those who lead God's children astray? Something about a millstone, your neck, and an ocean
There's a little bit of history to this piece that still boggles my mind to this day. This piece was only ever performed in the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week and the sheet music was unavailable outside of the chapel, essentially a highly restricted piece of music. There was a 14-year old boy who was visiting Rome, and he heard this piece in the Chapel. Later that day he proceeded to TRANSCRIBE the entire song from memory, only returning to the chapel to make minor corrections to his transcription. The boy's name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He gained fame after that, being summoned by the Pope himself who proceeded to praise him for his musical genius!
@@DrumToTheBassWoop In that time it was to not be corrupted, because it was easy to change the partitures of the musics and corrupt it, changing it substantially and ruining it.
@@DrumToTheBassWoop As a catholic I absolutely understand why this was not permitted outside the Sistine Chapel. It was written by a Catholic, Gregorio Allegri, wrote it specifically for the Sistine Chapel and the Church regarded it as the most sacred piece of music ever written for the Mass.
This piece was a closely guarded secret sung just twice a year in only one place - the Sistine Chapel. That was, until a 14 year old Mozart came to visit, went away and reproduced it entirely from memory. True Story

The fact is if you go to a traditional catholic mass it will most likely resemble this, but it shouldn't matter all that much. Yes, beautiful music and a grand cathedral helps. But the real beauty comes from receiving the blessed sacrament, repenting and having the opportunity to know you are closer to God.
@@michaelswan2991 Understood. But I find that comment is easily replied to by rage bait, and by saying something random, it's more likely there won't be a reply.
I am a Muslim and I love to listen to church hymns. It relaxes my soul, I close my eyes and feel them all separately. very impressive, like a work of art
I'm a Muslim and each time me and my family play home alone part one the scene where he goes to church and this plays i always like that sound, its so beautiful, peace and love to all christian brothers and sisters.
Yeah same, I'm learning Latin and this songs meaning is so beautiful, (now before anyone's like 'mUsLiMs ArE nOt AlLoWeD tO lIsTeN tO mUsIc.' it's super controversial most of Muslims do sing and doesn't think that it's a sin, but the small fraction of people who does believe that it's a sin thinks that Muslims should only listen to music with good meanings and music that will not distract you from God (Allah) and this song were its constantly saying that forgive me, for my sins I don't find any reasons for it to be a sin! Peace and love to you all❤️
Listening to this, it's not hard to see why religion used to be more popular. Imagine having no access to recorded music, living in a wattle and daub hovel, then you go to church and experience *this* masterpiece. It's moving me to tears even over my shitty monitor speakers.
The traditional Latin mass is like this and very beautiful. If you have one in your area you should go to a Rorate mass, it will blow your mind. It starts before the sun comes up in an all candle lit church and just as the priest is saying consecration prayers the sun shines through the stain glass. It’s to represent that Jesus is the light and it’s so beautiful and done in the month of December.
The funny thing about this is, religion is now more popular then it ever was. You’re talking about Europe where Catholicism has indeed been in decline but it really depends where in Europe.
@@JOSWAY787 I’m in America and it’s pretty watered down with the modern day and age music with loud speakers. One day I’d love to travel to London or somewhere with a choir like this one :)
@@eternal_abyss7223 true, the music changes but thats just time passing on, all types of new christian churches open every day and especially for the usa, evangelism keeps growing. But you should definetely travel and If you like this, there are a lot of beautiful locations in europe with certain christian significance, think of la sagrada familia, multiple notre dame’s all over europe, Vatican city, The cathedral of cologne, Lourdes and so on.
You're both already Christian by default (and more so than many who claim to be Christian) At that time the disciples came to Jesus, asking "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” So Jesus called a child to come & stand in front of them and said "I assure you that unless you change and become like children you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child. And whoever welcomes in my name one such child as this, welcomes me." (Matt. 18 1-5 GNT) "I may be able to speak the language of men and of angels but if I have no love, my speech is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell. I may have the gift of inspired preaching, I may have all knowledge & understand all mysteries, I may have all the faith needed to move mountains, but if I have no love, I am nothing." (1 Cor. 13 1-2 GNT)
this is what it's like to be a traditional Catholic. We hear this beautiful music every Sunday in high mass. Converting from atheism to Catholicism was the best decision I ever made... for every reason.
@@hollie3897 Well, even earlier than that it was translated from ancient Hebrew I believe. Something that predates the Bible itself. The Vatican did first put it to song though and famously copied by ear by Mozart.
Uh, this song isn't really about life or death though. It's based on Psalm 51 which is about repentance to Yahweh. "Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." (Psalm 51:10-12)
I'd call this cathedral choir by standards, not the need for a cathedral choir exactly. You don't get this from your local church choir by any means. Damn I miss my days as a cathedral chorister
There is a vacuum within us which can only be filled by the divine.Dr. Carl Jung said that the "central neurosis of man is emptiness." Blaise Pascal posited there was a "vacuum in man's heart that only God can fill"; Augustine of Hippo wrote in Confessions, "Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless until it rests in Thee."
Be blessed my friend. Your comment is beautiful. Your soul has been touched, and sorry to announce it to yiou, it has been touched by the grace of God. Jesus loves you, and he wants you to find him. Search and you will find ! I see you have a Lenine picture. Lenine was worried and concerned by the poor. That is very jesus like. But Jesus did better than Lenine : he refused to resort to any kind of voilence, for in his infinite wisdom, he knows that violence only raises violence. If you are curious, jsut read a gsopel, for exampe John's Gospel. It is very short, and the most mystical/metaphysiciaal one. If you like marxist philosophy, you willa pprecaite. And then, just wonder if there is not something to dig with this man, Jesus, who was, it is incredible to say, God Himself. Sorry if my comment bothers you, it commes from the heart. Be blessed, my friend, whatever you choose to do
If you feel like a soft boiled egg's empty shell in one of those little cups and you strongly feel your emptiness, regardless of your personal philosophy, ask yourself if maybe God wants to fill you with Himself. Leave Marxism, regardless of the variety you're loyal to, and go to Eastern Orthodox church Advent services this year. I'm a convert. My church happens to be Antiochian. Get to the church early and ask someone to explain why the nave is the way it is. Stick around afterward and ask questions. We converts especially like talking about the Church. It may seem like a strange place but we've been around for a long time without changing very much. Go! Have a Blessed Christmas!
I've started medicating to "cure" my depression a few months back. Although the drugs do a wonderful job at keeping the mood swings at bay, I've since then found myself unable to cry, not one bit. Whether it be from joy or sadness, not a single tear. Hearing this for the first time, and the floodgates reopened like never before. I'm not religious at all, but this definitely hits home, and above all, gives me hope. Thanks for this gift.

LYRICS: 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. Source: Musixmatch English translation This translation is from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and is used in Ivor Atkins' English edition of the Miserere (published by Novello): Have mercy upon me, O God: after Thy great goodness. According to the multitude of Thy mercies, do away mine offences. Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged. Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me. But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds. Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. O give me the comfort of Thy help again: and stablish me with Thy free Spirit. Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew [show] Thy praise. For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise. O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar.
Honestly, it is in a sense a piece of heaven on earth. A thin shadow of it. But God created creators. He gave us creativity, beauty, art, music. In heaven the choirs sing his praises every moment of every day. Just imagine what we will see and hear when we are fully there.
it doesn't matter if you have a religion or not. yes, it's a church choir, but it's also an art. Music is universal. Not having the same opinion can't stop you from listening to this art.
This isn't "universal music," it's the music of the Holy Catholic Church. You can listen, you can appreciate the aesthetics, but you can't really understand it on a deeper, more meaningful level.
i mean, some people say : "I can't listen to this cuz I'm an atheist, buddhist bla bla bla" what does it matter? u can listen to this even if u have a no religion. but u alright if u are a christian you can feel more sensitive...
Music like this resounds in all. While it is a prayer, it is also a work of art. While some may not appreciate it as much as others, the sheer beauty that underlies this piece is largely evident, nonetheless.
Regardless of what the actual meaning is and why this song is delivered, it is absolutely stunning. I'm sure many of us atheists stumbled upon this out of curiosity or by accident and it moves us all. I'm really happy that religion and devotion has brought us to creating things like this!
I cannot fathom hearing this, one of the most beautiful compositions ever created, in a cathedral such as this. The music must just go through you and change your DNA at this level

This changed the face of music forever when it was first sung in 1632. Revolutionary on many levels. Nobody had heard anything like it. Once in a while, a composition comes along and points to the future, and this was one of them.
I had a recording of this played at my husband's funeral. Glorious music. I still get goosebumps when the young treble hits the high note. I believe the Church once kept this music's notation a guarded secret, but the child Mozart attended Mass with his father, heard this divine piece, went home and transcribed it note for note. A secret no more. No accounting for genius.
I think this story isnt confirmed right ? Check out the page on wikipedia. Theres only one source of this story that being letter that contained many contradictory statements. Doubts are cast on it. It is said it was very frequently and commonly performed at many places in london at that time.

I don't think anyone cares if you're religious or not, just listen to this beautiful piece of music. It's what music is for, to be enjoyed. Not to be argued over.
Mmmm very nice message, but wrong. The goal of this music is not aesthetic but rather spiritual and pastoral. It was not written “to be enjoyed”, as modern music is, but to glorify God and to pray.
Darren Lustre actually yes they have and there called “adhans” you should look them up! There are also really beautiful and powerful along with this amazing song too!
There is a feeling which is hidden in the deepest bottom in my heart revealed itself when I heard the that sound. A grief pain agony relief covered my body
The founder of the Chapel, King Henry VI, was murdered in the Tower of London in 1471. The Tudor Kings Henry VII and Henry VIII completed the Chapel in the early 16th Century. The Chapel has a very eventful history, but is completely intact, including all the 16th Century stained glass windows. Walking in the Chapel is like walking back in time, so you're probably picking up on all of that.
The music is based off of Psalms 51! King David is crying to God, because he has sinned. He feels ashamed for putting his best friend on the front line. He did this so his best friend would die and King David could be with his best friends wife Bathsheba. I would love to have this sung at my funeral mass.
One of my favourite things about this piece, outside of being stunning, is originally, this piece was not to be sung outside of the Vatican. However, when Mozart travelled to hear it, he went home and transcribed the whole lot by memory and that is how we have access to it today.
As a Muslim, I hold unconditional love for every human being, rooted in compassion and unity. I find profound peace and spiritual depth in music, especially classical and choir compositions, or any melodies that evoke tranquility and elevate the soul.
Good day to you. As a Christian I also find the calls to prayer, the Azan, from the Mosque bringing me closer to God although I may not know the Arabic recitation of the Quran. I did attend an Islamic high school in South Africa, met and am still in touch with some of my good friends there, it helped me understand the religion a bit more. There are more commonalities that people and the media may perceive. The most important one being our mutual love of God. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.
On the contrary, sharing spiritual experiences enhances love and understanding among people. When we talk about what gives us inner peace, whether it’s the call to prayer, music, or any other experience, we open the door to dialogue and human connection based on respect and love.. thanks for your comment anyway @@bnouadam
I'll never forget when I first heard this sung at mass and it was a cathedral church. The acoustics of that church were phenomenal. The high C note would just send chills down your spine if you ever have the opportunity to hear this in a cathedral. Beautiful masterpiece

This sound echoing across the Kings College Chapel must have sounded epic to hear live. Its incredibly haunting looking at the images of the inside of the chapel and the period of history relative to its phases of construction. So much blood lost in that period of Henry VI whos father was king at Agincourt, towards the end of the hundred years war , the wars of the Roses through to the reign of Henry VIII , Dissolution and the Protestant Reformation. Also a peak in english gothic architecture when the perpendicular was at its most beautiful
Nice contextualization, thank you. Just one detail: protestant revolution, not reformation. Not the mother of all heresies, but definitely the most promiscuous one.
Sacred music is forever one of my favorites. The gregorian chants and the mysticism behind the music is so heart warming. As a catholic I truly feel closer to the god I believe.
Oh my god. When I was a small child I think I must have heard this piece of music, and I remember hearing that angelic part around 1:40 in my head at various occasions when I was a kid (basically like an auditory hallucination, which I've never been prone to otherwise). I've be waiting for years to hear this again so I could confirm that I hadn't come up with it myself as a child haha. I'm not a religious person, but that specific part of this piece is transcendent. That, and "angelic" are the only words that seem appropriate to describe it
Pause at 1:15. Helium boy you're looking for is pretty much directly behind (a smidge to the left) the younger kid with glasses who's singing that really high bit :)
The way this brings me to a state of Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, and Supplication, is proof that the discipline of the faith of the Catholic Church is Living inspiration of the a Holy Spirit.

Because Religion is bullshit, and the language we created helps us to communicate and survive.But if you want to try to explain the universe a beautiful melody can explain it better then any language on this planet.
The most exquisite and elite choir in the world. Had the privilege of getting inside the Chapel at Easter (2024) for a BBC concert conducted by the amazing Director of Music at Kings, Daniel Hyde. These guys are another level of vocal brilliance.
Truly a fabulous sound, one of the most moving experiences of my life to be in Kings College Chapel to hear it live. With or without faith this cannot fail to send shivers down your spine.
You sang this? 3-year old me when I was in idk, a temple heared a song(not this one) and my weak emotions kicked into reaction. I can't imagine what this song can do to a young kid's emotions
What an incredible musical piece, especially the vocals. Truly spiritual, angelic, mystical and haunting. One of the most spectacular musical pieces I've ever heard. Truly magnificent.
Psalms 51 is such a powerful chapter.. knowing now what I know about death and how it can happen any second, I’ll forever cling to this chapter. I’m so glad I bumped into this video, this song. ❤

I can't believe I came across this beautiful masterpiece because of a meme... words cannot describe how amazing this performance is
Me too lol
Edit: it's impressive they can actually hit the high note without helium
What meme?
I was lucky and privileged to do the top treble part twice around Easter, probably in 72 and 73, when I was a chorister at Peterborough Cathedral. I have to listen to only one or two bars from any part of it to be returned to my boyhood and the exhilaration of wondering whether each high note would come out cleanly. The organist, with true pragmatism, had two of us sing this highly technical part so that if one voice faltered the other would still be heard.

This song, based on Psalm 51, is sung just so beautifully in harmony by the whole choir. They sound like angels.
May God Bless Them! ❤🙏🏼

There's a little bit of history to this piece that still boggles my mind to this day.
This piece was only ever performed in the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week and the sheet music was unavailable outside of the chapel, essentially a highly restricted piece of music. There was a 14-year old boy who was visiting Rome, and he heard this piece in the Chapel. Later that day he proceeded to TRANSCRIBE the entire song from memory, only returning to the chapel to make minor corrections to his transcription. The boy's name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He gained fame after that, being summoned by the Pope himself who proceeded to praise him for his musical genius!
Tommy Holt music should never be under lock and key. 😕
@@DrumToTheBassWoop In that time it was to not be corrupted, because it was easy to change the partitures of the musics and corrupt it, changing it substantially and ruining it.
@@DrumToTheBassWoop As a catholic I absolutely understand why this was not permitted outside the Sistine Chapel. It was written by a Catholic, Gregorio Allegri, wrote it specifically for the Sistine Chapel and the Church regarded it as the most sacred piece of music ever written for the Mass.
Mozart the prodigy.
And he was a Freemason!
I am a Buddhist. This is such a beautiful song. I hope everyone find peace at some point in their life.

This piece was a closely guarded secret sung just twice a year in only one place - the Sistine Chapel. That was, until a 14 year old Mozart came to visit, went away and reproduced it entirely from memory. True Story
500 years later it was posted on youtube and now literally anyone in the world can actually listen to it
1000 years later no one listens to it anymore

(Clarifications made) Translation from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer
Psalm 51 (v.1-3 v.16-19)
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum Have mercy upon me, God, after
magnam misericordiam tuam thy great goodness
et secundum multitudinem and according to the multitude
miserationum tuarum of thy mercies
dele iniquitatem meam do away mine offences
Amplius lava me Wash me throughly
ab iniquitate mea from my wickedness
et a peccato meo munda me and from my sin cleanse me
Quoniam, iniquitatem meam For, my faults
ego cognosco et peccatum meum I acknowledge and my sin
contra me est semper is before me always
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium For if thou desirest sacrifice
dedissem utique holocaustis I would offer burnt offerings
non delectaberis (but) thou delightest not
Sacrificium Deo The sacrifice of God
spiritus contribulatus is a troubled spirit
cor contritum et humiliatum, a heart contrite and broken,
Deus, non despicies God, thou shalt not despise
Benigne fac, Domine, Benignly act, Lord,
in bona voluntate tua Sion in thy good will unto Sion
ut aedificentur muri Jerusalem (re)build the walls of Jerusalem
Tunc acceptabis Then shalt thou accept
sacrificium justitiae righteous sacrifice
oblationes et holocausta with oblations & burnt offerings
tunc imponent then shalt they offer
super altare tuum vitulos on thy altar young bullocks
I agree
family doesnt need to understand. If this is what attracts your soul then this is for you to enjoy.

The fact is if you go to a traditional catholic mass it will most likely resemble this, but it shouldn't matter all that much. Yes, beautiful music and a grand cathedral helps. But the real beauty comes from receiving the blessed sacrament, repenting and having the opportunity to know you are closer to God.

@@lukmanheriardiansyah3813 Yup choir and classical music area blessing!
Listening to this, it's not hard to see why religion used to be more popular. Imagine having no access to recorded music, living in a wattle and daub hovel, then you go to church and experience *this* masterpiece. It's moving me to tears even over my shitty monitor speakers.
The traditional Latin mass is like this and very beautiful. If you have one in your area you should go to a Rorate mass, it will blow your mind. It starts before the sun comes up in an all candle lit church and just as the priest is saying consecration prayers the sun shines through the stain glass. It’s to represent that Jesus is the light and it’s so beautiful and done in the month of December.
The funny thing about this is, religion is now more popular then it ever was. You’re talking about Europe where Catholicism has indeed been in decline but it really depends where in Europe.

You're both already Christian by default (and
more so than many who claim to be Christian)
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, asking
"Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?”
So Jesus called a child to come & stand in front
of them and said "I assure you that unless you
change and become like children you will never
enter the Kingdom of heaven. The greatest in
the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles
himself and becomes like this child. And whoever
welcomes in my name one such child as this,
welcomes me." (Matt. 18 1-5 GNT)
"I may be able to speak the language of men
and of angels but if I have no love, my speech
is no more than a noisy gong or a clanging bell.
I may have the gift of inspired preaching,
I may have all knowledge & understand all mysteries,
I may have all the faith needed to move mountains,
but if I have no love, I am nothing." (1 Cor. 13 1-2 GNT)

Welcome to the beauty of Christianity my brother
There is a vacuum within us which can only be filled by the divine.Dr. Carl Jung said that the "central neurosis of man is emptiness." Blaise Pascal posited there was a "vacuum in man's heart that only God can fill"; Augustine of Hippo wrote in Confessions, "Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless until it rests in Thee."
Be blessed my friend. Your comment is beautiful. Your soul has been touched, and sorry to announce it to yiou, it has been touched by the grace of God.
Jesus loves you, and he wants you to find him. Search and you will find !
I see you have a Lenine picture. Lenine was worried and concerned by the poor. That is very jesus like. But Jesus did better than Lenine : he refused to resort to any kind of voilence, for in his infinite wisdom, he knows that violence only raises violence. If you are curious, jsut read a gsopel, for exampe John's Gospel. It is very short, and the most mystical/metaphysiciaal one. If you like marxist philosophy, you willa pprecaite. And then, just wonder if there is not something to dig with this man, Jesus, who was, it is incredible to say, God Himself.
Sorry if my comment bothers you, it commes from the heart. Be blessed, my friend, whatever you choose to do
If you feel like a soft boiled egg's empty shell in one of those little cups and you strongly feel your emptiness, regardless of your personal philosophy, ask yourself if maybe God wants to fill you with Himself.
Leave Marxism, regardless of the variety you're loyal to, and go to Eastern Orthodox church Advent services this year. I'm a convert. My church happens to be Antiochian. Get to the church early and ask someone to explain why the nave is the way it is. Stick around afterward and ask questions. We converts especially like talking about the Church.
It may seem like a strange place but we've been around for a long time without changing very much. Go!
Have a Blessed Christmas!
I've started medicating to "cure" my depression a few months back. Although the drugs do a wonderful job at keeping the mood swings at bay, I've since then found myself unable to cry, not one bit. Whether it be from joy or sadness, not a single tear. Hearing this for the first time, and the floodgates reopened like never before. I'm not religious at all, but this definitely hits home, and above all, gives me hope. Thanks for this gift.
Tears clean out your heart in a way, I think. We rarely get a chance to let that happen nowadays, but it matters.
There’s divinity inside all of us my friend. We’re much more than it may seem. Wishing you well

LYRICS:
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.

English translation
This translation is from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and is used in Ivor Atkins' English edition of the Miserere (published by Novello):
Have mercy upon me, O God: after Thy great goodness.
According to the multitude of Thy mercies, do away mine offences.
Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged.
Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds.
Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
O give me the comfort of Thy help again: and stablish me with Thy free Spirit.
Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew [show] Thy praise.
For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise.
O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar.

Dear Sally, please familiarise yourself with Christianity.
Honestly, it is in a sense a piece of heaven on earth. A thin shadow of it. But God created creators. He gave us creativity, beauty, art, music. In heaven the choirs sing his praises every moment of every day. Just imagine what we will see and hear when we are fully there.
As a Muslim I agree all religion is beautiful when you pay attention to it !!(:
it doesn't matter if you have a religion or not. yes, it's a church choir, but it's also an art. Music is universal. Not having the same opinion can't stop you from listening to this art.
This isn't "universal music," it's the music of the Holy Catholic Church. You can listen, you can appreciate the aesthetics, but you can't really understand it on a deeper, more meaningful level.
i mean, some people say : "I can't listen to this cuz I'm an atheist, buddhist bla bla bla" what does it matter? u can listen to this even if u have a no religion. but u alright if u are a christian you can feel more sensitive...
Music like this resounds in all. While it is a prayer, it is also a work of art. While some may not appreciate it as much as others, the sheer beauty that underlies this piece is largely evident, nonetheless.
@@johnperrotta5965 you will never understand Jesus or the father with that attitude

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 occula sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi
Asperges me hyssopo, 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 projicias 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 dedectaberis
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus : cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion : ut ædificentur muri Jerusalem
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos
[English]
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness
In your great tenderness wipe away my faults;
Wash me clean of my guilt, purify me from my sin
For I am well aware of my faults, I have my sin constantly in mind
Having sinned against none other than you, having done what you regard as wrong. You are just when you pass sentence on me, blameless when you give judgment
You know I was born guilty, a sinner from the moment of conception
Yet, since you love sincerity of heart, teach me the secrets of wisdom
Purify me with hyssop until I am clean; wash me until I am whiter than snow
Instill some joy and gladness into me, let the bones you have crushed rejoice again
Hide your face from my sins, wipe out all my guilt
God, create a clean heart in me, put into me a new and constant spirit
Do not banish me from your presence, do not deprive me of your holy spirit
Be my saviour again, renew my joy, keep my spirit steady and willing;
And I shall teach transgressors the way to you, and to you the sinners will return
Save me from death, God my saviour, and my tongue will acclaim your righteousness;
Lord, open my lips, and my mouoth will speak out your praise
Sacrifice gives you no pleasure, were I to offer holocaust, you would not have it
My sacrifice is this broken spirit, you will not scorn this crushed and broken heart
Show your favour graciously to Zion, rebuild the walls of Jerusalem
Then there will be proper sacrifice to please you - holocaust and whole oblation - and young bulls to be offered on your altar
Helpful
Thats a great mix from king David psalms and praise the lord!
Thank you .
Thank you May God bless you 🕆
Holocaust?
This changed the face of music forever when it was first sung in 1632. Revolutionary on many levels. Nobody had heard anything like it. Once in a while, a composition comes along and points to the future, and this was one of them.
explain how and why ?
Lol that comment was made 2 years ago and you're practically asking for an essay! 😆
Seth Alesna hahahaha true
you could always search the name and look at its history on wikipedia you know lol
Lovely.
I had a recording of this played at my husband's funeral. Glorious music. I still get goosebumps when the young treble hits the high note. I believe the Church once kept this music's notation a guarded secret, but the child Mozart attended Mass with his father, heard this divine piece, went home and transcribed it note for note. A secret no more. No accounting for genius.
I’m sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻
I think this story isnt confirmed right ? Check out the page on wikipedia. Theres only one source of this story that being letter that contained many contradictory statements. Doubts are cast on it.
It is said it was very frequently and commonly performed at many places in london at that time.
I'm so sorry for your loss💔❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I listened to this many many times over the course of a few years and I can not not tear up when listening. Thank you for this.
'Miserere mei, Deus' Original Latin Lyrics
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.
'Miserere mei, Deus' English Translation
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy.
According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies remove my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin.
I knowingly confess my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned, and done evil before Thee: that they may be justified in Thy sayings, and might they overcome when I am judged.
But behold, I was formed in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, Thou desirest truth in my innermost being: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, make me whiter than snow.
Open my ears and make me hear of joy and gladness: and my bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away Thy face from my sins: and remember not all my misdeeds.
Create in me a clean heart, O God: and make anew a righteous spirit within my body.
Do not cast me away from Thy presence: and take not Thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
I will teach those that are unjust Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips: and my mouth shall spring forth Thy praise.
For Thou desirest no sacrifice, where others would: with burnt offerings Thou wilt not be delighted.
Sacrifices of God are broken spirits: dejected and contrite hearts, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
Deal favorably, O Lord, in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with small and large burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon your altar.
..this man deserves some respect. Even if he copy and pasted it.
Thank you for the words and translation
Oh man I wish they play such kinda of music in churches today
Again I think they are singing Psalm
this comment is so under liked!!
I don't think anyone cares if you're religious or not, just listen to this beautiful piece of music. It's what music is for, to be enjoyed. Not to be argued over.
Same
Seb Weatherill and without the religion it wouldn't have been created either
I agree 100%
I disagree
Mmmm very nice message, but wrong. The goal of this music is not aesthetic but rather spiritual and pastoral. It was not written “to be enjoyed”, as modern music is, but to glorify God and to pray.
I am not religious myself but this is an example of the beauty faith has brought forth: music and astonishing churches/cathedrals/abbeys etc.
Music far proceeds religion ;)
I'm muslim and I'm really enjoying this😉
This is more on european culture than religion. Islam has never produced music with similar power and appeal.
Darren Lustre actually yes they have and there called “adhans” you should look them up! There are also really beautiful and powerful along with this amazing song too!
Okay? Good for you? Who fucking cares.
There is a feeling which is hidden in the deepest bottom in my heart revealed itself when I heard the that sound. A grief pain agony relief covered my body
Its like something I've heard before far away but yet so close. THis is it.
DUDE I JUST REALISED I CAN SING THE HIGH PICH PART
What a beautiful building. Gives me chills. There's something haunting about it.
The founder of the Chapel, King Henry VI, was murdered in the Tower of London in 1471. The Tudor Kings Henry VII and Henry VIII completed the Chapel in the early 16th Century. The Chapel has a very eventful history, but is completely intact, including all the 16th Century stained glass windows. Walking in the Chapel is like walking back in time, so you're probably picking up on all of that.
Same here. It's so beautiful. I need to see it.
ds1868 i know this is late but where is this
I have the same thought it just feels like there is a presence but you can't put your finger on it and it feels like you're being judged
Cole Snellgrove would like to walk around it at night no lights tour. I always wanted to do that in a big cathedral.
The music is based off of Psalms 51! King David is crying to God, because he has sinned. He feels ashamed for putting his best friend on the front line. He did this so his best friend would die and King David could be with his best friends wife Bathsheba. I would love to have this sung at my funeral mass.
It wasnt his best friend.it was a soldier in his army.
Nelly- you are correct!
Maybe it's based on mythical gods. Zeus is morning the death of posideon
@@NellyBlack91 he's one of his friend tho
why are you king david-
One of my favourite things about this piece, outside of being stunning, is originally, this piece was not to be sung outside of the Vatican. However, when Mozart travelled to hear it, he went home and transcribed the whole lot by memory and that is how we have access to it today.
Ben Kidd 👏 that Wolfgang dude was a badass when he was like 15 😂
What a mad lad
It was Mozart's biggest regret.
Cody copeland why?
This is true. Kept secret for 200 years.
As a Muslim, I hold unconditional love for every human being, rooted in compassion and unity. I find profound peace and spiritual depth in music, especially classical and choir compositions, or any melodies that evoke tranquility and elevate the soul.
Good day to you. As a Christian I also find the calls to prayer, the Azan, from the Mosque bringing me closer to God although I may not know the Arabic recitation of the Quran. I did attend an Islamic high school in South Africa, met and am still in touch with some of my good friends there, it helped me understand the religion a bit more. There are more commonalities that people and the media may perceive. The most important one being our mutual love of God. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah, and His blessings.
You dont need to tell your faith to appreActuallt. Please withdraw that comment
On the contrary, sharing spiritual experiences enhances love and understanding among people. When we talk about what gives us inner peace, whether it’s the call to prayer, music, or any other experience, we open the door to dialogue and human connection based on respect and love.. thanks for your comment anyway
@@bnouadam
@@subject_7 A wonderful experience, showing how spiritual sounds can touch hearts and bring us closer to God, no matter the differences.
I'll never forget when I first heard this sung at mass and it was a cathedral church. The acoustics of that church were phenomenal. The high C note would just send chills down your spine if you ever have the opportunity to hear this in a cathedral. Beautiful masterpiece
The voices...dear God I can't help but shut my eyes. Heavenly music
That boys voice at 1:40 , soooo beautiful.
nah its actually unfathomably unbelievable how high his voice can go

@@Hasansezgin1 do not worry about this man. He is insignificant and weak
This sound echoing across the Kings College Chapel must have sounded epic to hear live. Its incredibly haunting looking at the images of the inside of the chapel and the period of history relative to its phases of construction. So much blood lost in that period of Henry VI whos father was king at Agincourt, towards the end of the hundred years war , the wars of the Roses through to the reign of Henry VIII , Dissolution and the Protestant Reformation. Also a peak in english gothic architecture when the perpendicular was at its most beautiful
Nice contextualization, thank you. Just one detail: protestant revolution, not reformation. Not the mother of all heresies, but definitely the most promiscuous one.
Sacred music is forever one of my favorites. The gregorian chants and the mysticism behind the music is so heart warming. As a catholic I truly feel closer to the god I believe.
This song is so beautiful, I thank God for bringing me here now. It was really a blessing to listen to these voices.

Oh my god. When I was a small child I think I must have heard this piece of music, and I remember hearing that angelic part around 1:40 in my head at various occasions when I was a kid (basically like an auditory hallucination, which I've never been prone to otherwise). I've be waiting for years to hear this again so I could confirm that I hadn't come up with it myself as a child haha. I'm not a religious person, but that specific part of this piece is transcendent. That, and "angelic" are the only words that seem appropriate to describe it
Tom Meakin same, besides that vine I remember hearing it somewhere else
I swear i have heard it before, and i am not eaven religious. It is just so so beautiful!
I can relate so bad. I love it.
Tom Meakin thank you for not disrespecting people’s religions- from a chirtstan
Wasn't this song in the church scene in Home Alone?
I used earphones to hearing this and it's more beautiful and peaceful.
One of England's greatest ecclesiastical buildings with incomparable choral music.
No matter what instruments exist in the world the voice will always be number one.

I totally agree with you
me too
Not my voice!
you forgot about the kazoo.

man...I wanted to see the kid singing the high part...but every time he sang it they just filmed the ceiling?!?
Hahahaha so true!
Pause at 1:15. Helium boy you're looking for is pretty much directly behind (a smidge to the left) the younger kid with glasses who's singing that really high bit :)

It’s incredible what the human voice can compose. Especially considering most of these boys are under 18.
Old comment but that's exactly why they are so young
Testosterone kills your vocal ability lol
That's WHY they're boys under 18. And it's why castrati existed; boys who were castrated to prevent puberty and preserve their voices.
if you do vocal coaching before your voice drops, you can be trained to keep the higher vocal range, no need for surgery
@@elmerandrewcrowley2822 doesn't it also has to do with your vocal cords' thickness which changes during puberty (corr. if wrong obv.)? And if so would training really be able to negate these effects?
@@accannam1681 checkout counter tenors :) e.g dimash is a pretty known one. It's no guarantee with vocal training but it can prevent that. Actually castrati sounded pretty bad In comparison to some counter tenors !

Liturgical music is the greatest glory of European choral culture.
so true.
It sounds as I'm in heaven and entering the gates seeing the wounds in the palms of Jesus as he shows them to our Father God and says by my wounds he is saved and I fall and worship him at his feet and cast my crown down before him and know I am at peace forever more not to be worried with what used to bourdon my soul. Thank you Jesus for considering us and giving your life for us sinners. Thank you for bridging that void between us and the Father. Do with me as you must Lord, mold me in the way you see fit and place me in your will, not mine but yours.

Because Religion is bullshit, and the language we created helps us to communicate and survive.But if you want to try to explain the universe a beautiful melody can explain it better then any language on this planet.
Maybe you feel like crying because the culture that built this art is quickly eroding away.
The most exquisite and elite choir in the world. Had the privilege of getting inside the Chapel at Easter (2024) for a BBC concert conducted by the amazing Director of Music at Kings, Daniel Hyde. These guys are another level of vocal brilliance.
Truly a fabulous sound, one of the most moving experiences of my life to be in Kings College Chapel to hear it live. With or without faith this cannot fail to send shivers down your spine.
I remember singing this when i was in a church choir. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up still 30 years later.
You sang this?
