- Listen to King's College Choir, free, on their website: bit.ly/kingslisten
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 TH-cam. I took out one where the cameras spent most time gazing at the stained glass windows.
The superb treble soloist has been named by a relative in a message posted here as IAN BARTER, who is now a highly successful music producer.

This is my son in law singing. He was also chosen two years running to sing the opening solo of Once in Royal David City on the Christmas BBC programme 9 lessons and carols. Only a moment's notice apparently. He has continued in the music business initially as a performer (he plays 7 instruments, I think) and is now a music producer. His initial success was getting Amy Winehouse signed and that followed working with Paloma Faith. He has worked with and produced music with many celebrated artists. His name is Ian Barter and can be found on google. He and my youngest daughter have given us three amazing grandchildren!
@TheSauce Group Definitely! He's a wonderful musician, music producer and the father of my three grandchildren. He can switch from Bach to Boogie Woogie so easily - a joy to hear!
I was a Choral Scholar from 1982-1985 and remember you son-in-law. Wonderful to hear he is doing so well!
Nice
King's College at its very best. An eternal chant that will live forever. I chose it for my partner of 40 years' plus funeral. It gave me peace.
I still return to this version on TH-cam as the best. wonderful.
That kid singing the top C is simply amazing...
And that kid is already an adult--a music producer.
What is his name? Or what name does he go by for music production
I spent a winter term in Cambridge and attended the daily evensong services sung by the young men and boys, both at St. John's College and at King's. The training of the boy trebles at these collegiate choirs is of the highest calibre and their discipline and self-control is prodigious. There is nothing like it in North America (I'm Canadian). The audition process is extremely competitive and boys who are selected are especially bright and musically precocious. They are a joy to see and hear.
My all-time favorite recording of the Miserere.
When life turns to mush and nothing seems to be going my way, this is the piece of music I turn to. It's beauty overcomes all.
+Henry Vaughan I share this sentiment; having one of those periods right now actually.
Me too..... Well, even before life gets that bad. Hope it all worked out for you Thomas.
Henry Vaughan when life turns to mush the one prayer God NEVER refuses “Come Holy Spirit”
@@carolinenorman2654 I’m no longer sure about that. At least until I accept that God or any supreme being, is within us. Only then can I find grace.
Completely agree
I am a muslim and i enjoy listening to this very much.. It's beautiful. I don't know the words meaning but i just enjoy it.
amr kardany It's actually a chapter in the book of Psalms in the Bible.-Psalm 51
+amr kardany God bless you sir.
+amr kardany I am a Christian, but when I enter a great mosque, I share.
Ted Mounsteven Well said sir.
Yup, Muslim here too, this is amazing, all you need is a heart and a keen ear to appreciate this.
Back in the early 90s I went with a group of people on a visit to Lincoln cathedral. We stayed for evensong and the choir sang this. I was sitting there in tears and I could hear several of the people behind me (including men) sniffling as well. It's so pure and clean and the way the young boy soars up to those high Cs so effortlessly at what is only piano - or at most - mezzo piano - is spine tingling.
Alas this was in the tape era and as far as I know has not been transferred to a CD.
That's one proud Father in law ✌️
By far the best version I have been privileged to hear , chills to the core
What a wonderful story. This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard in my life. Is it possible to buy the CD of this particular recording from somewhere?
@@Immortal__ See above. This was recorded in the tape era and I'm not aware of it being transferred to a CD.
@@Glycomichael
Hi Michael, thank you for that. Are there any tapes available?
Also, it seems you have removed the wonderful story from your original post!
I listened to multiple performances of this incredible piece, but this one is my absolute favorite because of Roy Goodman. Angelic voice.
In a word.. 'stunning'! The original King's recording with Roy Goodman as treble soloist is unique and given pleasure for... I don't know how long, but this is right up there with it. Thanks..
Seems like British Cathedral and College Choirs are the best in the world.
indubitably
Lord... those notes still have the power to send shivers down my spine! Brilliant work and wonderfully performed.
Have Mercy On Me, God
Have mercy on me, God
According to your great kindness
And according to the multitude of your mercies,
Erase my iniquities
Wash me completely from my iniquities
And cleanse me of my sins
For I know my iniquities
And my sins are always before me
To you alone, I have sinned
And done evil before you
That you may be fair in your speech
And justified in your judgement
Behold, I was conceived in iniquity
And in sin did my mother conceived me
Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts
And you teach me wisdom in the hidden places
Purify me with hyssop and I will be clean
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow
Let me hear your joy and gladness
And my humble bones will rejoice
Turn your face away from my sins
And erase all of my iniquities
Create in me a pure heart, oh, God,
And renew your right spirit within me
Do not turn me away from your sight,
And do not take your Holy Spirit from me
Return your gladness and salvation to me
And uphold me with a willing spirit
I will teach sinners your way
And they will be converted unto you
Save me from blood,
God, God of my salvation
My tongue will praise of your righteousness
Lord, open my lips
And my mouth will sing your glory
Because you have not desired sacrifices
For you don't delight in sacrifices, or I would do so
Nor do you desire burnt offerings
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit
A broken and humble heart
God will not despise
Do well before the Lord in your good pleasure to Zion
And build the walls of Jerusalem
Then you accept the sacrifices of righteousness
In oblations and burnt offerings
Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

Byron Gordon
Finally and in the wake of countless
prayers of His followers The Lord, God the Almighty, the all knowing,
all powerful, omnipresent and ubiquitous, omniscient and omnipotent
Creator of the Universe and the planet Earth, the SSHA (Supreme
Stickler for Heterosexual Activities) will show Himself to His
faithful simultaneously in Rome, Jerusalem, Shanghai, Washington,
New Delhi, Tokyo and Al-Qahira on June 13, 2015, at 13:13 a.m. EST in
the presence of 200,000 people and 333 radio- and TV technicians.. He
will direct Himself in the 444 major languages of the planet to
mankind and He will abduct all earth-bound communication satellites
to the effect. All technicians present and all scientists, even the
most godless ones, will confirm that such an event cannot be
explained by science, nay that such a feat is impossible to achieve
by technical means. So at long last all mankind will see and witness
and confess that God exists. It was after protracted deliberations
with faithful communication experts that the Lord decided to use
modern means of communication to spread His message of Love. He had
been saddened by the fact the last round of communications with the
help of burning bushes had been somewhat flawed because it had
basically reached only Europe and the Americas while vast parts of
Asia and the Middle East are still dominated by other religions and
„gods“. We look forward to this event with great joy and
gratefulness. Praised be The Lord.
Byron: when one truthfully repents, they are forgiven, God does not want to hear about it as in His book, it never happened, He shed His blood on the cross for all of us and the way is paved that thru Jesus Christ, we can go to the Father boldly without shame ask, and we are forgiven.
I am of Easter Othodox origins and I regard this piece of music as one of the most spiritual ever composed. Long live Christian unity>

Perhaps the greatest composition ever. Certainly the greatest offering of this one yet captured.
I am in awe, certainly, and eternally grateful. Thank you so much!
Doug Eller the boy "soloist" has the most perfect male choral voice i have yet heard , singing this amazing piece , pure chills ... ( i sang 12 years in a church choir ; soprano , alto , and bass )
True
The soprano lines are everything.
King's College Choir always has been noted for very high musical standards. The treble is wonderful, too. His voice is so pure, focused, and with only one breath-break in that long, high line. The only unbroken line that I have heard is by adult male soprano Patrick Husson with the Colmar Boys Choir School.
I just want to throw myself on the floor when I hear this and beg for forgiveness :"( Father, be mindful of our lowliness.
He loves you so unbelievably much, He is ever mindful of every aspect of your being.
@Thabiso Moyakhe
Wow. What a great heart you have. You put me to shame--in a good way.
This really is a totally stunning performance by the King's choir. This is the most definitive version you can achieve of this beautiful piece of music. And performed in the unparalled splendour of King's College Chapel, the finest architectural entity in the world.
favorite version by far
The song is asking God to 'Have Mercy on Me'. It IS beautiful. Usually heard during Lent (the Catholic time of sacrifice) and especially at the death of Christ.
I remember singing this wonderful anthem as a choir boy at St Mary Redcliffe Church in Bristol UK circa 1976 under the fantastic Choir Master Bryan Anderson (FRCO CHM LRAM). The solo was performed by Michael Trembath. Brings a tear to my eye even after all these years. Twelve years old then, now fourty eight - where has the time gone:(
The Kings College Choir is the best I've ever heard in my life. I encourage anyone who has the means to go and hear them in person.
That top C, absolutely amazing, beautiful music, sounds like angels x
I am an atheist and have no brook with religious stuff whatsoever. I can say that human voices trained and practiced on song and discipline, while producing the most beautiful sounds that anyone could possibly wish for, is extraordinary.
It always blows my mind when listening to the music, conceived and written by a master, replicated hundreds of years forward into our time; into the 21st century. That's called longevity. Absolutely astounding and breaks my heart.
Oh Lila - music that resonates with physical bodies (and that has a scientific backing) and of course I mean my body, has the most amazing feeling. Minor chords are the ones that do it! the buggers :).D minor brings me undone and I need tissues. Lovely stuff eh?
Veronica Denyer Sorry to hear you are an atheist. You(and L. Zee) will be in my Rosary intentions.
Oh Lila - let's hope not :) I actually don't care any more when people say they will pray for me. It's a waste of their time and does absolutely zilch for me. But ... whatever floats their boat, I guess. :)
***** Yes. I will.
Bigg Dee
You don't really understand humour, do you? :) Neither do you understand that to take on praying for someone who doesn't believe in any religious stuff is a fairly arrogant thing to do.
I don't ask you to do that and I would be grateful if you would please desist. If I want anything from you I will ask. But I don't so I won't.
Thank you for your understanding.
Today is the anniversary of the wonderful person whom I converted to Catholicism in La Jolla and with whom together we listened to it 2 days before her death in Hong Kong and whom I believe beyond all things!
I'm not religious in any shape or form, but this is deeply moving. It's otherworld sound inspires and humbles me in equal measure. I love churches and cathedrals and we were lucky enough to hear this sung in practice at York Minster. Stunning.
Truly moving! Vocally angelic, whatever your belief.
This is so splendid and just,stunning. A touching flush of blood rush over my body as I listen to this,though I don't quite understand the lyrics. God Bless you all!
I had the privilege of studying at King's in the early 1990s, when the choir was at one of its peaks; I estimate that I made around 500 visits to our chapel during that time.
This magical piece provides an electrifying and poignant demonstration of just how special the place is: utterly unique in its becalming atmosphere, matchless acoustic quality and sublime aesthetic allure (to none of which could a mere recording ever hope to do justice!). But then, I am perhaps a little biased! Stunning.
This is stunningly beautiful and i listen to it every night before i go to bed :) thank you so much for uploading!
I used to spend a lot of time in Kings College chapel, when I was a kid. All the boys had amazing voices. So wonderful to hear live.
this might be the best version that I've heard. the boy hit the perfect C note!! amazing!
That kid is amazing! He blows my mind when goes on that high notes.
Such a gutsy sound. the best type of choir i think there is.
these are my musical roots, and i am very thankful for choral music.
when i heard this, my eyes spontaneously brimmed with tears... is there anything that sounds more prefect ?.... .. the lead boy is exquisite.... utterly so.
All these years later and this is still my favorite Miserere recording, no question
As Cleobury says, "Treble voices soar to convey sorrow and beg forgiveness". Beautiful. Thank you.
Stunning in vocal beauty.
Wonderful ... God bless the singers!
Trovo che questo BRANO ha un'ARMONIA affascinante COME pochi altri hanno; IERI stavo male e ascoltarlo mi ha aiutato.
The Prayer God never refuses “Come Holy Spirit “
Amazing sound , brings back memories while singing at my church choir ...chills each time i hear 'the note" ...
2:04 wow, that one boy with the brown hair... it truly sounds like an angel! just... amazing how a voice can be like that!
I have memories to this song, my mom used to play it all the time when I was still little.
Utterly brilliant. I've been watching this vid from time to time for the past few years and still think it's the most haunting, spine-chilling version on the web. So the young chorister is your son-in-law?
i have to learn this song for choir, and it's just so beautiful! i'm a soprano 1 so i need to practice all the super high notes... ahha
Ooooh! I have goosebumbs when I hear to this! Amazing! I just adore that music!!!
@JwahAmore31 The clip dates back to 1987. If the youngest boys were about 12 at that time, they must be 36 now. Many of them probably still sing in some choir, somewhere ...
This is just so beautiful, I have tears flooding my eyes every time that boy hits those high notes. Thank you very much for sharing!
It dont get any better than this,the human vocie is as beautifull as this
This is heavenly!!!! The treble voice is so pure ......
that was amaaaaaaaaaaaazing! The soloist sings the high 'C' as if it takes no effort
the best version in my opinion ! splendid !
I feel the exact way. I heard it on a classical radio station today and was mesmerized!
Wunderbare Musik! Sehr fein und einfühlsam gesungen! Kompliment!
how could anyone dislike this?? This is one of the most spiritual pieces of music... ever! It was so spiritual and powerful that the pope ordered it to be locked away and only had select people perform it during 'holy week' which is what we call Easter.
It is absolutely incredible! And what's even more incredible is that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart heard this once, wrote it down and showed the world!!! Amazing!!
I think I have listened to this at least 100 times in the last 3 months.
Beautiful! Thank you for this and the fuller version too.
the most beautiful piece of music ever created. reminds me of my catholic secondary school.. we had a great school choir. stunning music
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for posting this.
Absolutely and completely beautiful. I love this piece of music.
I read all these comments from non religious people saying they love this. This sort of music goes some way to showing that God is universal, that God is not restricted to a religious context, heaven forbid it, no pun intended.
Light is universal, there are no boundaries, this is as good an example as you can get of this, it crosses all boundaries, it unifies, it uplifts, it is divine, if you don't feel something hearing this, then there must be little light in you, if any.
Thankyou for posting this. I have listened it today for, I think, 6 times by now. It is something simply gorgeous...
Thank you very, very much for posting this. I have been searching for a long time for The Kings College version.
Bless You. I will also go to your site.
Angels singing ! " Miserere mei Deus " - Merci my God ! Today I was touched by some Angel or many Angels ! I cried so convulsive !!! I'm crying already now ! I can't see the keyboard right ! Forgive my (pedados) my God ! I don'y know how i say " pecados " in English language, but my God knows !! ( I'm brazilian )
Thanks for that!! It's always great to have a name to go with these wonderfully trained and talented humble heroes.
This is one of my favorite choir songs ever- the chamber choir at my school sang this last year. Beautiful!
Un des sommets de la musique religieuse. La mélodie épouse parfaitement le sens du texte. L'interptrétation incite à l'extase !
Just breathtaking, speachless
Glorious as always.. thanks
Great video ! I've got goosebump
On the contrary. We really cannot survive without such things as this. This is the very stuff of life.
my soul..my body my heart has been deeply felt
excusme can you tell what is this? and that sound what they meaning ?
Here were are Jan 2021, having listened to many versions of this, and keep returing to this one. It has to be the best rendition.
I love this...gives me great peace.
excellent performance. Love this!
Just beautiful! Excellent control high notes crystal clear! I wish to go hear them live euouae!
I've seen it now! Thanks for posting.
my choir and I sang this every maundy thursday, i always used to be top soprano. i miss it alot
went to hear them today! beautiful
@amr kardany - I am glad you shared this music and it gave you pleasure. I am not sure it is essential that one knows the meaning of the words (though a translation is easily found on the web), but the beauty of those voices - a gift from God surely - is enough to transport us to a spiritual world.
Insperato62 i a really sorry, i forgot to reply.. and yes you are right .. i still don't want to know the words .. i know they are praying and asking god for forgiveness as we all do. but i just wanna enjoy this masterpiece as it is..
sorry again for not replying sooner.
Oh that’s amazing ❤️🥺
An absolutely beautiful piece of music. It is an inspiration every time I hear it. A sad and beautiful psalm.
OFF TOPIC!!!
Beautiful video, I keep coming back to it :)
Sublime!!! Gracias, gracias, gracias...
Gives me the chills, I love it!!
The best interpretation I have ever heard ...
Kings College chapel choir reaches the perfection.
**DR from France**
One of the greatest religious choirs of all time.Perfect voices,musical internation and interpretation of this most respected of Mozards compostions.
the top c he hits is amazing. this piece is so beautiful
Thank you very much for your tips! I've stumbled upon several gorgeous pieces of music here on youtube. It enriches my life beyond believe...
This is absolutely beautiful! I love how the soloist, who sings the plainsong, actually takes his time and sings it solemnly and with compunction. Just absolutely beautiful--especially during this time of Lent.
By far the most moving piece of music that I've ever heard and just and to read everyone's comments and the different places and areas that we come from just solidifies it as a great piece of music it brings me to tears every time I hear it likes my soul know that it's real
Absolutely amazing.
Excellent, thanks so much for letting us know!
For all those people wanting this in full: I've added instructions on how to get the full version to the description of this video above. Help yourself!
