Miserere Mei | Allegri - by the Norbertines of St. Michael's Abbey (Extended Version)

Allegri's Miserere is one of the most famous and most beautiful pieces of sacred music ever composed. It is a song of great sorrow and an appeal to God's mercy: poignant at any season of Life, but especially during Lent.
Drawing from King David's lament in Psalm 50, it is a composition of great sorrow and an appeal to God's mercy: poignant at any season of Life, but especially during Lent. It explores the beauty and emotion of penance and the mystery of conversion. In this video, Fr. Edmund walks us through Allegri's technical mastery in the music, its important liturgical context, and its enduring relevance for our lives and the life of the whole Church.

The veil between Heaven and Earth is removed during this.

[@sallymetzger1708]

How does that happen?

[@gemmag.2988]

@@sallymetzger1708 It is just an expression - a way of saying that we are very lucky to hear such divinely inspired music....

[@sallymetzger1708]

I will have to try to start using this expression. Really very very lovely! Thank you!

[@Joemondale]

If you read the introduction in the Daily Roman Missal, it states that the veil is actually lifted during each and every Holy Mass. So, when this is chanted during the Eucharistic Feast, the veil is indeed lifted between Heaven and Earth. It is not just an expression in those instances. But, yes this is most certainly Divinely inspired.

[@catholicguy1073]

I wish this was in all the parishes around the world

Write your bishop or priest to request traditional liturgical music, and tenebrae liturgies

I just want to say thank you to the people that made this video because i was praying with your song in the background to help me feel at peace then the lord answered my prayer and helped me get accepted to my dream university. So all in all thank you to the people of St. Michael's Abbey and may others be blessed and be touched by your music and by god as you and God have done for me (sorry for any grammatical errors I'm not a native speaker)

[@voz805]

Can't help noticing your Family Guy icon there. I'm surprised a Catholic would show off their admiration for that show considering it mocks Christians. I did a little research in case I didn't recall it correctly and the show is even worse toward religious people than I thought.

[@sarmanpurba6613]

Jesus bless all of christian in the world

[@user-vn5si6qs9l]

Pls forgive me o Lord and have mercy on me a sinner ❤️🙏🏼

[@vl5545]

such music elevates the spirit

[@chergui77]

Heavenly and ethereal. Gorgeous. I try to pray Psalm 51 every night as my act of penance and forgiveness (in my Catholic Bible it’s Psalm 51)….. “3 Have mercy on me, God, in accord with your merciful love; in your abundant compassion blot out my transgressions. 4 Thoroughly wash away my guilt; and from my sin cleanse me. 5 For I know my transgressions; my sin is always before me. 6 Against you, you alone have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your eyes So that you are just in your word, and without reproach in your judgment….. 9 Cleanse me [with hyssop], that I may be pure; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. 10 You will let me hear gladness and joy; the bones you have crushed will rejoice. 11 Turn away your face from my sins; blot out all my iniquities. 12 A clean heart create for me, God; renew within me a steadfast spirit. 13 Do not drive me from before your face, nor take from me your holy spirit. 14 Restore to me the gladness of your salvation; uphold me with a willing spirit….. 19 My sacrifice, O God, is a contrite spirit; a contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn.” Thank You for Your mercy, forgiveness, and compassion my Sweet Savior Jesus Christ. Amen 🙏🏼 ❤

[@The6zero4]

I cant imagine that there wasn't one of those tenors who could handle that with the famous "top C" in the second-half of the 4-voice falsobordone,

[@ewaughok]

I’m glad you had this original for a year before you posted the commented version. It’s nice to have the comments but even nicer to have the full performance. It truly is a spiritual masterpiece!

Such an amazing chant! It gives a lot of things to reflect on one own's transgressions. It is very inspiring and enligtens the spirit to examine the conscience. This Psalm is so well sung by the Norbertines.🙏❤
