The musical jewel of the Catholic Church is this choir.

That is so cute at :50 - the little boy on the orange box! This version is actually two version on top of each other. The original was much different and, when the Sistine chapel choir performed it, not only did they put in alubementi, but they had castrati on soprano and contralto!

[@pietalpha2]

thank you!

[@TheBeta80.]

MERAVIGLIOSI!

[@Ladybug9497]

Beautiful.

[@Nathan1097]

@grrrr1. It is not a myth. The last of the castrati of the Sistine Choir can be heard on a CD by Opal/Pearl called The Last Castrato. This piece was written by one of the tenors in the 1600s. However, the modern version heard here wasn't around until the 1930s, I believe. The castrati existed from about 1650 through 1870, after which only a few remained and even fewer were recorded.

@JunzaGal is the psalm 50 or in the western bible 51 - the one that starts with "have mercy on me"

[@Gullimaehn]

Gregorio Allegri would be proud of this interpretation!

[@Nathan1097]

This version is actually two version one atop the other. The original was quite different- not the least of which is because the Sistine Chapel choir was the only one to have the score AND the choir consisted of roughly 16 castrati through about 1850 which was notorious for it's alubementi.

To me this music is the last call before the death. Voices are really good :)

Truly one of the better performed top brass performance !

[@Gullimaehn]

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.

[@Toelzerfanclever]

Soloist Saul Quirke and recorded in June 1982 ?

My god this is me!

[@Gullimaehn]

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.
