Miserere Mei Deus

This piece is Psalm 51, but first set to music by Allegri around 1630. It is one of the finest and most popular examples of renaissance polyphony.
It is often heard in Churches of the apostolic Christian tradition on Ash Wednesday, immediately following Shrove (pancake) Tuesday, marking Christ's return to Jerusalem.
Beautifully performed here by The Sixteen, listen out for the simplicity, humility and reverence.

[@ioannisdeligiannis8497]

As an orthodox Christian i find yhis masterpiece beautiful, a sound close to heaven music made by angels ! I dont care about Catholic or orthodox or anything else separates us. The God is one and all we are His children and all we are sinners with a little of His grace inside of us !

it doesn't matter what religion you follow, the beauty of this piece goes beyond any belief.

[@JamesVideoCollection]

Well, it doesn't really go "beyond any belief". It's intrinsically Christian. The reality is that Christian music, at its best, conveys a beauty that connects us to the transcendent. Perhaps what you meant is that anyone can appreciate it, which is true.

This wonderful piece of music and singing is beautiful and so are the words of the Psalmist. Its about coming to God with a repentance and brokenness. Knowing full well you are a sinner and feeling the weight of your sin. Its about coming to God the father and asking for forgiveness. We are all sinners and thats why Jesus paind the price once and for allfor all humanity's sin. We can be forgiven and made right with God the father through the sacrifice of Jesus his son. Peace and blessings to you all.

He didn't actually do it with helium, it's a joke. If we assume helium made you be able to hit high notes better, nobody would still be able to control the long note like that. The helium wears off and would be impossible to keep it at the same note. It would be decreasing in pitch actually. But helium does not actually increase your vocal range whatsoever. He's completely capable of hitting that note without it, they even had some sort of documentary where they spoke about how hard it was to increase the vocal range that far high. And they perform live and he now always hits that note with no problems.

Only when society wills to accept the art, this masterpieces will be the "top charts". But, despite the joy that this brings to the life of the listeners, that isn't going to happen.

This type of choral music is part of Catholic heritage and has its roots in the Gregorian Chant renditions of the various Old Testament psalms which monks and nuns have chanted throughout the centuries, for the glory of God. I suspect few non-Catholics would have shown any interest in this type of music in the 17th and 18th centuries, especially as The Age of Enlightenment was unfolding (and some would have actively condemned it). I am glad that more and more non-Catholics are beginning to appreciate this type of music, not just for the singing, but for the actual meaning of the words.

I agree. That is why I switched to the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Anglican Communion. They are Catholic, use most of the Roman literature, including my own RSV Bible. And they have priests who are much more believable. Visit an Anglo-Catholic, and compare the speed that the Lord's Prayer, and the Hail Mary, are said. The Romans race through as if they have left the dinner on the table, and the Anglos treat it as important PRAYER. And, they use Latin, sing as well as the Choir at Westminster Cathedral. I don't regret leaving the church of my Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, and where all my family had their weddings and funerals.

Things like this are in my opinion the greatest contributions ever made to humanity inspired by religion.

[@matheusmoreira3636]

That's what real art is. A human expression to prayse not our filthy desires and sins, but the Glory of God and The Holy Church.

[@clarkyt1956]

The most beautiful and relaxing piece of music ever!!! I am not a religious person, but this makes even me consider going back to church!!

[@aliciaesparza2503]

All I can say is God bless them and their God given talents. Using it to Glorify God. Amen.

Solo la Santa chiesa cattolica Romana fondata da S.Pietro A Roma sotto l'imperatore Nerone per volere di Cristo che ha scelto Roma come centro della Cristianità può generare tanta bellezza sublime Grazie Allegri.

Lyrics: Miserere mei, Deus 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.

I'm an atheist but I love Catholic culture, and most family values. This style of music and the artistry associated to it will never be lost because of the church, so congrats! I love that the church invested so much in artists. I would like to recommend that people read about Miserere on Wikipedia and how Mozart as a child stole this song from the church as a boy and had to answer to the Pope himself! Its an excellent read.

I'm by no means a religious man, but this may be the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life.

[@sewhip]

Loving all the best things about Christianity here. Beautiful music, inspired by hope, faith and religion.

[@Goodshaft]

This is what heaven sounds like !!!!! You'll here this music in front of the pearly gates. Remember........money wont buy your way in, & you cant take money with you.

Whenever I feel guilty, I often listen to this classic. And the feelings that David felt at that time spring in my heart and It reminds me of my wickedness, that is, my sinful nature. Before God, I am a sinner. But He has saved a great sinner like me by His Holy Blood on the Cross. It has been carved in my heart and mind. Thanks to that Grace, As I lose my way toward the Heaven, My heart teaches me lessen all the time. The Lesson is that JX is the way, the Truth, and the Life. The Truth sets me free. I wish I could devote myself to The Truth. I really appreciate this song.

[@johncook4574]

This one of my favorite psalms so it was miraculous delight to my ears and my heart. The cry for forgiveness and restoration to Gods presence joins us with the heavenly choirs.
