Miserere - MacMillan - Tenebrae conducted by Nigel Short

[@altogal1]

I was in the audience for this. It was stunning. I love this piece but this particular performance knocked our socks off. The man next to me, who had never heard it before, whispered "Oh my god!" at the end. They have recorded it and I highly recommend.

[@veve3948]

I have heard other choirs sing this spectacular and spiritual piece but this one is exceptional...the phrasing is perfect..it brings the majestic quality of the music and a lot more. Tenebrae and Nigel Short is the best version.

[@samuelreisart]

Excellent performance ❤ Big fan of Tenebrae and Nigel, as all COTE members. Fond memories of working with them online ❤❤

[@UnathiGX]

I love this so much...!!

[@ngs324]

I was lucky enough to sing this in a workshop recently - not an easy piece for amateur singers but really rewarding. Thank you for recording this beautiful performance!

[@lesliesmith4300]

Oh my, such magical humility and talent!

[@dgreene3467]

This is really incredible. The skill and stamina of the choir is only matched by the beauty of their delivery. The opening of the first movement with what I believe are scale shifts are just really well executed, and they resolve their clash so harmoniously and almost completely by the end of the first movement leaving me wishing for more, and greeted by the power of the melody and unison of the 2nd movement. The third movement gives me the chills, hallowed and haunting like an echo of the past from Gregorio Allegri's Miserere mei, Deus - Allegri. I've never studied music in depth but one only needs to hear this piece after having heard Tenebrae's Miserere mei to recognize the similarities. My favorite is the soft creshendo of unison about 11 minutes in and the beautiful sweeping melodies to conclude. So worth it... Your audience was absolutely spellbound as well they should be! BRAVO! One of my new favorite pieces!

[@thetenebraechoir]

Thank you so much!

[@Frostweather]

So beautiful! Thank you for this

L ’ incarnation de la Beauté par des voix angéliques pour élever notre âme vers le divin ...

[@rolandetter]

Ich durfte bereits zwei Konzerte in der Schweiz geniessen. Freue mich jetzt schon auf das nächste. Ist Live noch beeindruckender, da die Stimmen noch mehr tragen. Balsam für Seele und Geist ❤

[@edwing71]

They will perform among others "Mother and Child" and "The Lamb" by John Tavener and "And the Swallow" by Caroline Shaw in Zürich and Genève in January 2025. I'm so sorry I can't attend these concerts, but if you can, please do! 🙂

[@cristina-yh4vu]

Wow! I listen from Romania. Wonderful !

[@Arkangel-Hells]

Gosto de Miserere Mi Dios! Cantem nesta Capela! Pois o Som ecoa divinamente

[@briane.5656]

Really well done, thank you. MacMillan is highly challenging but highly rewarding. I sang his Cantos Sagrados many years ago, and while I would not want to repeat it, I am grateful for having had the opportunity.

[@jean-luclemaitre1157]

Chapeau bas!!!

[@Sherlock_Violin]

Absolutely sensational!

[@correametal]

Simply amazing and beautiful performance! The TENEBRAE CHOIR definitely has no equal....and Nigel Short conducting is just marvelous!!!

[@thetenebraechoir]

Thank you very much!

[@andreaskoren2414]

This is pure magic. Highly complex piece. Only Tenebrae to nail it. Divine.

[@carolinemeyer7465]

such a divinely inspired performance by all...blessed beyond measure. Thank you Tenebrae Choir and Nigel Short.

[@elizabethfletcher6029]

Wonderful. I love Tenebrae and the composer. A huge privilege to work with Nigel and members of the choir when COTE recorded Spem.

[@MorenoLotto]

Io mi commuovo ogni volta che riascolto la vostra esecuzione di questo miserere.... grazie dal più profondo del cuore per il suono che create!

[@LondonRaider75]

[@nickcaddick4209]

This is just next level. What an absolutely stunning performance. Thank you! The ending of this piece always brings me to tears - and it certainly did this here.

Stunning, also piece and performance👏👏

[@vlakrunn]

What a wonderful performance

[@thetenebraechoir]

Thank you!

[@stateazure]

Absolutely love this choir, so inspiring. I tried to see if the choir had ever done the Bach chorale -Bach BWV 244-3 Herzliebster Jesu, but I couldn't find it. I hope you might consider trying this one at some point.

[@BillyBigBollocks.]

Thank you

[@jimmygove2883]

This was fantastic. Tenebrae is just wonderful stuff.

[@mangelnoah07]

[@ralfschubert6373]

Ich musste schon wieder flennen..Wenn ich diese Musik höre, bin ich in das 14.oder 15 jahrhundert versetzt und stelle mir meine Vorfahren in glänzender Rüstung vor,wie Sie Ihren Feinden auf dem Schlachtfeld gegenüber stehen.

[@DrummerboyUK1]

Wonderful performance, but G. Allegri has no fear of losing his "Best Ever Setting of Psalm 50" award. Or he wouldn't have if he was still partaking in drawing breath!

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
