GREGORIAN Miserere Mei Deus #tag: 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 (or pancake)
Tuesday, marking Christ's return to Jerusalem. Beautifully performed
here by The Sixteen, listen out for the simplicity, humility and
reverence.
