Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: What are the lyrics for Allegri’s Miserere? 'Miserere mei, Deus' during a free concert in solidarity with Notre Dame de Paris at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Read more: This candlelit rendition of Allegri’s ‘Miserere’ is a heavenly choral experience Karl Proske, former Canon of Ratisbon Cathedral, described the composer as a man whose music was imbued with his religious faith and personal sense of justice, saying Allegri was ‘a model of priestly peace and humility, a father to the poor, the consoler of captives and the forsaken, a self-sacrificing help and rescuer of suffering humanity’. As you listen to the heavenly sound of each interweaving voice, it’s fascinating to think that Allegri composed the piece for two separate choirs: one of four voices, and the other of five.Īllegri was a devout catholic, having been trained as a priest, and he worked with the Vatican’s Papal Choir right up until his death. The work itself is a sublime nine-voice setting of Psalm 51: Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misercordiuam tuam (‘Have mercy upon me, O God, after Thy great goodness’). Wonderful as the story sounds, it’s almost certainly apocryphal: it would have been highly likely that Mozart would have come across the Miserere before, given its already significant popularity in musical circles. The precocious young composer apparently scurried home and wrote down the entire work from memory.

Mozart, when he was a teenager, so the story goes, once heard Allegri’s Miserere being performed in the Sistine Chapel. What are the origins of Allegri’s Miserere – and did Mozart really transcribe it?
