Tallis Scholars - Allegri: Miserere

- In February 1994 Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars performed on the 400th anniversary of the death of Palestrina in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, where Palestrina had trained as a choirboy and later worked as Maestro di Cappella.
Background story of the choral piece and church holding this performance. Understand this composition was banned from being published and that choral groups passed the score to the next group to perform. Mozart, when an early teenager, heard a performance within the Sistine Chapel. He went back to his lodging and wrote it down from memory, all 12+ minutes for all singers!! He went back to another performance in the Sistine later that week and found, "no adjustments needed"!! This major church in Rome was built based on a dream by an early pope who had a dream that an angel spoke "Build a church where it will snow tomorrow".! Well this was early August in Rome where snow is unknown in August!! Well it did and this church was built in the late 400's AD!! Ain't history amazing???
That is a prime example for the human voice being the most beautiful and powerful instrument we have. What a divine rendition of Allegri’s masterpiece ❤ I’m in total awe.
This is the most amazing piece of music I have ever heard! The high C just sends shivers down my spine. I must have heard it over a hundred times by now, and every time is just like the first time. It is like the first kiss................ just incredible
How does she produce that wonderful sound!
This was a blast from the past for me. I was fortunate to be at that concert in Rome. An amazing acoustic and an incredible performance as ever from the Tallis Scholars. An experience I will always cherish.

sang this with my college choir 3 years ago. A truly humbling experience to sing something composed over 400 years ago. This performance is proof that the arts are important. Stunning
The most beautiful THING my ears have come across in my years of living. It is safe to assume that this is what Angels sound like.
I kept hearing this on classic fm. I struggled to find it as I kept missing what it is called.I lost my faith years ago. This brings me back to god.
This Tallis Scholars's performance is not only beautiful but further ethereal. I cannot find words on this profound sound.
the soprano Deborah Roberts is really in a different class by herself. one of the, if not the best I heard until now.
Heard any better yet? Her voice is positively fascinating, with a distinctive chime at the end of notes held in her mid to upper register.
Quite magical.
Tallis Scholars sang this yesterday in Sydney (City Recital Hall) words can't express the beauty & perfection of the performance.
Peter Phillips body of work places him among the greats. I shudder to think without Peter's work, I would have never heard most of the great masters work through the ages. Please return to Saint Peter in Chains in Cincinnati soon.
A flying lawnmower brought me here, what a beautiful performance, so calming and enjoyable to listen to!
There is no need to be upset :)
Oh my god.... same here ;) I had the tab opened for 10 minutes, then shazamed it to add it to my list.
My jimmies are not rustled anymore.
yo same tho
Masterpiece!
I am shivering with tears on my eyes!
Absolutely breathtaking!
Dit is n,m.m. de beste uitvoering van Allegri's Miserere. The Tallis Scholars zingen prachtig zoals altijd. Wat een vakmanschap.
truly brings chills. unbelievable. are they not the most beautiful voices alive? And this is where Paliestrina himself sang? this is on youtube. trying to let that sink in. thank you, hardly able to say it: Kees de Jong.
The most beautiful things humanity is capable of is often done in numbers. We were designed to work that way but we're often to busy committing the atrocities to notice
God bless the high note and it's purity I was nauseated from overwork and this cleared that up enough for me to make my way home
This is my favorite version
this literally needs to never be forgotten!!!
300+ years and still going strong. Not bad
The soprano line in this piece has always sent chills down my spine. So pure.
One of my all-time favourite pieces of music and one of my favourite versions (love the Tallis Scholars). I can listen to this over and over and never get bored of it
I discovered the Tallis Scholars years ago when I went in search of any remaining Castrotti singers. I was told if they did there might be one or two having been with the Scholars. The man with the high falsetto would be him, no vibrato. Maybe, but doubtful, either way incredible.
No, he's 'just' a Counter Tenor surely! Beautiful voice! I'd like to hear him solo>
The Tallis Scholars perform with such professionalism and precision that it's a truly divine experience watching them perform with what looks like "such ease"!
Was a chorister for Exeter Cathedral until this year. This was always one of my favourites. Going to miss it.
Classical music will never die because of people like us who listen to it, appreciate it and those others who are blessed with the talent to perform it. This is a beautiful piece and a wonderful performance by the Tallis Scholars.
I've been looking for this for months without knowing the name of the composition of the performers. I back-tracked my memory and found the forum thread where I originally saw it posted. I am so thankful I was able to track it down. The use of the room acoustics and the pitch-perfect singers make for an absolutely stunning twelve minutes. Thank you for posting this!
Omg same and I am a singer! I could only remember the soprano refrain!! Finally found it by digging through my music brain and having the soprano descant as an earworm for three weeks!
This music will forever be a part of My Soul
In Europe, when women were not permitted to sing in church or cathedral choirs in the Roman Catholic Church, boys might be castrated to prevent their voices breaking at puberty and to develop a special high voice. The first documents mentioning castrati are Italian church records from the 1550s. In the baroque and classical music eras these singers were highly appreciated Allegri's Miserere and other famous pieces from this period now sung by sopranos and countertenors were written for castrati.
Shhh
No tears
Only dreams now
I saw the Tallis Scholars at Duke a few years ago. It was like having an out of body experience. Words do not exist to describe their ethereal beauty.
I've watched some great singing, and I sing in a choir myself, but that high riff is just exquisite beyond words. Tears in my eyes time.
Lenten music - good any time of the year. Thank Mozart for his talent of bringing it to the masses. I've been to Santa Maria Maggiore. I wish that I could have heard this performance; for two choirs, beautifully presented; great tonal quality as mentioned by Rodna. The sound of angels(for us) - Lord have mercy on us. Our God is a gentle One. I am grateful! , eternally.
One of the many Mozart myths, like the one about him being buried in a pauper’s grave.
No tears, only dreams now..
this is some of the most beautiful piece of music i've ever heard..!!!
Literally, out of this world. Lovely to see such magnificent sound produced by so few singers, rather than a massed choir.
Truly Celestial. An angelic performance. Thank you for sharing.
Listened to full version many times. Still get goos bumps.
This music does not inspire my soul. It is my soul. Thank you, God, for giving this to us through Allegri.
Sid Meier's Civilization IV (2005) brought me here. Pretty sure this exact group did the version they used for that game. Anyone who played that game a ton will appreciate that no other performance of this masterpiece on RUclips hits the ear quite the same...
Impeccable performance accentuated by impeccable acoustics! Truly other-worldly.
Interesting comments, spqa2004. Return to the level of faith that inspired this beautiful music and these concerns would go away because there would be more families and more pro-creation. Is it too late for this era? It's hard to tell but the world has been through many bumps since this piece was composed and here we are enjoying it. I am thankful just to have heard it, and I hope to sing it someday with my church choir.
No words, No hay palabras
Cette oeuvre est magnifique,et l'interprétation extraordinaire. La sensibilité, la justesse, la précision, le tempo, les silences sont absolument parfaits. Merci aux Tallis Scholars et à tous ceux qui ont eu l'initiative de ce concert et de sa diffusion. (Dommage que cela soit coupé avant les applaudissements, pour moi, cela fait partie du concert et c'est nécessaire.)
Amazing and spectacular. What beautiful voices these people have.
My mother discovered this to me an hour ago. I'm listening and seeing this for the fifth time, at the office. I can't almost repress my tears...
Heavenly! Never tier hearing this up lifting and stirring rendering of the soul.
這不是人間的聲音，這簡直是天樂：beautiful beyond human comprehending. Thanks for posting.
As a visual artist I feel Miserere as a masterwork that has the sonic resonance of the souls deepest calling an overlay of texture / color, a visual Hymn of holy ground presented in this Basilica. One is moved by the soul's sense of being called to enter Holy Ground
Wow, 6:10 on... her face looks fairly relaxed while doing a high C
+Tania S. Smith She can probably do it in her sleep. Its just lots of practice and a damn good diaphragm!
Being relaxed makes these things more achievable. Tensing up will make it harder to hit that note. She probably trained to intentionally relax herself to get these results.
This piece gets into your soul. I have this on a VHS tape.
She has an extremely high tessitura. You'd be scared if you paid attention to her G5s. There's quite a lot of runway left for her
Never doubt the sublime artistry of these singers or this composition. It is however, not everyone's taste. And would the world be a dull place if we all liked the same things?
La pureté de la voix qu'exige ce type de chant est sublime.
As Muslim it's so beautiful hear this song i love it
Im a hindu and this is one of the most beautiful classical compositions i have ever listened to :)
This is beyond every human comment. The Tallis Scholars and Peter Phillips are like angels, who have invaded earth to let us hear the beauty of the universe.
Listen and be blissed out
Exquisite!
almost every night this places me in the a deep sleep. What a blessing
Took an online course on music and this was by far the most incredible thing in the course. Beautiful!!!
il do sovracuto (top C) perfetto mette i brividi ... sublime!
que voces tan bellas y dulces, mucha energia!!!
The Tallis Scholars always touch my heart, what a beautiful piece
Una auténtica maravilla. Enhorabuena!
Mogę umrzec, nie boje śmierci kiedy tego słucham
Chef d’œuvre incontestable de toute l’histoire de la musique.
Je suis athée, mais je considère que la musique sacrée est ce que l’humain a créé de plus grand.
Plus grand que lui et qui transcende toutes les religions.
I have no words.
Rick Marcantonio I kno what you're saying.
Who is the women who sings the high notes? Is she still with the Scholars? She has a wonderful voice.
Karen Venn she's called Deborah Roberts.
RIP Tessa Bonner
Allegri's Miserere, one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. It was Mozart who when seeing the manuscript - usually kept in secret at the Vatican - committed it to memory and later reproduced it for all to enjoy.
It's another example of the church interfering for the sake of control over the masses
One of the many Mozart myths, like the one about him being buried in a pauper’s grave.
Painfully exquisite..thanks!
beautiful!!
Just memorizing, brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps through my body! Will always be one of my favorites by the Tallis Scholars!
Merci tous simplement
angelical...oh my God this is heavenly
Music that glorifies God is timeless. Literally.
had the pleasure of taking my wife to see Tallis Scholars last night. Absolutely amazing experience!!!
starting at 1:44 ending at 2:03 does not describe my words thats how beautiful it sounds.....
if the human race is capable of this...such a thing of beauty...why would we even bother to think of doing things that bring so much pain to each other...when WE can do this!!!!!!
These voices come directly from heaven... and then take you back to heaven... Absolutely wonderful...
I’ve never heard anything like this before.. no words...
Tears in my eyes exquisiteness...
magical truely thx for sharing
All blessing
God is Great.
I love this. And the Tallis Scholars do this piece such justice :')
These singers are supernatural. Real superheroes of the genre...... give the tights and masks! Woderfully sung.
What it must be like to hear the angels sing in heaven. Also, "Ave Verum Corpus" by Mozart. Makes me cry every time..
You should hear the Byrd version then
Does anybody know where i can find more music like this ? It's amazing.
Search for "Palestrina", "de Victoria", "de Morales" and you should find lots.
time5d Will do. Thanks.
The Sixteen, the Tallis Scholars, Stile Antico, King's Singers, the Montreal Studio of Ancient Music are all leading ensembles of early music. L'Arpeggiata, Accordone, the Monteverdi Choir, Cantus Cölln, the Hilliard Ensemble, Hesperion XXI, Concerto Italiano all do music from the same period, though different in style.
Another incredible group is: HUELGAS ENSEMBLE and PAUL VON NEVEL. Pure perfection
You might also like "Vide Cor Meum"
Lux eaterna means nothing else but eternal light!
we have so much to cherish from the classical period. I do hope it is not poisioned by plutonium.
It may be the most "mechanical" rendition (as a lot of the Tallis Scholars renditions are), but it doesn't detract from this being one of the most perfect ones.
It's only getting worse. Peter mentioned a rerecording of Gaude Gloriosa. I dread it
Heavenly harmonies. Perfection.
WOW!!
thank you for sharing this deep and perfect beauty! i have been looking for this miserere for years, after having heard it performed by the Tallis Scholars in Salzburg Festival
No Words
Beyond description!
Stunningly beautiful. Soul stirring.
the best recording :)
"Soul-Balm" just fantastic!
Divine music. Sublime performance- what's not to love!
simplemente hermoso
That is the most beautiful recording of that piece and on the perfect setting. Those top C's Wow!! Thank you for posting. Definate shiver down the spine moment when they started.
Thanks for this excellent-quality upload! Recently I heard the SACD version on a $30K Marantz/Pioneer system with electrostatic speakers; yet this RUclips version is quite satisfying even through ordinary headphones, and we see it, too!
psalm 51. the cry of the human heart to God for mercy. this is perfect.
