    This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard; and I love all forms. However, somehow the way the voices compliment the Latin conveys not only sorrow, but forgiveness; loss and hope; emptiness and fullness all equally and at the same time. Great for any season, Faith, or philosophy.

    It can be harder than it looks, your voice may break or you could break down just being nervous,
    But it's an amazing piece to sing.

    Actually, I think this music was meant to entertain, instead. It was written in XVII century, back then you had to compose sacred music (or at least to write both nonreligious and religious music) if you wanted to grow your musical skill, it was the use. This is the way in that age the entertainment was intended. However, this is still music, born from human genius or divine genius, as you prefer, but still you can appreciate its religious value, or its artistic value, or even both.

    This was re-run on TV last night... for the second time I was able to see it. Good, isn't it?
    Interestingly, now that I have become convinced there is no god, I have found comparative religion much more interesting as a topic...
    ... and also that the sacred music INSPIRED by religion, is much more enjoyable.

  • @SquirrelMusical
    @SquirrelMusical 13 років тому

    @BarondHolbach and @FOreseer, to add to a debate that seems to have been raging for a while, manuscript evidence shows that, actually, Allegri didn't write quite a lot of the 'Miserere' as we think of it today. Those famous top C's were most probably added by an 18th-century performing edition, as were quite a lot of its other characteristic features. Therefore, seeing this piece as a celebration of one man's genius, god-given or not, seems a little strange, does it not?

    Yes, I agree that atheists are generally more open-minded- that was sort of the point. Not all though, plenty of people who would avoid 'church music' on some sort of predisposed offensiveness. As you mentioned, religion has a lot of brilliant art, architecture and music affiliated with it. My position, which I'm sure you share, is that the art-form stands on its own, created by man.

  • @hetismij21
    @hetismij21 12 років тому

    And what is the music about? Every single note is written to exhalt God, if you take away the religious context, there won't even be a single note left, the structure would fall and all there is left would be silence. This music wasn't meant to entertain nor to enjoy it is a humble prayer, a song in which we ask to repent for our sins and for begging mercy from God. it's so much deeper then just go enjoy! It's not a pleasure song, Typical of these days: Go and enjoy is not the message dear.

      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 the ones who have accepted the true beauty of music (and, if you're a believer, the speech of God Himself in this melodies) can hear this the way it was meant to be heard. Not like the modern, passionless rubbish that we call "music". This magnificent composition needs to be enjoyed, with passion and delight. 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. Not now, not in a close future. At least the awake can sense what this is, and will become part of the light to the humanity that this is.

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.

    Miserere (full title: Miserere mei, Deus, Latin for "Have mercy on me, O God") is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri. It was composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins, as part of the exclusive Tenebrae service on Holy Wednesday and Good Friday of Holy Week.

    Popular legend has it that Pope Urban VIII held this piece in such high regard that the 1514 piece of music was never to leave St. Peter's, upon excommunication, except for three copies that were given to different ecumenical safekeeping. Upon hearing it once, 14 year old W.A. Mozart transcribed it, from memory, and, instead of excommunicating him, Pope Clement XIV awarded him with the Order of the Golden Spur. the cat was out of the bag, and the piece was published in 1771 for everyone to enjoy! Thanks, Wolfie!

    I can't understand why some people in the world refuse to appreciate or listen to something beautiful like this just because they don't believe in it. I may be Agnostic (not the same thing as Atheism by the way), but I appreciate good music regardless of what it's about. This song is gorgeous and I enjoy Gregorian Chant in general. I could listen to it all day.

I listen to this song when I want to relax and meditate, but I always appreciate Gregorian Chant no matter the situation. Also, a lot of soundtracks from video games, movies and anime series use this kind of music, so it's not like people need to be religious to listen to this.

    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.
