Here is the song I will be singing
on my way to Purgatory. I just hope that I can hit that high note:
Miserere Mei Deus
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.
