Mistakes happen, but they distort the original idea. In the future that piece of music might be performed by a death metal band and people think it's just some traditional lullaby from the year 1984.
@ElCerdoBlanco
@ElCerdoBlanco 11 місяців тому
​@@ariseaman390 you underestimate (Death) Metal. Especially in Scandinavia many Metal bands are formed by musicians who studied music at the university. There is no modern music that is more complex than Metal (apart from "modern" classical music of course). Music is the language of emotions and in this song the high C is nothing else. But how can you express rage, anger or even hatred with a choir? This is the gap harmonic music cannot fill and where Metal has to be.

The high c is splendid, but I think what really sells it is the sudden key change. It makes you feel so transported each time. It’s so out of place for this type of music, being from the period it was from; and that’s because it actually IS out of place, but nonetheless 😂 And the plainchant in between works really well as a tonality palette cleanser to lead us back to the original key. ✨

Druid? Gregorio Allegri was a Roman Catholic Priest. Stop confusing yourself and robbing the Holy Trinity of their Glory! Their aim is to inspire love of God by sending Sanctifying music into the world. Their purpose again is to raise a soul to God! No doubt you are an admirer also of Mozart? Mozart was not the silly wretch they portrayed him as being in the film. Having read his unedited letters, he was revealed to be what would be classed today as a most Conservative Prudish person, a devout Roman Catholic (like Allegri) who served God and led people to God with his inspired music. In many letters Mozart speaks of Christ. "Christ willing I'll see you later" "If it is God's Will I will do so" etc...In one letter that Mozart wrote to a friend, he revealed that during the space of time that he sat at Table eating his dinner, he became distracted from his table guests, upon hearing music as though already composed playing in his head. All that was needed was for him to write it down. No doubt you would interpret him as being a warlock, Druid, or heathen - (all known to be Satanic types who are NOT of the pure, just God. Mozart, however, did not despise the virtue and innocence of Christ, and he recognised His virtue and innocence within His gift of Music. He therefore gave full credit to God. He said the music came from Heaven so that he could bring glory to God as souls marvelled at his accomplishments. Mozart also once said "I trust NO man who does not love Christ." As a Composer myself I know that what he said was true. Whether the music is dreamed, heard consciously playing outside yourself, or even played in your soul so you are unaware that it is indeed a gift from outside you - the author of ALL Sacred, spiritual beautiful music is Our Lord. Who hopes we will rush to worship Him as we hear it being performed. His aim is realised. MANY souls are brought to Christ listening to the music that He gave the Composers who LOVED Him. Other RC Priest Composers are Palestrina, Vivaldi, Tomas Luis de Victoria Monteverdi, - other Catholic Composers include, Pergolesi, Elgar, and of course, William Byrd and Thomas Tallis.

@@smc3735 “Druid” was a typo! I intended to type “period” and it auto-corrected. Not sure where you got your interpretation of my comment from though. Actuslly personally Mozart is among my least favorite composers. Also, as a composer, I appreciate and tolerate all religions and the music they have inspired, as well as the music they haven’t, and as such, respect that Allegri may have come from a similar spiritual background to yourself!

This just goes to show that any piece takes on an indepenence from its composer, and becomes a common cultural heritage, always in the process of being reinvented each time it's recreated. Even a written form, with a long history of documentation, such as the classical music tradition, takes on certain folkloric aspects, much like oral tradition in folk music. Any piece of art becomes public, collective property as the piece itself, and its entire history, becomes the basis for its own interpretation.

At the end of the day, if the "mistaken" high C section wasn't adopted, the piece may not have been quite as well known as it is. The extras that arguably shouldn't be there make it the iconic piece that it is. For something to be recognisable, it needs to stand out and this certainly does that, no matter what the puritans say about changing a piece of music from the composer's intentions.

Helen Charlston's voice is captivating. When she starts on "misericordiam" in the second version her tone is amazing. I loved this. I read Ben Byram-Wigfield's essay a few years ago, and of course I have heard The Sixteen do their versions (or what is available of them on UKposts). This was perfect. I much prefer the original tonus peregrinus. I would like to see a version very much like the 18th Century version but with embellishments simplified for a less proficient church choir. On the other hand, the simplicity of the original is amazing.

This is one of the most beautiful works of music in the world. The fact that it is the text of one of the most powerful Psalms in scripture only adds to it's beauty.

It was an honor to attend St. James in Vancouver WA. where Scott Powell directed the choir and he played the organ. The level of music was excellent. His choristers sang the Misrere during Holy Week with perfection.

I found the 8:12 original version to be amazing, but the high-C is just so compelling and fits so well into the piece. It's just the most incredible piece of music, whichever version you like.

Remarkable how a mistake changes this historic piece, only to make it be a signature identity. And this isn't a mistake in the negative sense of the word at all, but rather a happy one. And yet I find myself loving all three versions equally.

Wow! I heard the wrong version all these years! Thank god for your painstaking research and collaboration and the hard work of the Marian Consort. We finally have the right version which is much easier to sing too! The original version by Allegri was more layered, melodious, and more simple than later versions, without the high change in pitch. I liked it better, especially for singing. The later version is what I use when I want to release a flood of tears and my pain flows like a swollen river. Both version are beautiful, but I am very, very grateful to have the original Miserere that you have recorded here. I must buy this song if you have it. Thank you for restoring authenticity to this beautiful piece. It is everlasting.

As someone who's born in a non-Christian family this piece of music as well as this type of (church) music in general speaks straight to my heart and soul 🙌 ❤️ for me heaven exists in music and how it can heal a soul and mind. But i could listen to this piece in a church all day, sang by the ones who poses the knowhow of singing this song so heavenly. To be honest I've never spent more then a few hours in one for the loss of family or close friends... My thoughts go out for all my loved ones present or above. And thank you Allegri from the past, for this wonderfull peace of my soul from the warmth of your music. Which will last another hundreds of years thanks to our current technology of preservation and so on.... thank you thank you thank you☺️

I love the first version the most. 💖 When I first learned about the piece Miserere, I was always listening to the latest version until my brother made me listen to the original version of the piece and it's far more beautiful and fitting to the liturgy. So for me, it's how it is always supposed to be sung.

I have to say I love the original version's simplicity. But I always adored the timelessness of that style no matter how beautiful the modern is. And the challenge of performing an almost-famous work in such an exposed arrangement (i.e. not a massive choir) must have been quite something for you all!

Either version is a sweet piece of music. I'm actually partial to the original. The separation of the lower opening lines sound more dramatic to me. Those 9? voices produce a very big sound. The acoustics are awesome. Bravo!

11:03 I recognize the soprano on the left from Tenebrae's 2018 rendition of this same piece, also on UKposts. She must be intimately familiar with it by now. Also the alto at 10:57 is spectacular.

What an interesting history. I first heard it performed by the Tallis Scholars in the mid 80s. I have been blessed to hear them perform it live twice. To this day, after enjoying it hundreds of times, the opening ten notes still give me goosebumps. I am wondering what church is hosting these wonderful variations? Bravo Brava.

What an education you've provided about the versions of this piece. Thank you so much! I randomly ran across Tenebrae performing the "mistake" version as my first exposure to it. When I would look for other performers doing it, I noticed I kept seeing various composers' names, dates, and that some sounded different. I kept thinking to myself that I just didn't remember the name of the piece and wouldn't ever figure it out again, so I'd just be happy with what I *thought* I heard one time. (I did eventually find Tenebrae's performance again.) Now it all makes so much more sense. I look forward to listening to other versions with this knowledge.
