Digital Single Description

SINGLE TRACK

During the Choral Pilgrimage 2013 Harry Christophers and The Sixteen presented a new version of Allegri's Miserere charting its evolution. The version intends to shed light on the complicated history of this most famous of choral pieces. 

Harry says "I am very grateful for Ben Byram-Wigfield's amazing work on the Allegri. He has scrutinised all the available source material from the Vatican and other libraries, giving us an invaluable insight into the origins of the music. Sadly, nothing survives from Allegri's lifetime, and what we usually hear today is the result of scribal errors and fanciful interpretation. What we have attempted to do, by making use of the many sources, is to show how the piece has evolved over the centuries into the version audiences know and love today." For more information about the edition used, please visit Ancient Groove Music.
