Book Synopsis 'Allegri's Miserere' in the Sistine Chapel by : Graham O'Reilly
Book excerpt: The Miserere by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652) is one of the most popular, oft performed and recorded choral pieces of late Renaissance/early Baroque music. Yet the piece known today bears little resemblanceto Allegri's original or to the piece as it was performed before 1870.
