I was selected as part of Belfast's Cathedral Choir to do the solo on this, I was absolutely terrified by the idea of it, as it was a high C in terms of high pitch, which we choristers weren't quite used to. The choirmaster, the redoubtable David Drinkell, now lost to Canadian choirs sadly, was a massive encouragement, and I made it. And I made it back down to G again. And then I fell into a life of drugs and alcohol.[only joking]

This piece is a latin version of Psalm 51, composed by King David of Israel. He wrote it as a psalm of confession to God, after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba and arranged for the murder of her husband. Realizing the enormity of his guilt and overwhelmed with the magnitude of his crimes against the LORD and the people whom he had created, David wrote these words: Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

I just can't describe how beautiful the church really is. And there was a choir behind the church a floor above us, so the music spread across the whole room. It was so beautiful and it was just like this song. I think in a way, bc I come from such a classical musical background, and I went to that church for special holidays, it's almost like comfort food. But it's comfort music.

This particular piece, and many others like it (i.e. Agnus Dei, Ave Maria- both versions, etc) occurred to me in my late teens and early 20s when I was "agnostic"... I wouldn't say it was my first step towards Christ, but there was absolutely something in the essence of these sacred works, something in their origin and conception, that I had never heard, and that no other such music could candidly cite or sincerely draw inspiration from... and in that (as an aspiring composer myself)... I heard divinity. It wasn't all too long after that I found God.

Music awakens only that which within the soul dwells. A heart with spiritual eyes directed towards God is awakened more to the quest of their heart and hence soul. A heart directed at other things sees not the spiritual. God has no boundaries in whatever way we define it - no age, no language, not Catholic, or whatever divisions or denomination. Let this music and the words of it awaken the light that casts no shadow in you hearts whatever the leaning we are and we shall see that in God we are one in His love.

Oh what a load of crap! Are you saying that an atheist can not be moved to tears by the beauty of these voices? The words are in Latin, a language very few living people speak, and yet the beauty of the SOUND captures the imagination without knowing the meaning of the words or the motivation of Allegri. Go preach to someone else about your fantasy, I for one am not interested in hearing about your bearded man in the sky.

So many musical purists insist upon using boys voices for this sublime piece of music. However, the Tallis Scholars are men and women. Can you tell the difference? The women's voices are so pure!

Just after the age of iconoclasm, when chaste chanting was being gradually supplanted with polyphonic singing in the religious world, this stands out as the greatest single composition that cemented the acceptance of true music as religiously acceptable, capable as this is of transporting the listener from the hardscrabble world into the ecstasy of the Divine.

There will come a time when we will hear 10 million Angels sing the praises to the Great God of the Universe , and we will be singing with them by the grace of the Great Merciful God for we ARE WASHED and presented clean before God through the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

ew, that's not right. washed clean in blood? even metaphorically it's disgusting. but what can you expect from a cult that worships a dead guy nailed to a cross that 'came back to life' and now promises to return, like a deadbeat dad with his eternal weekend excuses

I heard this for the first time many many years ago on WFLN classical music station in Philadelphia and fell in love with it. Then I saw that the British film "Maurice" used it when one of the boys was hurrying to the Chapel, and it was very effective. I have heard it many times since then and it has never disappointed me. But this recording is very special. I is probably the best recording ever made - so far. Thank you for uploading it.

Yay for WFLN. They later merged with Temple University's WRTI, which formerly was jazz only. (And from which I learned a great deal about jazz music) It's a bit sad that a city the size of Philly could not sustain separate jazz and classical stations.
