Miserere Mei
Today Christians observe Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Traditionally, Ash Wednesday services include the reading or singing of Psalm 51 – in Latin, Miserere Mei – a psalm of humility and repentance. There are numerous settings of this text; more than that, there are numerous GOOD settings of this text. Many, though, believe that Gregorio Allegri’s is by far the best.
I believe I listened to this 4 times in a row. Just can’t get enough.
Ok, so does this mean we’ll sing it in 2017?
we can probably make it work next year
Luther thought of this psalm as a Gospel. Glorious perfo r mance. Thank you.
