Miserere mei
In the past, this work was only performed in the
Sistine Chapel
in the Vatican. It combines Gregorian chant with rich, complex polyphony
for about ten minutes. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart heard this piece as a boy,
and wrote its entire score from memory. This event made the work famous
outside the Catholic Church, and nowadays many people can enjoy this sacred
music, as accompaniment to numerous television films and documentaries.
