St Martin’s Autumn Choral Concerts
Allegri Miserere
Online Access
The concert will be available at 7.30pm on Thursday 5th November, and for 30 days following.
Allegri’s sublime Miserere mei, Deus is complimented perfectly with works by Purcell, Byrd, Pärt, James MacMillan and Owain Park. The manuscript for the Miserere was famously kept under lock and key in the Vatican, until a young man by the name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart heard it at the age of 14, transcribed it from ear, and had it published in London in 1771.
To help to get the most out of the performance, we are also delighted to offer a complimentary programme for the concert, with more details of the performers and works included. Download the programme here.
