THE BBC'S TAKE ON GREGORIO ALLEGRI'S MISERERE MEI DEUS

Gregorio Allegri
 (1582-1652)

I came across a BBC program on the story of Gregorio Allegri's iconic masterpiece Miserere. As usual the BBC made a visually elegant production with vaguely anti-Catholic undertones -- but it's still worth watching. The program is 30 minutes long and traces the Miserere we know today back to its more simple beginning.
