Miserere mei Deus (Psalm 51), motet for chorus Composed by Gregorio Allegri with Matthew Beale, Thomas Herford, William Petter, Eamon Dougan Conducted by Edward Higginbottom Beyond this recording's new age packaging and title is a splendid sampling of some of the world's finest choral music, sung by one of the world's outstanding choirs. This "anthology of sacred choral music" spans 400 years and includes such masterpieces as Allegri's Miserere, Bach's "Jesu, joy of man's desiring," and Barber's exquisite Agnus Dei, which is the composer's choral setting of his famous Adagio for Strings. Along the way we also hear Mozart's sublime "Ave verum corpus," Elgar's "Lux aeterna," and the Kyrie from Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli. There has been a choir at England's New College, Oxford, since the year 1379, and this impressive line of experience shows in the intelligent, unfaltering, and finely polished performances by today's ensemble of 16 boys and 12 adults. Enjoy It! Ulysses56

You know, I actually bought this CD (for Barber's Agnus Dei); but it was this posting that made me actually look at the liner notes and listen to the CD. Thanks, Ulysses56, for your erudition and insight!
