Wow!!!! She hit the notes without a balloon 😳😳😳

[pedrorocha]

Imagine being a hardworking medieval farmer, entering the church and listening to this chant. Impossible not to think the angels are welcoming you in heaven.

Medieval Catholics definitely knew how to build a beautiful church.

Fact : Allegri’s ‘Miserere Mei, Deus’ was written in 1638 in the Vatican, as part of his work as a singer in the Sistine Chapel. It was regarded as so special that the Pope ordered that only 3 copies ever left the Vatican: one for the Padre Martini, one for the King of Portugal and one for the Holy Roman Emperor. Playing it on other places punishable by excommunication.

Then Mozart when visiting rome happened to hear this masterpiece, went home and transcribed the piece from memory for the entire 15 minutes.

At the time Mozart was 14.

I feel sorry for these people having to stand there singing for hours and hours as I replay this over and over.

[thomasafrica]

She hit that note like it owed her money

[brendon]

Everyone seems to ignore the bass singers, those low notes are impressive

[keziasarah]

400 years after being composed still so eloquent!

[YukiSaax]

No one can sing like an angel.
The woman on the left:
"Hold my holy water"

[zackparsons]

When the building itself is a musical instrument....

[raikho]

I am a Muslim and I shed tears of joy every day when I discovered such a masterpiece. The musical culture that emanates from Catholicism is absolutely incredible! It's inspiring, like so many things in my own religion! I am Muslim and I can feel God through these voices. We are much closer than we think. We have the same God after all ... Friendly, a Muslim.

[Melanezio]

Who still listening to this banger in 2024 AD?

[TodaySatan]

I'm not religious, but I would go to church every Sunday just to hear them sing..

[danielkhan]

If you're looking for that high note 1:35 here you go and one more at 3:49

[evelynnvernaz]

Who else came here to see if it was possible for it to be sung without helium and was blown away by that woman's voice?

[Dave]

I'm a muslim and i love this song, i feel like I'm in heaven when i hear it .

[Michelle-fetd]

I listen to this song every morning, praying my baby will be released from the NICU. He has tuberous sclerosis and he's only 6 days old today. I haven't been able to hold him since he was born. It's been absolutely torturous. I just want my son to be healed. Please pray for my son Levi Michael Gabriel 🙏

Update as of 1/15/2022:
We got to take Levi home in late November. He has daily seizures, but he's still a happy go lucky baby that hardly cries. He has been a huge blessing to our family and he's incredibly attached to me. Levi does need brain surgery to remove tubers in his occipital lobe. The tumors I'm his heart have shrunk since he was born on October 11th. Thank you everyone that has prayed for my adorable baby boy. 👶

[ricklaxative]

Christian or not, how can someone dislike this?

[joaquingonzalez]

I cant believe people on medieval era had better music than us now

[jessintare]

My father told me of his best memories growing up in Italy was going to church with his father and hearing the angelic voices of the choir. This reminds me of what he described. I know he is with me every day helping me within the love of God. He was born 1930.
