Many exquisite moments to be experienced in this performance
One of the best performances of this music
The purity of these voices is extraordinary
I was transfixed in spiritual rapture
Listening to the harmonies and overtones
Rising up into the ethereal planes
If ever you feel down about the ugliness in this world
Stop and Listen to this
Its BEAUTY will refresh your soul
And restore your Faith in Humanity
That while such ugliness does exist in this world
So, too, does man's ability to transcend corruption
And rise to the celestial heights through art and music

Miserere mei, Deus by Gregorio Allegri
"This piece of music was proprietary to the Sistine Chapel Choir. The music was not published except to three people; the Holy Roman Emperor, the King of Portugal, and an Italian priest who was one of the leading approved composers of sacred music in his time. In 1770, when he was around 14 years old, Mozart attended a performance of the Choir in which this was the showpiece. When he returned to his room shortly thereafter, he transcribed the complete musical score from memory. Let that sink in for a moment—the libretto, the voices singing each part, and the music for each instrument. He attended an additional performance and made some minor changes from his original work. That is how this glorious work of musical art first escaped the Vatican and select royalty, was by the genius of a commoner with one of the greatest gifts of musical genius ever bestowed upon any human."
