Gregorio Allegri<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gregorio Allegri was born in Rome in 1582. He is not a hugely popular composer. However, he holds a valuable position with his composition of Miserere<\/a> and other sacred works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a selection<\/a> of Gregorio Allegri sheet music on music-scores.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allegri was an Italian Priest, composer, and singer who was a devout Roman Catholic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spent most of his life in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On music-scores.com we have a selection of arrangements of Miserere mei Deus <\/a>including Brass<\/a>, Clarinet<\/a>, Flute <\/a>and String <\/a>quintets, and SSATB<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the age of nine, Allegri became a chorister in the Papal Chapel and remained there until his voice broke in 1596. He went on to hold further singing positions and compose many motifs, thus resulting in recognition by Pope Urban VIII<\/a>. This materialised into his appointment in the Papal Choir<\/a> at the Sistine Chapel<\/a> in 1629. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miserere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Allegri’s most famous work was Miserere<\/a>, a nine-voice setting of Psalm 51. Quite incredibly this composition is for two choirs, one of four voices and the other five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The version below of Miserere is from the King’s College, Choir in Cambridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
