Miserere Mei Deus - Based on Psalm 51 and set to music by Allegri around 1630. This is one of the finest and most popular examples of renaissance polyphony.
I can never hear this music without remembering hearing it being sung, extremely well to my untrained ears, in a supermarket car-park in Kidderminster by two friends of mine!
This other version isn't nearly as good as the version sung by "The Sixteen".
