Miserere - Bai, Tommaso

📄

Preview not generated yet

"This setting of the Miserere was composed c. 1711 with the intention of using the "soprano extrapolations" (abellimenti) used at the end of verses as sung by the Sistine Chapel Choir in the setting by Allegri (in proper key). Following this composition of Tommaso Bai, who apparently died at the end of the year he composed it, it had become the tradition of the Sistine Choir to annually alternate the two settings of the Psalm in the Holy Week liturgies."
