Performance Information
Allegri’s Miserere is referenced at 34:43 by the Dean (Rev. Michael Till). The performance starts at 35:42 and concludes at 40:44 – a duration of 05:02 covering vv. 1-8. Beyond the Miserere, the programme is a touching and well presented insight into the life of the choristers, and the choir in general. In the wider context of Miserere study, it is our first introduction to Benjamin (Ben) Byram-Wigfield (at 21:47) – who went on to do so much to explore the manuscripts and performance practice related to Allegri’s Miserere.
