Miserere, by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652), is a setting of Psalm 51 composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins as part of the exclusive Tenebrae service on Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week. It was the last of twelve misereres composed and chanted at the service since 1514 and the most popular: at some point, it became forbidden to transcribe the music and it was only allowed to be performed at those particular services, adding to the mystery surrounding it. Writing it down or performing it elsewhere was punishable by excommunication.

This Marian hymn is from around the 18th century. This particular version, by the Cathedral Singers of Richard Proulx, is highly abridged of the original. The three beautiful paintings are 'The Annunciation' (Francesco de Mura), 'The Song of the Angels' (William Bouguereau), and 'The Annunciation' (supposedly Andrea del Sarto, but I have my doubts). The lyrics of this version and the rough English translation are as follows: O sanctissima, O piissima, Dulcis Virgo Maria! Mater amata, Intemerata: Ora, ora pro nobis! Tua guadia Et suspiria Juvent nos, O Maria! In te speramus, Ad te clamamus, Ora, ora pro nobis! O most holy one, O most lowly one, Loving virgin, Mary! Mother of tender love, Queen of the heavens above, Pray for us here below! Virgin ever fair, hear our fervent prayer, Look upon us, Mary! Bring to us your treasure, grace beyond measure; Pray for us here below!
