Gregorio Allegri (1582 - 1652)

In a career largely centred on Rome, Allegri provided music for the papal choir.

Church Music

Allegri's most famous work is his setting of the Miserere for five-part choir, with a second four-part choir of soloists. The work was kept secret, but the 14-year-old Mozart wrote it out from memory, after he had heard it sung in Holy Week in the Sistine Chapel in 1770.
