| Domain | Definitions |
Literature | Miserere (4 syl.). Our fifty-first psalm is so called. One of the evening services of Lent is called misererc, because this penitential psalm is sung, after which a sermon is delivered. The under side of a folding seat in choir-stalls is called a miserere; when turned up it forms a ledge-seat sufficient to rest the aged in a kneeling position. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Although there were a handful of supposed transcriptions in various royal courts in Europe, none of them ever succeeded in capturing the beauty of the Miserere as performed annually in the Sistine Chapel. According to the popular story, a twelve-year-old Mozart was visiting Rome, when he first heard the piece during the Wednesday service. Later that day, he wrote it down entirely from memory, returning with it to the Chapel that Friday to make some minor corrections. Some time during his travels, he ran into the British historian Dr. Charles Burney, who got the piece from him and took it to London, where it was published. Once it was published, the ban was lifted, and Allegri's Miserere has since been one of the most popular a cappella choral works now performed.
