Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652) was an Italian composer and priest who dedicated his life to crafting stunning sacred music. His compositions, primarily focused on the church, resonated with unparalleled beauty and emotional depth, earning him a place among the most admired figures of the Roman Baroque. Allegri's musical output was vast and varied, encompassing motets and masses. Miserere mei, Deus, nine-part setting of Psalm 51 (Have mercy upon me, O God) is Allegri's magnum opus. Composed for the Sistine Chapel choir, it became shrouded in legend for its hauntingly beautiful melodies.
