The Miserere mei, Deus by Gregorio Allegri is among the most famous choral works.
Composed in year 1638, based on a simple Gregorian chant, the piece is written using a composition technique called faux-bourdon, for nine voices, a cappella.
This version by the Tenebrae Choir, filmed at St Bartholomew the Great in London, is deeply bright and inspired.

Laudate Dominum is a Christmas carol that starts with the psalm 130, De profundis, which is sung for the second vespers of Christmas, and expresses the cry of the Christ, descended on earth, to his Father. It is followed by a tenor aria with some lyrics from the Gospel of Luke (2, 10), when the angel comes to announce the birth of Jesus. It is finally concluded by a very long fugue on the Psalm 117, Laudate Dominum Omnes Gentes, used as an antiphon during the Christmas liturgical time.
