Australian Chamber Choir: Sistine Chapel in Middle Park

Douglas Lawrence directs the internationally acclaimed Australian Chamber Choir.

Allegri’s Miserere is complemented by compositions by his predecessors in the Sistine Chapel choir: Orlando di Lasso, Josquin des Prez, Tomás Luis de Victoria and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. This music was intended to give listeners an idea of how it would feel to be transported to heaven. It still does!
