Are you still an athiest?
This is the least of beauty that you are missing out on. The Lord reveals his secrets to his beloved. This music was once a state secret of Rome sealed under punishment of excommunication of soul and sundry body parts,performed only once a year for the Pope during holy Week until the "Beloved of God"* heard it at the age of 14 and wrote it down from memory. Note Perfect. *Amadeus

It is a setting of Psalm 51- Have Mercy On Me O Lord- the psalm said on Holy Thursday.

If some of you who are new to listening to early/classical music try listening to these pieces : Hear My Prayer, O Lord - Henry Purcell / If Ye Love Me - Thomas Tallis / Geistliches Lied - Brahms /
Requiem - Faure / Of the Father's Heart Begotten - Anon / Requiem - Frank Martin /
Requiem - John Rutter / The Lord is my Shephard (Pslam 23) - John Rutter.
Please let me know if you have a chance to listen to some of my recommendations - some of this music is here on You Tube! Enjoy!

Incredible piece of music that reflects the season/occasion of the church year it was written for. It is so profound and moving - even if those who are non-christians who listen to this are inspired by its beauty.
It is amazing how this piece, over 370 years old, still touches the hearts of those who hear it. I wish ALL people would just take the time to just LISTEN to music like this - maybe people would be more kind and understanding of one another - the world would be a much better place.

This piece is my favorite part of the Lenten/Easter season. Every year I look forward to it.
