Another unspeakably beautiful piece of sacred music - I saw
this clip on Fr. Z's blog (http://wdtprs.com/blog/) today. Allegri's
Miserere
had been jealously guarded by the Vatican, which did not allow the
score to be published for a century and a half, until the fourteen year
old Mozart heard it once, and promptly went back to his room to write
down the musical notation from memory (http://www.classicfm.com/composers/mozart/guides/mozart-allegri-miserere/).
Vertitas alienior quam Fictio est.
