Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses No.5 ’Miserere d’après Palestrina’, - Franz Liszt

Franz Liszt: Harmonies Poétiques et Religieuses No.5 ’Miserere d’après Palestrina’, . “The Miserere (2) is not as florid as its later version, but consists of a simple statement and a variation of the opening of Psalm 51 (Vulgate 50): Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. (Liszt’s source for the Latin text is as faulty as its attribution to Palestrina.)“ (Notes by Leslie Howard) Discord server:
