In 1638, Allegri composed the "Miserere Mei Deus". It was sung during services traditionally on Good Friday of Holy Week, but only in the Sistine Chapel. The pope forbade anyone from transcribing it, and its exact composition was kept secret for over 100 years.  Today we have the privilege to pause and listen to the ancient Psalm and reflect upon the mercy of God.
