Description
That Note from Heaven: The Top C in Allegri’s Miserere in 60 Seconds. Take a minute to get the scoop!

Fun Fact
The Vatican once banned copying Miserere, enforcing secrecy to protect its mystique. Young Mozart heard it once in 1770 and wrote it out entirely from memory. This musical jailbreak helped make the soaring top C famous—and added to Mozart’s legend as a prodigious musical genius with a photographic ear.
