Song #174

A beautiful piece of classical music, which has been the subject of various urban legends. One of these I was told when I first learned part of the piece for a choir performance in high school: The work was composed by composer Gregorio Allegri in the 1600's for use in the Vatican. The story goes that there were no copies of the sheet music available outside the Vatican , maybe to prevent 'unworthy' places also performing the piece? Some 150 years later, this plot was foiled by a teenaged Mozart, who heard the piece once while visiting and wrote out the entire score based on his memory.

This is of course bullshit, there was sheet music available and performances were held as far away as London years before Mozart was born, but it's a fun story!

ce chant, ces voix, forment l'admirable architecture de l'espace invisible aux lignes pures, dont les grandes ailes immobiles font symétrie et ordre ; la voûte humaine la plus parfaite formant alors palais sonore aux grandes perspectives où je veux m’évanouir pour demeurer encore un instant ce que plus loin je ne serais plus dans la victoire du silence ; et je cherche la note plaintive, l’embelli dans l'innombrable, qui retiendra l’épure sans renoncer ; la musique fait voler notre âme loin des corps lourds

​​“Quando siamo troppo allegri, in realtà siamo infelici.

Quando parliamo troppo, in realtà siamo a disagio.

Quando urliamo, in realtà abbiamo paura.

In realtà, la realtà non è quasi mai come appare.”

— Virginia Woolf
