I ran into this earlier and thought it was pretty incredible, especially the girl that hits the extremely high note. Called “ Miserere” by Gregorio Allegri in the 1630s and by law could exclusively be sung in the Sistine Chapel.

It was illegal to transcribe it but at the age of 14 Mozart visited during a trip to Rome and he memorized it and wrote it down later which ended up giving him fame. The church found out and instead of excommunicating him they invited him back and said if a kid is able to do that he must have God working through him.

Anyways here ya go, the girl that hits the really high notes is incredible:

We have memorized our own version of Misery here exchanging LucasP for you.

ETA: You should be excommunicated from the OT.
