Also belonging to the more archaic stratum of motets is Libera me Domine ( a5 ), a cantus firmus setting of the ninth responsory at Matins for the Office for the Dead, which takes its point of departure from the setting by Robert Parsons, while Miserere mihi ( a6 ), a setting of a Compline antiphon often used by Tudor composers for didactic cantus firmus exercises, incorporates a four-in-two canon.

Allegri composed his setting of the Miserere for the final act within the first lesson of the Tenebrae service.

The Miserere is written for two choirs, one of five and one of four voices, and is an example of Renaissance polyphony surviving to the present day.

( For higher notes see, for example, the treble solo at the beginning of Stanford's Magnificat in G, David Willcocks ' descant to Mendelssohn's tune for the carol Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, the even higher treble solo from Gregorio Allegri's " Miserere ", and the treble part in the Nunc Dimittis from Tippett's Evening Canticles written for St John's College, Cambridge ) Many trebles are also able to reach higher notes by use of the whistle register but this practice is rarely called for in performance.

Moreschi's Director at the Sistine was Domenico Mustafà, himself once a fine castrato soprano ( maybe finer even than Moreschi ), who realised that Alessandro was, amongst other things, the only hope for the continuation of the Sistine tradition of performing the famous setting of the Miserere by Gregorio Allegri during Holy Week.
