For Good Friday, here is the King's College Chapel Choir with "Miserere Mei Deus" by Gregorio Allegri. Written for performance at the Sistine Chapel during Holy Week, this is the piece that a 14 year old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart heard on Wednesday of Holy Week, went home and wrote down the music from memory, then returned to the Sistine Chapel on Good Friday so he could make corrections to his transcription.
