It was the last of twelve falsobordone Miserere settings composed and chanted at the service since 1514 and the most popular: at some point, it became forbidden to transcribe the music and it was only allowed to be performed at those particular services, adding to the mystery surrounding it. Writing it down or performing it elsewhere was punishable by excommunication.[1] The setting that escaped from the Vatican is actually a conflation of verses set by Gregorio Allegri around 1638 and Tommaso Bai (also spelled "Baj"; 1650–1718) in 1714.
tl;dr: The pope is a dick. He had a wonderful piece of music written, and then told everyone that they couldn't listen to it! So you know what good old Willy Mozart did?That motherfucker went to the sistine chapel to hear it performed, when home and transcribed it word for word. Therefore, Mozart is now the king of TPB! Mozart has successfully trolled the catholic church.
