And some sexy Slovaks (not sure about the message of the song though )

J.S. Bach - Kyrie eleison from Mass in B minor BWV 232 (Karl Richter, 1969)Now lose yourself in the chant:
From the notes:
Some aspects of the musical life of a community of Benedictine nuns in the great French double monastery of Fontevrault, an early medieval royal foundation. In 1304, Eleanor of Brittany became its sixteenth Abbess, having been trained as a nun in the English daughter house of Amesbury. The Gradual that bears her arms contains, in addition to the normal chant repertoire, a special repertoire of its own. It is this collection of miscellaneous pieces that throw a special light on the musical life of these nuns. Some items were undoubtedly intended to embellish parts of the liturgy itself on high feast days; others are more likely to have been used as pious entertainment during moments of recreation—then as now, in monastic communities.
'Równonoc' is the first project in history that permanently combines Polish Slavic music with hip-hop.
Another of my favourites - the Tallis Scholars recording is the gold standard, but Voces8 make a very distinctive quality of sound, nice to listen to a different performance.William Byrd - Sing Joyfully

"Kyrie XI in the Roman Missal, I think. "Yes, an important and interesting source for Gothic music - that performance by Ensemble Organum is hauntingly lovely, though probably pretty far distant from the way Eleanor would have heard it. It's an elaborated version (with extended melismata - twiddly bits) of a basic Gregorian chant for the Kyrie on 'ordinary' Sundays - Kyrie X in the Roman Missal, Catholics who regularly attend a well-sung Mass will probably recognise it.
I checked an corrected myself - it's X (moral, don't trust Wiki)"Kyrie XI in the Roman Missal, I think. "
Naturellement!
From the Sacred to the profane:So uplifting!
