Because I was whining about bad liturgical music.

This is exhibit A of pretty much the exact opposite of contemporary liturgical music.



The hobbit and I, renaissance choral music fangirls that we are, have at least four recordings of this piece by various groups. There's something about the Tallis Scholars though. They are to other choirs what Swarovski is to other crystal. Others may be very nice, but there's just something giving an extra sparkle. (That this was recorded live at St Mary Major certainly doesn't hurt either.)
