Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.95
It's only natural we sometimes hit the high seas....make that Cs. This is one box set about which we sing praises. This set features more than two hours of the finest music from across the centuries by such composers as Schubert, Chopin, Mozart, Handel, Stravinsky and Glass. The set also comes with a 562-page illustrated book, detailing the lives of hundreds of composers, a glossary of musical terms and a unique guide to the classical music used in 360 top films.

62.11,000 Virgins: Chants for the Feast of St. Ursula by: Anonymous 4 September 09, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $21.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.10
As I have said in previous reviews about Anonymous 4, the group does perhaps the best interpretation of the ancient Chants that I have heard. This CD is no exception. It is arranged, as is fitting, into a semi-liturgical format, which means that each chant is serving a real function similar to that which it would have done in its own time. The voices are beautiful; the chants are beautiful. What more could you ask? I would caution, though, if you have ZERO appreciation for antiquity and the austerity of the original chants, this CD will not be for you. It has no instrumetation and interprets the neumes quite simply, letting St. Hildegard's beautiful words and melody make their mark without a whole lot of funny business. Thank goodness. As a member of a chant schola, the only problem ... Read More

Startlingly beautiful. Among the highest achievements of culture- and unique in its piercing Heaven. The sublime Sound you have been looking for. Follow Hildegard the Great the way Home...

64.Noël: Carols & Chants for Christmas - Anonymous 4 (4 CD Set) from: Harmonia Mundi October 11, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $54.99
I recently read that there are really two Christmas holidays: the federally-recognized secular "day off", and the true holy day. Quite true. If you seek to return to the latter, look no farther than this collection of music that harkens back to when Christians really understood the significance of the day. The angelic voices of Anonymous 4 will quickly become a seasonal favorite.

65.And On Earth Peace: A Chanticleer Mass from: Warner Classics May 08, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.95
The Chant and Renaissance works were good, though short. The Modern works are long and self-indulgent. The Voices are, however , very fine

66.Sing Ye Heavens - Hymns for All Time by: Cambridge Singers, John Rutter August 02, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.99
I have NOT received the cd yet. I has been a wonderful while, and although I sent an email to the seller asking for it, my request seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. What else am I supposed to do??

67.Lost in Meditation: Meditative Gregorian Chants from: Delta August 30, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $8.37 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 You Save: $0.38 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.98
I bought this CD to help me relax when traffic gets heavy. It has a nice deep bass to it, and is very soothing to me. People who like a driving beat will not enjoy these chants so much, but I'm sure they lower my blood pressure and help me arrive home ready to enjoy the evening, no matter what the roads were like!

68.Best Loved Christmas Carols from: EMI Classics October 05, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.97 You Save: $6.01 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.99
This is an excellent collection of choir Christmas music. I adore choirs and the Kings College choir is one of the very best in the world. I played it all during the holidays and will enjoy it for many years to come.

69.Medieval Carols from: Naxos February 15, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $8.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.90
This anthology of early Christmas music provides a refreshing alternative to traditional seasonal releases, introducing the newcomer to these works with a representative and well contrasted programme. The performances - by a much reduced Oxford Camerata - are carefully executed and well-balanced, if perhaps not authoritative, and a bargain at this price. From a musicological viewpoint, there are, however, a few points worthy of mention. Firstly, it must be admitted that there is a certain degree of artistic licence with the title "Medieval Carols" given the inclusion of 2 Renaissance works in the programme - 'Riu, riu, chiu' (from 'Villancicos de diversos autores' [1556] but here craftily attributed to "traditional") and 'Gaudete!' (correctly indicated as of 15th century origin, but in fact here performed ... Read More

70.Time of the Templars from: Naxos May 27, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $18.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $12.42
This set of 3 discs gives the mystique of the times of the Crusades, the mixing of Europe and Middle Eastern-Byzantine rich overlays of religion, chivalry and every-day celebration based on Christianity, Judaism and Islam. As a medieval reenactor, I play the part of a minor king of Jerusalem and certainly have been influenced by this musical presentation as I feel it has incredible soul and passion that helps me better to understand the uniqueness of this area of the middle east (especially playing early Christian Music that is sung in Aramaic as it would have appeared during that period). It simply can take you as close to the Kingdom of Heaven as one can get and still be on the earth! My many thanks for the technical aspects of the recordings in that they have beautiful balance and you can hear with all ... Read More
