The Kings College version in latin is my favorite. I didn't know all the history you mentioned. That's fascinating. Can you recommend other choral pieces with a similar ethereal quality?

I will start ordering from Amazon immediately! I am a digital only person (computer based, actually), so the vinyl versions are not an option for me, but I believe much of what you recommend is available on cd. I may send you an email as I wade deeper into this music to get more advice from you. Thanks again!
