St. Anthony's sermon to the fishes is a charmer.

I have a special devotion to St. Anthony, and that's why I got the CD for Christmas! . . . and one thing led to another.

"Revelge" ought to be illustrated by Goya. But "Wo die schönen Trompetten blasen" is just sad and beautiful.

Gaudete, Christus est natus

"Ex Maria virginae, gaudete!"

One of my favorites as well. First time I ever heard it was from a really obscure British folk group named Steeleye Span. One of Ian Anderson's (Jethro Tull) Chrysalis projects, I believe. I have the album.

For young people, an "album" was physical object similar to those ancient ones called "CD's" only with a littler hole in the middle. You couldn't download it. We used to spin it on a stick and pound on logs with rocks to keep time...

I also like the Coventry Carol. 16th century, that one.
