sacred classical music

Any fans?

I currently have this playing, Bach's Mass in B minor conducted by Karl Richter:

Here's a fantastic performance of Handel's Messiah conducted by Hogwood:

And for something a little more obscure, here's Byrd's Mass for 4 voices by The King's Singers. Absolutely beautiful!

Here's a translation for the two masses: http://www.kitbraz.com/tchr/hist/med/ma ... _text.html

Our local classical station plays sacred music on Sunday mornings so we usually listen on the way to church.

I generally cannot listen to “popular” Christian music on the radio with a few exceptions. I find it generally uninspired and imitative of plain old pop music or country.

I have been listening a lot to a band called Hammock. The two members are Christians and while the music is not overtly Christian (its instrumental) I find it very inspiring and beautiful.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out. I like ambient type music.

I really have never paid much attention to popular Christian music, or contemporary Christian music. It has a really saccharine atmosphere, from what I have heard, too sappy and sentimental. I can't say I have given it much of a chance, but that genre in general, whether Christian or secular is not for me.

As I'm typing this I'm really liking "Then the Quite Explosion", really good!

As far as pop/rock is concerned, I do like what I have heard from Phil Keaggy, but I haven't heard much there either. Spectacular guitar work.
