You're referring to Gregorio Allegre's "Miserere", a 40-part motet of stunning beauty.

The Tallis Scholars are, IMHO, probably the best mixed (male and female) choral group around. Anything by them will give you that Christmas feel, even if the works aren't specifically Christmas music.

Nobody has suggested this?

Crank up some Trans Siberian Orchestra and rock out!

Wizards in Winter (off of The Lost Christmas Eve)
A Mad Russians Christmas (off of Christmas Eve and Other Stories)
Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/4) (off of Christmas Eve and Other Stories)

Maybe not the most sophisticated stuff, but at the very least, Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/4) is a pretty powerful piece.

It's Gregorio Allegri, with an "i" at the end. Here's some more info on him and the work, including a famous story about Mozart.

They were just here in Amarillo last week. Tickets were gone before I could even call. I've been a Jon Oliva fan (Savatage) for a long, long time and seen Al Pitrelli play with Megadeth in a small club several years ago (amazing guitarist!)

All available on CD. I have them all. But only listen to the vinyl anymore.
On CD, the Cantate Domino and Saint-SAens sound the best. Buffalo Springfield and 'Miles' are just behind and the Alison Krause okay too. All of them do well what CD does well which is to be clear and clean.
Or as one was heard to say" no soul all the time".

Everyone that heard the Two Towers was impressed! I played several selections that had good bass and excellent imaging. My brother-in-law was probably the most interested because he is your typical "Bose" man and couldn't believe the soundstage that these two-ways were producing. Suffice to say that he was blown away. Then he made the mistake of asking how loud they were. So....in went the AC/DC "Back in Black" and up went the NAD C320Bee. Now I've never ran the speakers very loud, so I went ahead and took it up slowly. Lets just say that the Towers were smooth and crystal clear all the way up to the amp beginning to clip. Never stressed once and the bass was enough to make you piddle your britches!

Wayne - THANK YOU for the design!!!!!!
