    A former Catholic choirboy singing in Latin isn't really impressive, mate.:D

    Is to me! Good song and one that they are obliged to go whenever they perform (well, mostly).
    Their great rivals over the years, Fairport Convention did a spoof on this song a few years ago at Cropredy called “Crudités”, obviously sung as “crew-day-tays” etc.

    When my daughter got married 16 years ago she asked me to find something to take her down the aisle, so I chose this. It's not my favourite classical piece but it's a nice change from Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March'.

    Prelude (Te Deum) - Charpentier - Bing video

    Is it your favourite because of the Troika sample?

    Troika is a beautiful piece of music and one of my favourites too. It’s also one of the few things I still remember how to play on the piano!

    An obvious one for me. I first heard this in the late 70s, as part of the animated film "Allegro Non Troppo." The animated sequence below is an extract from that film and does a nice take on the creation of life and the rise of civilisation.

    It's also one of the few classical pieces I could name. :oops:

    1) Cantata Memoria for the Children by Karl Jenkins - an absolutely brilliant work - words and music - commemorating the 116 and 28 children killed by the NCB at Aberfan in 1966.
    (Listen to it on You Tube - every time I listen to it I'm moved to tears.)

    2) Catrin Finch - Welsh harpist duetting with Seckou Keita Senegalese kora player.

    3) Mitsuko Uchida playing Mozart Piano Concerto in D Minor.

    4) Treorchy Male Voice Choir singing Cwm Rhondda - Guide me o Thou Great Redeemer....

    Not forgetting Greig's Piano Concerto. I'm especially fond of the Andre Previn 1971 recording. :)
