Very Best of Naxos Early Music

Wish we could have sung this version of "Kyrie Eleison" during all those long drab services in my younger days when I was an altar boy (the altar wine was lovely though and we always sneaked some after mass). Great album and it's FREE! Thanks Amazon.

This compilation is a soothing, relaxing getaway from the normal grind of todays music. It has a blend of choral, christian type music...it will put you in that mood when you just want some piece. I've added these tracks to my iTouch and will enjoy it always. I really think that this type of music expands your mind, and lets you melt away, and as a firefighter it gives me that chance to think about other more positive things than the pain that I see on a daily basis! Great Job Amazon!

As a Christian and a belly dancer/instructor, what a surprise and delight it was to find a baladi-based version of "Kyrie Eleison (Lord, have mercy)" -- for free, even! Rest assured I'll be belly dancing to *this* song. I've already checked out iTunes for more from Oni Wytars, and bought another song, LOL. The rest of the album is well done and worth a listen, even if it's not quite as danceable.

This is a wonderful sampler of early music similar to the Waverly Consort and the choral work of Vox Populi. It's lush, soothing & evocative. Thanks for the variety, Amazon!
