@KasvelLipiel09 Great Classics for Relaxation has this on it, it is a 2 disc wonder.

Wonderful, heavenly

[KasveLipiel09]

Is there a CD you can buy with these songs on it?

[75Immer]

@Silmirel There is a difference between multi-cultural and multi-ethnic/racial. Having a chinese or an indian performing european (or for that matter, christian, english, french or catalan) songs is not multi-cultural. Having a Kebab 'restaurant' in London is, and by the way I don't think that enriches english culture at all.

Merry Christmas!

@75Immer thank God most people do. ( Did you notice the Indian boy in the choir, and there is a chinese one this year too) Not exactly multicultural, but its better than nothing.)

[75Immer]

Marvellous performance, for a marvellous location. Thank God some people out there do NOT think multi-culturalism is a great idea.

I close my eyes and I feel a peace that passes understanding, this is so beautiful!

@Mooseman327 It IS an all boy's choir.

@wallyts09 The use of choirboys in Christian liturgical music can be traced back to pre-Christian times. Saint Paul's dictum that "women should be silent in churches" (mulieres in ecclesiis taceant) resonated with this largely patriarchal tradition; the development of vocal polyphony from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance and Baroque thus took place largely, though not exclusively, in the context of the all-male choir, in which all voice parts were sung by men and boys.
