A friend told me about a CD of plain song he had bought that was made by the Convent of the Poor Clares at Arundel so I found it on YouTube.

It is beautiful and very soothing, especially as background music.

On our way to the jab place, OH mentioned that he could not get 'O Joyful Redeemer' out of his head.

We used to have street cred, I am sue we must have had some. Now we just have plain song repeating in our heads!

I like the Gregorian chant, Kyrie Eleison.

There's even a 'jazzed up' version of it by Mister Mister which I really like.

Just listened to part of that Allan - very nice, thank you.

I remember the first time I heard a Gregorian chant in a cathedral. I was just passing through during rehearsals and I sat listening for a while.

Now, I have to ask Sharron, is it still stuck there? :-S

Also listen to Dame Hildegard of Bingen. I have a couple of CD's containing her Chants.

Not personally recorded by her I hasten to add before some silly b*gger gets in first.

I don't know if it is stuck there JoyLouise.

We don't share a head and I don't really like to ask what he keeps in his!
