1	Songs from the Labyrinth (2006) more music like this by Sting/Edin Karamazov Casual pronouncements are made every so often that the lute songs (the lute is a plucked stringed instrument, an early cousin to the guitar) and madrigals of Elizabethan and Jacobean England were the popular music of their day. And Sting, who alludes to the likes of Vladimir Nabokov in his lyrics, is hardly uneducated in the legacy of fine arts, ... see all copies from $12.39! new only from $13.39!
2	Mistletoe and Wine: A Seasonal Collection (2003) more music like this by The Mediæval Bæbes Nettwerk's offering for the 2003 holiday onslaught is from Great Britain's pagan/early music/sensualist ensemble the Mediæval Bæbes. Ex-Miranda Sex Garden leader Katharine Blake steers the group through 15 Latin, Welsh, Italian, French, and English -- as in Old English -- yuletide standards. All of the songs, except for "The Holly and the Ivy" and ... see all copies from $14.33! new only from $14.33!
3	Salva Nos (Save Us) (1998) more music like this by The Mediæval Bæbes What the Benedictine Monks did for chant, these group of vocal "honeys" hope to do for the secular songs of the Middle Sges. While the work here is adequate, the Anonymous 4 have kept this music alive with a much greater sense of musicality for many years. This is a more pop-oriented approach to this vocal canon. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.50! new only from $14.22!
4	Elizabeth (1998) more music like this by David Hirschfelder Composer David Hirschfelder's soundtrack to the film Elizabeth nicely evokes the spirit of the era to which this British monarch lent her name; the music also proves adept at capturing the picture's drama and intrigue without the bombast which so often sinks scores of this kind. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.74! new only from $12.07!
5	Christmas Music From Medieval Hungary (2001) more music like this by Anonymous 4 see all copies from $4.50! new only from $7.88!
6	Worldes Blysse (1999) more music like this by The Mediaeval Baebes The 12-member vocal group Mediaeval Baebes make their US debut with Worldes Blysse, a collection of ethereal, haunting music that bridges the gaps between pop, new age, and classical music. Songs like "Kinderly" reveal why the group performed at the 1999 Lillith Fair. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.60! new only from $14.22!
7	The Rose (2002) more music like this by The Mediæval Bæbes The Mediæval Bæbes' fourth album, The Rose, stays close to the band's magical stories of Old and Middle English, but with a romance that's sweetly aged and mysterious. Katharine Blake and her eight singing sisters are enchanting on this album, a fantastic cut above 1999's Worldes Blysse due to their pleasurable soundscapes of medieval Welsh and ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $14.33!
8	Mirabilis (2005) more music like this by The Mediæval Bæbes The Mediaeval Baebes combine elements of Western European myth and folkloric tradition with linguistic fancy and overdone sensualism. An example of the latter: in photos the octet will stand at the threshold of a leafy green forest, like an artisan's glistening porcelain figurines fashioned to please the provincial lord. On the other hand they'll ... see all copies from $11.88! new only from $14.33!
9	Hildegard Von Bingen: 11,000 Virgins (1997) more music like this by Anonymous 4 Anonymous 4's Hildegard Von Bingen: 11,000 Virgins finds the quartet performing a selection of songs by the 12th Century composer Von Bingen, who wrote music for and about Saint Ursula and her companions the 11,000 Virgins. The music is a moving, powerful update of traditional Gregorian chants as sung by a contemporary female quartet and it is one ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $4.95!

He plays Aztec and Mayan flutes, drums, and percussion and is backed up by four additional percussionists. Yxayotl composed each of the ten tracks here and each is a tone poem in honor of some aspect of Meso ... see all copies from $11.48! new only from $14.19!
12 view cover	Undrentide (2000) more music like this by The Mediæval Bæbes The 12 brazen female musicians in Mediaeval Baebes have kept their vivacious demeanors on Undrentide, the follow-up to 1999's Worldes Blysse. Undrentide features production work from John Cale as former Miranda Sex Garden frontwoman Katherine Blake leads this British troupe into soundscapes of electronica and hums of orchestral backdrops. The ... see all copies from $12.37! new only from $13.81!

20 view cover	Passage 138 B.C.-A.D. 1611 (1994) more music like this by Empire Brass Quintet Many people do not realize that the major and minor keys are but vestiges of a system of eight modes devised by the ancient Greeks. The composition of music in the West was dominated by this system for 1100 years, from circa 400 C.E. to 1500 C.E., although it originated earlier and lasted longer in some places. On this disc, Empire Brass Quintet ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.54!
21 view cover	Gregorian Chillout [EMI] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Gregorian monks regained their hipness, lost for centuries, in the early '90s, when the even-tempered, church-hall echo of their chants graced Enigma's hit single "Sadeness." In the wake of Enigma's success, chant collections were suddenly everywhere. The ascent of the term "chill-out" happened around the same time, although its roots lay in rave ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $13.00!

25 view cover	A Star in the East (1996) more music like this by Anonymous 4 Anonymous Four's Star in the East lives up to the group's legacy of classy releases, offering a selection of 20 classical carols, chants and hymns. It's certainly not mainstream holiday music, but it is intensely spiritual, unusual and rewarding, and it is worthwhile for anyone seeking something a little different.
