This is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life.

Alongside this, I almost cried when I first heard it. Truly beautiful:

Just about anything by Palestrina, such as this:

I'm also partial to Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus:

This isn't traditional, but I love Biebl's Ave Maria:

My favourite is Adoro Te Devote. I also like the tune with the English translation done by Gerald Manley Hopkins, Godhead Here in Hiding. We sang this at Mass today so I am happy. :)

My preferences are strongly influenced by theological content, so I really like all of the St. Thomas Aquinas Eucharistic hymns. Corpus Christi is a good day for me.

The Beatles are certainly not orthodox Catholics but satanic idiots??? I do not believe that.

My apologies though for bringing secular music into the discussion.

BTW-- All 4 Beatles were(are) baptised Catholics.

That makes it worse. Their music was anti-Catholic but I do not want to derail this thread discussing it. The "satanic idiots" comment was actually pretty reasonable.

Early Beatles is much different from what comes after 1965. Possibly this later music could sometimes be described as anti-catholic. The v2 anti-church is on record endorsing the Beatles beginning with Revolver(1966). Think about that.

This was a great thread and I don't want to derail it. If you really want to discuss the Beatles, I would like us to start a new thread for it. What would be the most appropriate sub-forum?
