LOL! You just like it because it has the letters "E" and "Q" in it...

I recommend a group I just discovered tonight: Adiemus. It's very new agey, with African and Celtic inspired backdrop for upbeat female chorals. It is some of the most uplifting and joyous music I have ever heard.

It DOES seem like lots of people are suggesting Requiems...

Eric Whitacre - Complete Acapella Works

His Choral stuff is just as stunning as his wind band pieces.

Aww. I was hoping to be the first one to recommend that.

Anyone who's interested in hearing choral music based on overtones of the harmonic series should buy Complete Acapella Works right now. Seriously. It will make your ears tingle.

This particular disc is sung by the BYU Singers, who have some of the best intonation and clearest tone (non-vibrato) I've ever heard (for a college-aged choir). If you prefer more mature tone and pronunciation, you might like the Hyperion release from the choral group Polyphony, Eric Whitacre: Cloudburst and other choral works

MP3 samples from the publisher of the BYU disc can be found here: https://tantararecords.securesites.c...=catalog&i=102
