I managed to find, just to name one, LUX AURUMQUE

another could be SLEEP, or even WATER NIGHT

the list is long: online I found a collection of mp3s of songs for a cappella choir

or for choir accompanied by small chamber ensembles.

i must say....we are not talking about an exalted composer but he has also made some small

pearls of refined craftsmanship!

interesting!

Dovresti provare con Morten Lauridsen o Arvo Pärt
