Well - it is the Benedictus from a Mass - I would guess Palestrina's Missa
Papae Marcelli - but I may be wrong. Sounds very familiar but I am
familiar with a lot of them. Don't recognise the singers.

Not specifically about lutes, I'm afraid, but probably of interest to
some members of this list. I forward the message which was sent to me
this afternoon. I would be interested to know what the music is.

This is the most amazing link (at the bottom of this email). When it
opens, just move the mouse slowly around the whole room. Just touch
the plus sign in the left corner and you can see the paintings up
close. Just like being there. Right click and choose full screen.
Make sure your sound is on. The music is out of this world!
Play with the mouse and move this around and increase, decrease the
size.....makes you dizzy. This is amazing..
Pretty neat - it will get you dizzy if you are not careful. Use your
Mouse to slide and roll for a very interesting full tour of the Sistine
Chapel. Hold your cursor down on right side of screen and slowly move
pictures around. Amazing sight.
TO VIEW EVERY PART OF THE MICHAEL ANGELO'S MASTERPIECE,
JUST CLICK AND DRAG YOUR ARROW IN THE DIRECTION YOU WISH TO SEE.
MOVE THE CURSOR SLOWLY!!!
In the lower left corner, click on the plus to move closer, on the
minus to move away.
This virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel is incredible. Apparently done
by Villanova at the request of the Vatican...
