Hello Stewart,
If you like this type of music, you may want to try Pandora Internet
Radio.
Go to [1]www.pandora.com and set up a free account.
Then choose the Create a New Station link and put in "Palestrina".
This will get you excerpts from Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, ca
1525 - 1594, and other composers in a similar style of music.
I like listening to this style of Christian sacred music before
attending church on Sunday. It really sets my mood for worship, and
I'm not Roman Catholic. I'm Lutheran; that's almost interchangeable!
Thanks for the link. I've not really seen the entire Sistine Chapel in
one panoramic view before.

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...
