And for something completely different, try this: Izar Ederrak (Beautiful Star) - it's in Basque (Spain) and we were provided with a translation and a pronunciation guide. What any Basque speakers would make of our singing ... let's hope there are none in the audience! The song grows on you after a while.
I don't generally embrace religious viewpoints (including Wierwille's, despite his claim his is not religious) but the influence of music as a powerful art and human expression of spirituality captures me (and I respond emotionally every time) every year at this time when I hear the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.
here's the Hallelujah Chorus portion of Handel's Messiah.

My choral group is putting on a concert this coming Saturday. This is a carol you probably won't have heard. It was composed by one of our singers.

This song (not this arrangement which much newer than when I was in school) was one of my favorites in high school when I was singing in choirs.
