Well I don't know if anyone here is aware, but out of curiosity, I attended a Russian Orthodox service in my city a week or so ago.
The music was simply astounding. I'm not sure that it will ever be matched by humanity of any age.

You won't believe it until you hear it.

Thanks for that option though- I changed my vote from "other" to the Orthodox/Byzantine option, plus the obvious Gregorian and polyphonic.

[zunshynn]

Polyphonic is definitely my favorite, and then Gregorian chant (Gregorian took me a lot longer to take a liking to though) and Byzantine follows close behind.

Nobody is going to laugh ever again until they click my link.

Gee, you guys make things so complicated.

I was going to say "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" by Bach.

Or almost anything played by an outstanding organist on an outstanding organ.

[ThePenciledOne]

I generally like all kinds, but those that are played at more charismatic services would be my favorite. : )

Hillsong United is an example of some good music for that sort of thing in a sense, they are fantastic musicians.

I totally agree with you, ThePenciledOne. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJGQ60MqQg&feature=related"]This[/url] is a great example of awesome liturgical music.

Um, ok.

I was thinking of [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbGgA2lIDjc"]this[/url], but of course not in a concert hall obviously, I enjoy those instruments, and the lyrics are excellent.

[Era Might]

I love Melkite chant.

Triddy Trad, you are epic. That's my fav. Palestrina Motet. I've got all three parts memorised.

I voted Polyphony, Gregorian Chant, Byzantine and Gospel. Technically I could vote instrumental, too, since I'm a Bach fan

Why is this not a public poll?

It is a public poll.

The Polish parish in my diocese has a polka Mass a couple of times each year. I've never been, but I've heard it ROCKS!

Aha! Must have missed that.

Well now I can silently yet ruthlessly mock those who support untraditional music.

[Nihil Obstat]

Of course it's MIkolbe voting for jazz Masses.
