Christian chanting, middle east, piping [sound recording]
notes: label: Notes
content: CDR copy- FW-ASCH-5RR-5988 consists primarily of unaccompanied religious chanting, probably by lay persons rather than clergy. The various tracks had apparently been recorded on separate occasions and spliced together. The lyrics are a mix of religious Latin, e.g., the terms Santa Maria, Christe, Sacramento, dolor, Senora, etc., and what sounds like a slavic language. Yet the scales used often sound Middle Eastern. The tape concludes with two bagpipe pieces.
