A question for the New Year.
I hope yours was and remains a happy one, not so by the way.
For the musically-inclined with a deeper knowledge of Catholic music (Aristotle, Matthew especially welcome):
Is there the equivalent of a good Palestrina box set out there? If not, any other recommendations? One of my presents was a one-CD compilation of various of his works, and I'm happy to say I'm hooked. More remarkably, so are the kids, who appreciate it much more than I could have imagined. I think the harmonies have sucked them in, but no matter. Anything to show them that their musical heritage is not limited to corporate picnic karaoke...but I digress.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Ditto on the works of Olivier Messaien, too.
Thanks in advance!

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
