It's so hard to say, dani! So here's my list in no particular order. But of course I reserve the right to change my mind later when I accidentally over listen to any of these song. :roll:
  1. Attendite
  2. Beata Lux
  3. Stay with Me
  4. Libera
  5. Vespera
  6. Dreaming of home
  7. Be Still My Soul
  8. Joyful Joyful
  9. Adoramus
  10. Lead Kindly Light
  11. Sancta
  12. Sanctissima
  13. Salva Me
  14. Sanctus 2
  15. The Prayer
  16. Wings of a Dove (from Visions)
  17. Lullaby
  18. Ave Virgo

    And since I am at #18 but can have 20 songs on my list :wink: , I would also love to hear these Christmas songs live. Obviously they are not going to be on a regular concert list, but I just love their versions of these classic Christmas pieces. Especially Wexford Carol from Armagh with the classical guitar! In fact I would love to hear more arrangements with the classical guitar as I am a fan of that instrument.
  19. Angels We Have Heard On High
  20. Wexford Carol

Thanks Dani, about time we had another one of these. Interesting to look at other people's lists. My list would be heavy on the older stuff as I think RP's originals are real masterpieces (pretty much just do a concert based on songs from the first three albums for me), but I decided to pick something off every album (UK release, not compilations). Interesting that other lists feature mainly later stuff (perhaps I'm just odd for preferring the Latin based chants (don't answer that please Dani)) :

1. Salva Me
2. Mysterium
3. Lux Aeterna (all 6 mins please and with a good back row of older boys for the men's part)
4. Vespera
5. Ave Maria (Caccini version)
6. Silencium
7. Stabat
8. Stay With Me
9. Voca Me
10. Lament
11. Be Still My Soul
12. We Are The Lost
13. Far Away
14. Love And Mercy
15. Time
16. The Fountain
17. Carol Of The Bells
18. Danny Boy
19. Wexford Carol
20. Wayfaring Stranger

So many that had to be cut and ones that I couldn't include (such as Dreaming of Home) which have yet to make it on to an album.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

LOL, no I wasn't worried about the Christmas thing, more that somebody would count it amongst their favourite songs! :lol:

Thanks for your support maartendas!

I remember reading posts on this forum several years ago (It was February 2010, actually) when the mini Ben version of Exsultate was released. While several people really enjoyed it then, several others (including Yorkie) didn't much care for it.

Oh well, hoe meer alles verandert, hoe meer het hetzelfde blijft.

I'm nothing if not consistent (and in this case right) :lol:

You need to look at the lists again, it's on half of them!
