Early Music
 
So I found a large quantity of Early Music, ranging from ancient Greece through to the Baroque.  Here’s a small sample.  The first track is a Paean from ancient greece.  The second is a Byzantine chant, and the third is a medieval German rendition of Psalm 116.  The painting is by Jan van Eyck, and is located in the Detroit Institute of the Arts. It depicts St Jerome, responsible for the Latin Vulgate bible.
