  I was looking for more piano Christmas music on Amazon one day and ran across a group called "Anonymous 4" who sing medieval choral music. I bought their Noel set from Barnes & Nobles for $20 (it's $20 on their website as well, $50.49 on Amazon, so go BN if you want to buy it). The booklet that comes with the CDs tells where the words came from, where the tunes came, the lyrics, and the translation. You can hear a piece of all the songs at Amazon.

  Disc 1: Legends of St. Nicholas: Medieval European Chant and Polyphony 
  Disc 2: Wolcum Yule: Celtic and British Songs and Carols
  Disc 3: On Yoolis Night: Medieval Carols and Motets
  Disc 4: A Star in the East: Medieval Hungarian Christmas Musis

  As I said, I've purchased this CD set and while I haven't gotten all the way through it, it's absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of traditional Church music. It's mostly choral, but does use an Irish harp, Baroque harp, and psaltery (don't know what it is, but it's listed with the instruments) on some songs.

  I won't be out in the park this week, but I'll bring it with me next week if anyone wants to look through the book. 

   - Alasa, who kept going to Church for years just because of the music
