Just a taste. On the universal liturgical calendar Nov. 22, for Latin rite Catholics, is the feast of St. Cecilia (typical edition of the Roman Missal).
The music here is what is special. The Mass was by G.P. da Palestrina (Exsultate Deo, etc.) and the choir was the "Pueri Cantores" of Rome.
The Comune of Rome gave in homage the chalice as a gift which was presented by Rome's new mayor.
Mass was sung by His Eminence Tomas Card. Spidlik over the tomb of S. Cecilia.

Well, listening to that singing, it's clear that at least in one thing the has been no change since the Council - that choir is still dreadful!
i guess i should have come a week earlier!
