Do you search for uncommon religious music?

[SnowRose]

Lately I’ve found myself looking for divine music from other traditions than my own, reading translations of old hymns in several languages and comparing their worshipful musical traditions.
And no, I don’t mean soppy modern music. More classical and folklore.
It has expanded my appreciation of the range of devotion, and found some true gems.
Are there more musical explorers out there?

Thank you both, very sublime and enjoyable.

This is the first segment of the folkmusic Requiem I’m listening to in my car. It’s official enough that it’s being offered on occasion in our churches. It moves me because it fuses ’our’ music with the liturgical format, and takes the concept with new (but solemn and theologically acceptable) lyrics.
