Maybe you could give us some good Catholic chants, Tir?

There is one problem with me here:
> I am bad with memorizing names and lyrics.
> I am superb in recalling tunes and melodies.

So I recall very vividly the rhythm and sound of the music...and totally forget the lyrics and especially the title of the song it is appended and attached to.
...So not really I do recall some very good chants for all, but then...that one bit.

Give [us] peace, Lord, in our days
For there is no other who will protect us
If not you, our God

Dies Irae is probably the most famous example. With high vocals or without.

There is indeed a slight difference in the two pictures if you look hard enough,

[Orange Wizard]

Yeah, the angle's different. The second picture was taken standing on the opposite side of the spire - that big scaffolding thingy is in front of the main doors.

[Remalle]

Ooh, are we talking about sacred music?  That's my specialty!
Have some Gabrielli.

Korean!

[Sinistar]

There something French about you, Remalle.

[Comrade P.]

I say Genghis Khan. It's always Genghis Khan.

[scrdest]

There something French about you, Remalle.

I'd go with something vaguely Mediterranean, too.

[Knit tie]

Mainland French, I'd say.
