This is joyous music by Gabrieli, Bach, Handel and Monteverdi, as well as an excerpt from the glorious Russian Easter liturgy. So uplifting you cannot help but be moved.

The first sample is a kyrie by Giovanni Gabrieli, performed in the Basilica San Marco where he conducted in Venice. The second sample is from the Easter Liturgy performed in the St Sergius Monastery at Zagorsk, the stronghold of Russian Orthodoxy
