What music are you listening to?

I have always liked Lindisfarne and Steeleye Span. I still often listen to Fighting for Strangers. It never fails to send a shiver down my backbone.

 
I might've posted this before (it was on the radio earlier today (Valentines Day)::

In case it's taken down, the video is/was Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac (it's the video from The Dance, 1997.)

This song shares a title with a Pink Floyd song, but that's about it:

In case it's taken down, it's Wish You Were Here by Bliss (Pink Floyd has/had a "hit" by the same title several decades ago, as the OFs know oh so well...)

I like European classical music, vocal and instrumental.

I love the vocal music of the 16th and 17th century. Of course, all sacred music is Christian; the only accepted religion in that time. There’s a lot more vocal music I like, also from other periods, but these are certainly among my favourites:

Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585):
Spem in Alium

Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652):
Miserere Mei, Deus

Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630)
Aus Israels Brünnelein: Unser Leben währet 70 Jahr

Dietrich Buxtehude (c.1637-1707):
Membra Jesu Nostri, BuxWV 75 – 6: Ad cor

Henry Purcell (1659-1695) / Sven-David Sandström (1942-2019)
Hear My Prayer, O Lord


Besides, I like instrumental music, above all chamber music, of which I chose as favourites:
