As my original choice, In Terra Pax - Gerald Finzi (1901 - 1956) - seems to have sunk without trace, here's your bonus.
It's also entitled "In Terra Pax" but this Christmas album is performed by The Suspicious Cheese Lords. Go on, admit it, you're now torn between caution and curiosity. Well, let curiosity win.
The Suspicious Cheese Lords' name is derived from the title of the Tallis motet Suscipe quæso Domine. In the process of "translating" the title, an early Lord observed that "suscipe" looked rather like "suspicious", "quæso" was close to queso, the Spanish word for "cheese", and "Domine" is legitimately Latin for "Lord" (the actual translation is: "Receive, I beseech, O Lord"). Hence, "Suspicious Cheese Lord"—which in time became adopted as the group's name. While the whimsical name has served to draw attention to the group, it belies the group's decidedly serious musical sensibilities.
Happy wossname everyone.
