I dont' know if anyone else would get as excited about this as me, but on
one of my frequent trips to the British Library Store, I found Music of the
Popes and Antipopes of the 13th century.
I worked at a bar in London part time while studying at the University of
Reading, and kept trying, with no avail, to "bring down the house" with the
Music of the Popes and Antipopes. Those people have no idea what they're
missing!
I also have The Best of Gregorian Chants, which is also great background
music when reading/writing about popes.
