However, I'd completely disagree about 'any musical act of any kind' as early choral music is about as good as music gets. That the libretto is voiced in Latin helps this all along somewhat as the meaning of what they are singing about is not clear. For all I know, the gallous Mr Byrd might be causing his choirsters to sing something like
Yeah God, isn't he great?
Yeah.
No but seriously. He is.
Look at what he did.
Probably.
Yeah.
Fucken great dood.
but we are all left in the dark due to the fact that on the page at least it reads like the Rosetta Stone.

Surely that applies to any prog rock band, indeed any band, indeed any
musical act of any kind since primitive man first invented the art form
we call 'music.'
Discuss.
