Track: El cant de la sibi.la
Artist: Maria del Mar Bonet
Music: Catholic/ Majorcan
Chosen by: Simon Furey (Wiltshire)
 ÌýÌýListen to clip from 'El cant de la sibi.la', album: 'Saba de Terrer' (BMG-Ariola 250265)
It has a really eerie sound to it, which goes well with the words. You can still hear it sung at Christmas Midnight Mass in the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca. It is a really spine-tingling experience.
'El jorn del judici/ parrà el qui haura fet servici...' It´s quite a long song, which can be summarised as 'On the Day of Judgement everyone shall be called to account.... The world will be destroyed.... The seas will dry up and make the fish scream.... Kings, Popes, lords and ordinary folk will be treated the same.... Many will be consigned to the flames of Hell.... Please, Baby Jesus, save us from this.'
Not quite your average Christmas carol!
