if you want to start "Light" I suggest the small groups. Chanticleer, King's Singers, Anonymous 4, Tapestry, etc.
The former two are male voices, the latter two are female voices. For mixed voice choirs Alamire, Boston Camerata, Monteverdi Choir
Why yes, I do like Early Music, but most of the groups also do contemporary music.

Tomas Thallis - Spem in Alium

Not sure if this has the original planned 40 singers but some CDs do. The effect is stunning.
Tomas Luis de Victoria and Palestrina offer similar works.
Whilst they are all sacred works they are in Latin and unintelligible to me so just come across as a fabulous use of voices.
The Harry Christophers Sixteen also record interesting material.

Best choral piece I have ever heard. Available on CD I believe, maybe SACD too.

This is all excellent and cannot believe its been a year.
Kind of gave up when I thought my kit could not resolve the material.
Since all the recent kit improvements, its time to get back into it.
The room has been torn apart, painted and reduced the clutter some more so to speak.
There will be some cabinetry showing up this weekend to hold the vinyl. Once in place, the journey for the right position for the Maggies will start all over again, then the Choral discovery will resume.
Leaning towards material that is chantish(my made up word)/medative/haunting multi layered, do not know enough about it to know what to call it!
This is awesome guys/gals thanks.
