So I was listening to Tallis' Salve Intemerata & wondered if there are other pieces like it. It's a bit hard to describe what I'm looking for, but that particular piece is really long (about 23 mins), not really fiery or spectacular, but more meditative or 'slow burn' as the title says. I guess other ones are Mundy's Vox Patris Caelestis & Victoria's Salve Regina. I think Obrecht's Maria Zart mass (70 mins?) is the same sort of sound but I haven't heard it all the way through. Here are samples of what I mean

I recently came by Heinrich Schütz's Musicalische Exequien recording. With his Die Sieben Worte, maybe this may fall into this category. The artists were Meunier and Hillier respectively.

New members need to know:
Nuhro is great work! It was perhaps the first work by Karl Henning that I had ever heard, and made me a fan of his efforts.
You might like the Byrd Four and Five part masses, definitely meditative pieces.

Nope - definitely not a slow burner - very beautiful and accessible straight away. Begone from this thread! ;)
For real slow burns, I would recommend going back earlier than anything so far suggested - Fayrfax, Ludford, John Browne or any of the other Eton Choirbook composers.
