Music Obsession of the Week:

Rufus Wainwright's version of the latin "Agnus Dei"



I've become intrigued with how many classical and catholic mass pieces are being reworked by contemporary artists. First, with Sufjan Steven's "Holy, Holy, Holy" and now Rufus Wainwright's version of this Agnus Dei. Rufus is hauntingly gorgeous on this song. He's approached it as some a protest song, begging god to forgive us our sins. Take a listen.
