New album share on splusp

   
A parody of a song is a new song with different words to the original melody. Making parodies is almost as old as making songs. Today we think of a parody as a song that makes fun of it's original, but that is not the only meaning of the word. Writing religious parodies to originally non-religious music and vice versa goes back to at least the middle ages. Johan Sebastian Bach even used to recycle his own secular work in his religious cantates this way. So there's nothing weird about the following album.
It's well within the tradition of religious music and it's one of the better in the amateur choir genre.
