Depending upon what country you studied it in and also (if you studied
it in the US), whether it was in a public or parochial school. It makes
for occasional double takes from listeners to settings of the Mass or
other religious texts like the Requiem (also a mass) and Stabat Mater
and Bach's Magnificat, for example.

There's a 3-CD album by Archives (Reprise R2 79831), which I may have
gotten from Berkshire, containg many if not all of TL's songs, many
more than once. The Vatican Rag, appears only on the third disk.
