Most beautiful sounding language: Latin. My ear is trained. Shoot me if I am wrong. Here is evidence (repost). Latin has what I call internal rhyme, caused by word endings. Compound nouns and their modifiers have the same-sounding endings. One can see this in the title of the video. Latin relies heavily on the consonant sounds, k (which includes qu and x), l, m, and n. Whenever one vocalizes the letters m and n, humming is going on, as in quemquam, which means anyone. Pilate: Non sum. I am not. Jesus: Ego sum. I am.
Nova Schola Gregoriana, Alberto Turco - Director, is a group devoted to the study of Gregorian chant, basing its work on the research of scholars such as Dom Eugene Cardine, Dom Jean Claires, Luigi Agustoni, and Alberto Turco. Winning international acclaim for its performances, the Schola was awarded the Golden Orpheus of the Paris Academie Nationale du Disque Lyrique, Fundacion J. Canteloube in 1987. The two tenors on this recording are the best I've ever heard.
