Ambient electronica, chillout dance beats, ethereal vocals or occasionally harp. Feel free to livestream/record any of these in internet church services.
Abbess was the composer in residence for the Visions creative multimedia collective and church service in York from 1991-2010. She then went to work for Leeds Minster before moving South to Winchester Cathedral. Now she is working for the Transcendence Trust. A few years ago she added some free downloads of settings of ancient songs used in the mornng prayer liturgy. Abbess' music ranges from classically influenced chill-out pieces through trip hop to departures into the land of techno. Feel free to use the mixes and/or words in a non-profit church service situation, and let her know if they liked it!

Story behind the song
I have always been facinated by Latin chants and ancient masses. It gives a sense of history and trancendence, and I enjoy mixing the ancient and the technological. This is what I tried to do in this song. Take an ancient fragment of chant (in the public domain!) and make a totally new song out of it.
Lyrics
Vita Vite Omnis Creature (Life of the life of all creation) Life within creation Loving fiery flame Strength within my being Come to me Veni spiritus, Sancte Spiritus (Come Spirit, Holy Spirit)
