All the way back to the minstrels of the original Troubadours.

What about before that though? I'm hoping to hear the music of the music of the Ancient Egyptian Sun Priests and the Beaker People and Bogomils as well as the diverse sounds going down at the court of Alfonso El Sabio. In heaven I'd hope to hear the first music that ever stirred in the hearts of humanity hundreds of thousands of years before the Troubadours.

Talking of Troubadours though have a look at THIS - 7.19 in you get RENE ZOSSO singing Farai Un Vers by Guillem de Peitieu. How's that for heaven?

Seriously though - for those of us without religion heaven is vinyl. If ever you're near Carlisle be sure to check out the antiquarian & classical CD shop near the cathedral. The vaults are stuffed with old vinyl - mostly classical - with the old safe room (complete with old safe) devoted to Early Music - endless David Munrow boxsets! Overpriced maybe, but a vaunted heaven all the same.
