> PIG LATIN II: What might Black Sabbath, the heavy metal band that featured Ozzy Osbourne, have sounded like if it had made its appearance during the Middle Ages? Rondellus, an Estonian medieval music group, imagines such a sound in a tribute album tn Black Sabbath. Sung in Latin, sometimes a cappella and other times with period instruments, the CD Sabbatum offers stunning renditions of such Black Sabbath classics as "War Pigs" (now as relevant as ever) and "A Hard Road." If your musical tastes run to the period around 1400, you might consider this one, even if you disdain heavy metal music (www.Sabbatum.com).
