Thomas Tallis' "The Lamentations of Jeremiah" Sung by I Fagiolini
Composed four-and-a-half centuries ago for Tenebrae, the "religious service celebrated by the Western Church on the evening before or early morning of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, which are the last three days of Holy Week."

The Tallis is nice, but I don't know of any Tenebrae setting as hauntingly beautiful as the Gregorian one, which I shared a part of in a post from last year - said post also includes another piece you might like: a Tenebrae-inspired motet that Rudolf Mauersberger composed to honor the memory of those who died in the firebombing of Dresden, "Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst."
