Sony
An album entitled Paschale Mysterium was issued as a vinyl record in 1977; it was re-released by Sony Records in 1998. The music was sung by the German choir Capella Antiqua München directed by its regular conductor Konrad Ruhland .
Several samples of the album were used without permission for the album MCMXC a.D. by Enigma . An example is the antiphon "Procedamus in pace! " which was used in the track "Sadeness (Part I) ". The track appeared as a single in late 1990, shortly before the album was released. After a lawsuit in 1994, compensation was paid.
