So Sad (Gregorian Song)
"So Sad" is the debut single recorded by German band Gregorian. It was written and produced by Frank Peterson, and is from the album ''Sadisfaction'' (1991), on which it appears as the third track. The song is composed of Gregorian chants using biblical verses while in the chorus a woman is asking Jesus Christ why she is so sad. In the music video, she first enters a church, then becomes a nun. The song was included on Gregorian's best of compilation titled '' Best of 1990–2010'', released in 2011, on which it appears as the first track. It became a hit in France and Portugal. Cricial reception According to Elia Habib, an expert of the French chart, "So Sad" is a more pop-oriented song than Enigma's ones, on which Peterson also worked, as the chorus is sung in English in a very contemporary phrasing. When reviewing the new singles releases, ''Music & Media'' stated: "It's hard to tell the difference ith Enigma although this time there is the choice of a Monastery Sex Mix". ...

Enigma (German Band)
Enigma is a German musical project founded in 1990 by Romanian-German musician and producer Michael Cretu. Cretu had released several solo records, collaborated with various artists, and produced albums for his then-wife, German pop singer Sandra, before he conceived the idea of a new-age, worldbeat project. He recorded the first Enigma studio album, '' MCMXC a.D.'' (1990), with contributions from David Fairstein and Frank Peterson. The album remains Enigma's most successful, helped by the international hit single "Sadeness (Part I)", which sold twelve million units alone. According to Cretu, the inspiration for the creation of the project came from his desire to make a kind of music that did not obey "the old rules and habits" and presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components. Enigma followed '' MCMXC a.D.'' with a series of albums that involved several musicians and producers working with Cretu. The first was ''The Cross of Changes'' (199 ...

Song Recordings Produced By Frank Peterson
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...
