Music to emulate a harpy's captivating song?

[NewJeffCT]

I was thinking of using some music at the table to emulate a harpy's captivating song? Any suggestions? Something female and a capella, I would guess, so that rules out Metallica...

Thanks

Something by Diane Arkenstone, I would imagine.

Fifth Element's alien singer chick. Get the soundtrack. Use her performance song.

It's a pity Khaled's song "Alech Taadi" isn't on that soundtrack (the music in the taxi/cop chase scene). Still, Khaled has some great music, so investing in one of his releases like N'ssi N'ssi is well worth the investment.

Although I can't point you to any a cappella links, I think you should check out Sissel Kyrkjebø, the norwegian singer.

I recently ran a harpy encounter and I described the music one way for those who made their save (cacaphous strangling straining screams of hateful mourning) and another way for those that didn't (melifluous mermaid song that echoes reassuring reverberations across the water).

On a more serrious note I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Loreena McKennitt. Its not quite acappela but it is close and very haunting.
