journeyman Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 [quote name='Tata126' date='Jan 27 2006, 07:02 PM']I sang (Schubert's) Ave Maria for my sister's wedding, but Bach's version is definitely the most reverent and sacred of the ones written for solo voice, at least, that I've heard. And OH so much harder to sing. Victoria's Ave Maria is my favorite - my choir sings it, and it builds off the chant, and it's incredible. I can't find a place on the internet where you can listen to it, but if anybody'd like to hear it, send me a message and I'll email it or send it over AIM or something.

I'd like to hear it, but my dial up connection and audo files don't go well together

That's an old school African American tune that I think goes back to slave times or something. Anyway, its not in the same category as the Table O' Plenty type crrrap. IMHO In the traditional African-American spiritual style that song really works. The nasally white dude with show-tunes style piano playing and a congregation of people who couldn't sing if their life depended on it don't really pull it off. The popular "hymns" these days are more like cheap jingles. I have more appreciation for a lot of t.v. show theme songs. [right][snapback]868393[/snapback][/right] [/quote] exactly the experience of our parish . . . we would be the "people who couldn't sing if their life depended on it" not really pulling it off
Old_Joe Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 recently, the accompanist forgot to show up so the cantor had to sing all by herself. What was really funny was that the congregation actually sang more without the piano acompaniment
photosynthesis Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 [quote name='1337 k4th0l1x0r' date='Jan 27 2006, 05:34 PM']First off, when we first met with her, we told her we liked more traditional music and that I can't stand the variation for Lamb of God (Bread of Life, Prince of Peace, King of Beers, etc.). [right][snapback]867953[/snapback][/right] [/quote] ugh, i hate when people do that... although i guess if Jesus is the King of Kings then he is also the King of Beers... [quote name='Old_Joe' date='Jan 28 2006, 12:58 AM']I'm surprised no one mentioned "O God beyond all praising." I went to a mass once where one of the songs went something like: "Pharoh... pharoh.... Let my people go." I thought it came from a musical. [right][snapback]868358[/snapback][/right] [/quote] it probably did. [quote name='Laudate_Dominum' date='Jan 28 2006, 01:34 AM']Does anyone know the lyrics to [i]We Come To Tell His Story[/i]? [right][snapback]868381[/snapback][/right] [/quote] i thought it was "We come to share our stories" [quote name='missionseeker' date='Jan 28 2006, 01:49 AM']It's not a good Good Friday thing.... [right][snapback]868396[/snapback][/right] [/quote] sure it is. I love "Were you there." even though we weren't all there bodily, we were there spiritually and it is fitting on Good Friday to reflect upon one's own sinfulness that caused Christ's death.
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 [quote name='photosynthesis' date='Jan 28 2006, 12:54 AM']i thought it was "We come to share our stories" [right][snapback]868433[/snapback][/right] [/quote] oh, even better. *throws up*
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 [i]We come to share our stories We come to break the bread We come to know our rising from the dead.[/i] What religion is that? My first guess would not be Catholicism.
benedictaj Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 lol. When I was at Hearts Aflame (10 day summer school) we sang AWESOME songs at Mass. For one, the chorus went "Eya et eya, gregia et egregia, gaudiat eccelesia!" it was great! Also, we had a musical director there who loved real liturgical music - no Here I am Lord's and no One bread, one Bodys, and ones like that. I was utterly spoiled musically at Hearts. (On Sundays, the Mass was even chanted ) and we chanted Lauds, Vespers and Compline..... I also a hymn that goes like this: "Gaudete, gaudete, Christus est natus, ex Maria Virgine, Gaudete..." (I can't remember the rest.) I love "Jesus my Lord, my God and my All" and I love the usual songs at Benediction. And I love a version of the St Francis song "All highest glorious God, cast your light into the darkness of my heart. Give me right faith, firm hope, perfect charity, and profound humility, with wisdom and perception oh Lord, that I may do what is truly Your holy Will." - although, this one is best praise and worship (not that I'm into P&W, its just the song wouldn't really suit Mass.)
Norseman82 Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 So, did anyone bring any gifts that differed and sing any new churches into being this weekend????
