What we have lost. Remember this?
Beautiful music with some good
scenery . . .
The
most beautiful rendition of Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus
Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvFUw9HvRf8
“Up to 1970, when Mass was in Latin and
celebrated with devotion and reverence, this was often sung by the choir during
the distribution of Holy Communion, as the congregation came forward to kneel
at the Altar rails to receive the Bread of Life. Nowadays, our parish choir is
long since disbanded, the organ gathers dust, and our parish priest tells those
of us who still come to Mass to bring out song books with us so we can keep
singing some happy clappy rhyme as we queue up to be handed Communion by a school
girl as he stands there waving his arms to encourage us to sing. The
spirit which inspired Mozart and other great composers to set these devotional
texts to music to beautify our worship has long been lost in the Catholic
church.”
To get people to church,
get rid of the guitars and play this music. Restore the Liturgy!
