I agree. FWIW, here's a good performance of it:mike wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 8:14 amI sang once with a local ensemble that did some really nice pieces from that mass.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

I can't imagine what it must have been like to attend Bach's Lutheran church and have him bring in new original compositions every Sunday, which is what he did according to that article.

Re: What I appreciate about the Catholic Church
The son of a friend of mine, Beachy Amish, began attending Franciscan University in Ohio last fall, music major. He was warned by the registrar that the music program in particular was "really Catholic." He chose to attend anyway, partly due to it being within commuting distance from his house, and was recently surprised to be awarded the "St. Pope John Paul II Scholarship," covering the entirety of his tuition.

The young man must be truly gifted. I am pleased he received it to pay for his tuition. Those scholarships are open to non-Catholics as well.mike wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:50 am The son of a friend of mine, Beachy Amish, began attending Franciscan University in Ohio last fall, music major.

Re: What I appreciate about the Catholic Church
That is my mother's alma mater, although she went back when it was more of a "party school" before Fr Scanlan reformed it. Back then, it was known as "Steubie U.". Nowadays it is considered one of the most evangelical (in Catholic terms) and conservative colleges around.mike wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:50 am The son of a friend of mine, Beachy Amish, began attending Franciscan University in Ohio last fall, music major.

God willing, I will be enjoying visiting with some of the Franciscan faculty at the upcoming New Polity conference in May, where the topic is, "Should We, Therefore, Destroy the Servers?", although New Polity and Franciscan have no formal affiliation.

Re: What I appreciate about the Catholic Church
I've enjoyed singing Lloyd Kauffman's arrangement of selections from Schubert's Deutsche Messe.

Schubert is certainly a favorite of mine though I dare not attempt to sing it: if I did, the pigs might think they are being called home.ohio jones wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 1:41 pm I've enjoyed singing Lloyd Kauffman's arrangement of selections from Schubert's Deutsche Messe.
