“The uplifting sound of an 80-voice Gospel Choir will ring out across the stadium.”
I’m sure he’ll love this?. Protestant music!
So much for reverence and a truly Roman Catholic Mass.

““Ave Verum” by Mozart”.
The only piece he will probably like
Any “Gregorian Chant”?.
I guess “Pride of Place” in the US goes to Gospel Music not Gregorian Chant!.

They’re “performing” the music? I wasn’t aware the Mass was a performance - I thought music was a form of prayer. I pray people will have the sense not to clap…
Strange how they claim to be representing the diversity of the Church, but they’ve left out Gregorian Chant - the highest music of the Church. Protestant music gets pride of place, of course…

I’m sure the liberal Bishops and Cardinals, will be jumping up and down right in front of him.
The FSSP should be organizing the Mass!. If the USCCB were smart!

A huge embarrisment for the US Church to the Holy Father. Gospel and contemporary music at the Mass.

now thats taking it a little too far…I attend the TLM every week and of course would MUCH prefer Gregorian chant, but we have not been yet. We have not seen yet, we can not judge yet.
I’m looking forward to going because when it comes down to it, it is a Mass offered for God, celebrated by the Pope.

I wasn’t being serious, but you get my meaning. The American Catholic hierarchy does what it pleases. They obviously didn’t read the Popes books on the liturgy.

Robert LeBlanc is a Benedictine priest at our nearby Abbey. We have sung “Spirit of God” for years using copies of his original manuscript. It is a contemplative hymn and worthy of being sung at a Papal Mass.

If it’s worthy. Then why isn’t it sung at the Papal Masses at the Vatican?. And a TLM at a Cathedral in the US is worthy for the Pope as well. But I don’t see it happening. The Benedictines in this country were also unfortunately affected by post V2 liturgical abuses as well, with the exception being Clear Creek Monastery. Which still uses Gregorian Chant most of the time. I contacted St Vincent’s Archabbey in LaTrobe PA, a few years back, and asked them about Gregorian Chant and if they sung it. They basically told me to I’d have to go to Spain if I wanted to hear Gregorian Chant. Their finally learning it and using it now.

Rest assured it is worthy. I wouldn’t say it if I hadn’t sung in a cathedral choir for 20+ years. I know all too well the difference between Haugen/Haas and something like this. Spirit of God is almost plainsong.
As for a TLM at a cathedral - I have hope. Our rector has asked me if I would sing in a Schola (yes) and I told him I would also be willing to serve. We shall see.

Clear Creek was not established until this past decade, so it is not a matter of “still” using chant; they were established for that purpose in recent years.

Hello,
I just came across this forum. I noticed questions on the Papal Mass hymns and songs. Probably by now the complete list of music is out, but I wanted to note that the songs listed in the adw release all are sung between 8:30 - 10am (a long prelude, to be sure) and not during the Mass. The opening hymn (O Holy Spirit By Whose Breath) uses the Lasst Uns Erfreuen tune (same as "All Creatures Of Our God And King). Yes, there will also be a few chants during the mass (Gloria, Lord’s Prayer, Ubi Caritas) as well as some traditional hymns (Pange Lingua, Panis Angelicus). The service music will be from the Mass of Creation. Please keep in mind that the DC Papal choir is made up of a large segment of amateur singers from many parishes around Washington. We’ve had a total of six rehearsals (our last one will be Wednesday at the stadium) to learn about thirty songs, with soloists and orchestra to boot! I have been blown away by the talent and hard work all of the musicians have displayed, but even more so by their spirituality and reverence for what we are here for: to lead 45K+ in prayer. Maybe if we’d had six months to prepare, a more challenging repetoire would have been in order (although I feel challenged enough already thank you!). When you hear the prelude and liturgical music on Thursday, I think you will hardly believe that most of the singers had never even met before March 2008! My hope is that besides enjoyment, it will inspire everyone in their worship. Of course, choirs aim for that target at every mass. This is just on a larger scale!
Raise a joyful noise to the Lord! God Bless!
