See if you can see what music they use at the Masses you go to.Yes, and we are spending about four-five days in Rome as well! So excited! So much walking though, but I bet that it’ll be worth it.

I have to say that I don’t like the music that they did for the First Holy Communion Mass.I just found the programs for the Mass of First Holy Communion and the Mass of Confirmation for my church from this year. Here is the music they had:
Mass of First Holy Communion—Saturday, May 14, 2011
Entrance: You Have Called Us Farrell
Gospel Acclamation: Celtic Alleluia Walker
Offertory: Though We Are Many
Post–Communion: The Wonders I See
Recessional: Take the Word of God with You Walker
Mass of Confirmation—Tuesday, May 3, 2011
Entrance: Come, Holy Ghost LAMBILLOTTE
Gospel Acclamation: Celtic Alleluia Walker
Offertory: Here I Am, Lord Schutte
Yeah, our contemporary guitar-and-drums group did those Masses. The Mass setting they use is not that good and probably not allowed. I don’t know what it’s called, and I don’t really want to know what it is; that’s how bad it is. :banghead:I have to say that I don’t like the music that they did for the First Holy Communion Mass.
Here’s what they did at my parish’s First Communion:
Sunday, May 1, 2011—Second Sunday of Easter: Feast of the Divine Mercy and Octave Day of Easter—Year A
Processional Hymn: #183 Three Days THAXTED
Responsorial Psalm: #819 Psalm 118: This Is the Day Soper
Preparation of the Gifts: #548 Sing to the Mountains Dufford
Communion Hymn: #177 Ye Sons and Daughters O FILII ET FILIAE
Recessional Hymn: #173 Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today LLANFAIR
I’m remembering Confirmation off the top of my head:
Thursday, April 14, 2011—The Celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation
Processional Hymn: #196 Come, O Holy Spirit HYMN TO JOY
Receiving of the Sacrament: #466 Spirit, Come Norbet
Recessional Hymn: #369 The Spirit Sends Us Forth AZMON
I found it odd, though, that “Sing to the Mountains” was done as a Preparation of the Gifts song. It seems more of a processional or recessional.Yeah, our contemporary guitar-and-drums group did those Masses. The Mass setting they use is not that good and probably not allowed. I don’t know what it’s called, and I don’t really want to know what it is; that’s how bad it is. :banghead:
Your parish’s lineups were far better.
I’m going to go out on a limb here, but it was probably Mass of Glory. That seems to be a favorite of many contemporary choirs nowadays.Yeah, our contemporary guitar-and-drums group did those Masses.

I know Mass of Glory. This wasn’t that. The Sanctus went something like this.I’m going to go out on a limb here, but it was probably Mass of Glory. That seems to be a favorite of many contemporary choirs nowadays.

Haha I know, right? And they’re part of the group that doesn’t want to sing the Gloria because “it makes the Mass too long.”That’s so unnecessarily long. Haha. Who would want to use that?
Figures.Haha I know, right? And they’re part of the group that doesn’t want to sing the Gloria because “it makes the Mass too long.”![]()
Yes, if you’re ever in western Massachusetts when we have big diocesan Masses, you should come to it! The choir is amazing and the cathedral is beautiful, if I do say so myself.I like your cathedral’s selections more.![]()
This is punishment! You are bringing back tortured memories from my days in my school’s Glee Club. Talk about inflicting abuse on small children. Little did sister know what she was doing to us back then.I know Mass of Glory. This wasn’t that. The Sanctus went something like this.

Did they use that in Mass?This is punishment! You are bringing back tortured memories from my days in my school’s Glee Club. Talk about inflicting abuse on small children. Little did sister know what she was doing to us back then.![]()
Yes, when I was in grade school in the 1970s. I love the Salesians, but, liturgically, their music left a lot to be desired. Lamentably, they’ve regressed considerably. Now, the poor kids are subjected to Spirit and Song, as well as “liturgical” dance.Did they use that in Mass?

I feel bad for you. I’ve heard it three times, and it’s horrible.Yes, when I was in grade school in the 1970s. I love the Salesians, but, liturgically, their music left a lot to be desired.
