thanks pnewton and sarabande for the link and information. I’ll be checking that out
I was told we couldn’t sing anything from the Deutschemass anymore since the words were wrong. Is that not true? Europe is still allowed to use the beautiful traditional masses of the ages past as they don’t have English translations? We aren’t?
I was in the little choir. We lost our organist to old age and all we have is a guitarist on speed. We started doing a snappy little Glory to God that was absolutely hideous.( A
small isolated rural area with no resources, few musicians, the congregation doesn’t know how to sing parts, I just can’t stand it anymore.) And the music in the Missel Music edition doesn’t HAVE any parts! We can’t afford new Hymnals every few years.
Our priest is from an African country, we can’t understand anything he says. The white people are all old farmers, there is a different vibrant Mexican community now. Separate masses and everything. They have good music, maybe I’ll just go to that mass. They probably have a mariachi band like some of the old churches in Texas.
The utter ugliness of the entire mass could not have been better invented by demons.
I used to be Orthodox and we could make the liturgy beautiful with as few as four singers.
I’m just grossed out and very discouraged.
I was curious about the old masses. Thanks.
It’s just a matter of personal preference.Why do some parishes leave in sacred silence, and others have a recessional hymn?
In the original Schubert/Proulx arrangement of the Deutschemesse, the words to the Lamb of God were wrong, so when there was a crackdown on making sure the texts were correct for the Lamb of God, especially, many dropped that, but not the rest of the mass. Then when the new revisions were made, Proulx arranged the Lamb of God correctly before he died. The rest of the mass, with the old text and the new next, are correct. Whoever told you that they couldn’t use the entire mass because of the wrong text was probably thinking of the Lamb of God and then just applied it to the entire mass setting.I was told we couldn’t sing anything from the Deutschemass anymore since the words were wrong.

Anything one is told by a priest applies only to that parish which is under his responsible guidance. We can not take the rules used in one parish and apply them to other parishes, binding on priest with the words of another. This is one reason why this thread attempts to discourage debate. It is about practical assistence within our given parameters.I was told we couldn’t sing anything from the Deutschemass anymore since the words were wrong. Is that not true?
They still exist.Great thread, glad I found it. Just one question. I’ve located Part III, where do I find parts I and II? Do they still exist? Thanks!
Just tried it myself and forgot that the thread titles weren’t all the same:They still exist.Try typing in the search bar the same thread title or just part of it. It probably should bring up the other threads.
I tried that, too, and all that came up was Part III. Would love to see the older threads.Just tried it myself and forgot that the thread titles weren’t all the same:
