Jamie Burns:
One question about Sacred Heart in Tampa: does the music director really not want the congregation to sing?

I travel constantly, and I am in Tampa on a Sunday a couple of times a year, going back to 1989. Mr. Kent is an excellent organist, and I dearly love that he always choses a balance of traditional vs. new music. But invariably, at least when I’m there, belting out one of my favourite Anglican anthems (there is an Imprimatur at the front of the hymnal so don’t complain) he takes off improvising halfway through the second verse, leaving the melody far away in the dust.

Now when I’m in Tampa I go to Corpus Christi.

There have been several directors since 1989, Dr. David Isele, from over at University of Tampa, and now a new guy, Sean Fitzsimmons-Brown has taken over the last few months. Also Mary Ann Martin does the 6 PM Sunday Mass and Childrens choir.

Kent also is a U of T prof. but is not directly involved with SHC music.

Isele did play with vim and vigor 🙂 Brown plays like an old lady 😦

Mary Ann plays the piano with a guy that plays the violin, a nice combo.
Drop in again when you are in Tampa Town.

Did you ever go to St. Andrews next door ?
