Perhaps, but I am not talking about hymns like Attende Domine. I am talking about the proper chants of the mass, which are distinct from hymns like “Attende Domine” or even “Salve Regina”. The proper chants are virtually always from Scripture, with only a very few exceptions.
 
I also have to say thank you everyone for participating in the conversation! It is great to see the Church actually discussing issues like this.

The sense I got from the book was that he (and the Consilium, and the Holy Father) thought they were doing good, and implementing the wishes of SC. He is also honest about things that didn’t turn out as well as they could have, and music was one of them on which he comments.

He also notes in the book that already in the 60s, he was the object of vicious slander in the Church. That he made enemies, there can be little doubt.
 
I like the changes that were brought about by Vatican II.
We come to Mass to give glory and thanks to God.
It is not so much in the way that we say it, sing it, or think about it. It is a matter of doing it!

That makes no sense. There were deformations of the liturgy that were not authorized by Vatican II.

Not the official liturgy. There have been some abuses. Abp. Bugnini talks about some of them in his book.
