Soli Deo Gloria!!!! And Roy, your work most certainly glorifies God!!! I'm so proud of you!!!
Ut in omnibus glorificetur Deus! I am so glad you enjoyed, Mrs. Gurley! I feel so blessed to be in the true Church that happens to have the most beautiful Sacred Music!
So proud of our PVI Student Roy...informative presentation & with relevance to Catholic education.
Merci beaucoup, Madame Hansberger!! Je vous remercie encore d'être venu à ma présentation! C'était incroyable pendant mes recherches de trouver beaucoup de connexions françaises dans l'histoire de la musique sacrée de l'Église Catholique.
The "pop culture" phenomenon of our country was allowed into the Sacred Liturgy of our Catholic faith starting in the mid 1960's, as you perfectly pointed out. How the church fathers allowed this to happen is astounding and sad, and a subject for further discussion and research. I was in high school during the change and was devastated how most of my friends stopped going to church (including myself). The "guitar" mass and the "kumbaya" masses were wretched and folksy. It felt terribly irreverent. We thought, "What about the `Real Presence`...the Latin was gone. Sacred Tradition was brushed aside. It was to be in the spirit of "ecumenism" we were told. (We all felt we heard snickering from the protestant churches.) I presently sing (Chant) with a schola in SE Pennsylvania and the solemn high Mass is a blessing to me and my family. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU'RE DOING, ROY...God Bless You. AMDG.
Yes, you are right that replacing traditional music with popular music didn't even win over "the youth" it was designed to win over. By the time the Church implemented the change, because tastes in music are so fleeting, that pop music was unpopular. Chant has no meter so it is perfect for enhancing prayer as any words can be chanted. By contrast, other music has meter and lyrics must rhyme, so it is necessary to change the words for that to happen. Thank you for lending your voice to your local scola. Traditional music will win out in the long run (but perhaps it will be a very, very long run before it does)! God bless!
I'm interested innhiw you found a Gregorian choir? I'd like to find one here in louisville
@@lcarlson7725 My local parish celebrates the Traditional Latin Mass at a nearby school (but not in the church itself), and I sing in the schola. You can see if the Latin Mass is offered in your area by checking this website ... www.latinmassdir.org/. If you would be so kind, let me know if you are successful finding a Latin Mass community near your home! God Bless! +
@@mr.roywulf Thank you. The link you provided shows a church pretty close to me - St Martin of Lourdes. I will check it out!
@@lcarlson7725 Ah, success! I'm so pleased. As that website indicates "Due to current restrictions, some churches are not explicitly publishing Traditional Latin Masses on websites and listings." So even if that church doesn't list the Latin Mass as being offered, it may still be offering it. At my parish, announcements for the Latin Mass are made via email.
Excellent...well-done and content-beneficial
Thanks so much. It was great to get this independent study project completed successfully!
I would say that it was completed more-than-successfully!@@mr.roywulf
@@denniscahill9683 Well, thank you so much for that!
Interesting, well done
Glad you enjoyed the presentation. It was a lot of work, but also fun to do.
Though I don’t know much about catholic music because I’m a Christian but I find it quite fascinating I learned something new today and I appreciate once again
@@Ruz-T So glad that you found it informative. Protestant Christians, Orthodox Christians, and Catholic Christians all need great music in their worship!
