missionseeker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Jaime, I will respond later when I have more than a few minutes at a time to pay attention to it.

Vincent Vega Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 [quote name='jaime' timestamp='1345054014' post='2468076'] Seriously? I'm having a hard time with this one because you being a musician, this should be a no brainer. The mandolin has 4 sets of paired strings tuned in the same fashion as a violin. It's about as similar to a guitar as an organ is to a xylophone. [/quote] Not according to Drs. Hornbostel and Sachs.

The organ and xylophone are quite far removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappo Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 [quote name='jaime' timestamp='1345057193' post='2468125'] Maybe the better point I should make is that there are posts in this thread that suggest that the use of guitar makes the liturgy less reverent. [/quote] If an instrument is not permitted for use in the liturgy, than to use that instrument in the liturgy would make the liturgy less reverent. Liturgical abuse is less reverent than non-liturgical abuse. People on PM saying the guitar makes mass less reverent is not anything new, because almost every single guitar debate people argue that the guitar is an instrument not permitted for use in the liturgy.

Jaime Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 [img]http://www.deaganresource.com/images/872.jpg[/img] Anything familiar to you as an organist about the layout of the xylophone? How long do you think it would take an organist to sight read and play the melody line of song on the xylophone even if they've never played it before? Now I can tell you for certain. If a mandolin player were to try to sight read a melody line on guitar (or vice versa) without ever having a lesson, it would not happen. They wouldn't have the first place to begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 [quote name='Slappo' timestamp='1345062706' post='2468185'] If an instrument is not permitted for use in the liturgy, than to use that instrument in the liturgy would make the liturgy less reverent.

[/quote] And here is the crux of the problem. If a guitar (an object) makes the mass less reverent, then it would make it less reverent everywhere, including South and Central America. Now if you hold that opinion, you are stating that the masses in South and Central America are automatically less reverent. the organ (an object) does not make a mass more reverent. No one wants to make the argument that there needs to be better MUSIC for the liturgy. Now that's an argument where we would all be on the same side.

I imagine the church is also more concerned with the sound produced, given the wording of many/most[/all?] of the documents about sacred music.
