Fulton Sheen Warrior Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 +JMJ+ I personally loathe all forms of contemporary music in Mass. Strictly Gregorian Chant/Sacred Polyphany for me. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I'm more concerned about the lyrics than the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I can't really answer because none of those are what I would say. I think that any music is appropriate as long as it is respectful and the lyrics are appropriate. I do have a question though. Why do you feel one form is better than another?

If you do a search with Litugical Music as the keyword and my handle (Cam42) as the member name, you'll see my view. It is clear and it will take some time, but it is worth the read....all I have ever called for is ACCURATE, FAITHFUL AND COMPLETE adherence to the precepts of Vatican Council II, in regard to Sacred Music.

Tindomiel Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I love Gregorian Chant and Sacred Polyphany. Some fairly contemporary music would be ok IMO, but when I say that, I'm only thinking of a few specific hymns written in the 1800s and early 1900s. Not exactly contemporary by the common definition of the word. Even some of the not so dreadful '70s, '80s and '90s songs would be bearable if used only occasionally. It's the constant repetition each Sunday that makes them [i]really[/i] irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I like a lot of different kinds of music. But I think that some is just more suited than others to be in a mass. It is a delicae balance to find songs that are motivating enough that people like them and participate in them, while still retating respect and sacredness in this holy time and space. This is after a mass, not a pep rally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the thread on Chant to be very enlightening. Thank you sir. [/quote] You are welcome. Again, there is nothing that called for the elimination of Sacred Music. For the most part, it was simply abandoned. This is an ongoing quesion that I have been posing for many, many years: I would like for someone to show me where Vatican Council II authorized, condoned, supported, required, etc., the elimination of Traditional Sacred Music? AND...... If that answer is negative: What is the point of the phrase, "Spirit of Vatican II," when it is taken in the context of Sacred Music; if Vatican Council II is not the reasoning of new music in the Church. If that answer is positive: Can one use the documents of the Church to support his position? If one cannot, then is it in keeping with the "Spirit of Vatican II?"

prose Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 But is there documents stating [i]only[/i] traditional music be used in Mass? If the music is reverant and lyrically sound, why is it a problem? even if it was written yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
