Anyways...I'm just saying...

Old music does not necesarily equate to Traditional music.

Absolutely. Traditional is not the same as antiquated. There is plenty of traditional music that has been composed in modern times. While antiquity is certainly involved, the fact that something is old doesn't automatically mean it is traditional. I think this is part of many common misunderstandings these days. Some people hear others talking about their love for tradition or the value of traditional liturgy et cetera and they interpret this as mere antiquarianism or nostalgia. This is an important point for clarification. Thanks!

One of my favorite books on the subject of tradition is a collection of essays by Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann called "[i]Liturgy and Tradition[/i]." He was a great modern Orthodox scholar (pioneering professor at St. Vladimir's) and in my opinion he hits the nail on the head in this book in exposing the flawed assumptions of the popular theology and scholarship that shaped the post-Conciliar liturgical reforms within the Roman Church. He's not polemical in the slightest and the exchange between he and Dom Bernard Botte is alone worth ten times the price of the book. I'm tempted to just type the whole thing out. Oh, and the interjections of Grisbrooke are almost comical in that he doesn't even grasp the basics of Schmemann's perspective and really just exposes the banal mental set of the 1950's/60's positivistic scholars - oh they were so modern and enlightened.

LORD, WHEN YOU CAME TO THE SEASHORE / PESCADOR DES HOMBRES

by Cesareo Gabarain

1. Lord, when you came to the seashore you weren't seeking the wise or the wealthy, but only asking that I might follow.

REFRAIN (English): O Lord, in my eyes you were gazing, Kindly smiling, my name you were saying; All I treasured, I have left on the sand there; Close to you, I will find other seas.

REFRAIN (Spanish): Señor me has mirado a los ojos, sonriendo has dicho mi nombre, en la rena he dejado mi barca, junto a ti buscaré otro mar.

2. Lord, you knew what my boat carried: neither money nor weapons for fighting, but nets for fishing my daily labor. (REFRAIN)

3. Lord, have you need of my labor, hands for service, a heart made for loving, my arms for lifting the poor and broken? (REFRAIN)

4. Lord, send me where you would have me, to a village, or heart of the city; I will remember that you are with me. (REFRAIN)[/quote]
my parents can't stand this song. it's kind of funny...

really? I think it's cool.

[He is Risen!]

I feel so fortunate that I don't recoganize any of the songs you all have been mentioning. Whenever I move to a new city, I seek out the parish with "classical" Catholic music, and it is also usually the church that is also faithful to most other church teachings and traditions.
