This is really well done. The choir and esp the organist should be congratulated. I miss this kind of music as it seems to be more of a surprise than the norm anymore. Thank you for making my day!!!
That isn't what attracts me about attending mass, it's the Truth and the sacredness of the Faith, that is offered in The Eucharist. Hand clapping and waving puts me right off actually (I am 60 + Female). I attend a lovely church of The Sacred Heart and Margeret Mary in Norfolk.
I think there are many people out there that do not know the type of music meant to be in the Church, and with time, patience and good teacing, they, too will appreciate it.
@cvcollection This was the Mass of All Soul's Day. In 2009 it fell on a Monday. Somehow I expect St. Peter's is often packed! Be at Peace, God remains at work. Jesus remains at his side.
@chamberl I'm in no way religous but my school has a compulsory chapel service every Friday. I despise religion, for what it stands for, the problems it causes and its deceitful nature but I also respect the good that it does. In spite of this, I love hymns and find it very peaceful. This hymn in particular has something very special about it.
I agree with Kelly Ryan. Piano drums and synthisizers can be pretty annoying and distracting. A simple organ makes the church more vibrant and focused, in my opinion.
Church isn't supposed to be a form of entertainment, people! According to the New Testament, worship is to be quiet and dignified. Look it up-I believe Paul's letter to Timothy.
I feel the newer "contemporary" hymns simply are not as well written as the old ones. Like I love old country (Hank, Patsy, Jimmie Rodgers) but the new country all sounds the same to me-pop made up as country. At first I thought it was because I was getting old but the younger members of our congregation (an Anglican cathedral) hands down agree with me. I mean, really, some guy called Tony is going to write words more meaningful than this-the Liturgy of St. James? A French tune from the 1600s?
It's not that all "French tune(s) from the 1600s" were amazing. We have had 400 years to eradicate the less worthy music. The same will go for today. In 100 years, no one will be playing or singing the B or C rated music. Only the best music will survive. If "Tony" write 1000 hymns, we might get 5 that are timeless. Unfortunately, the "Antoines" of this age will probably write 100 hymns if they are lucky. We might get one decent work. No one is going to be singing any work by Marty Haugen in 100 years and he's written hundreds of pieces.
This is indeed beautiful, but don't disparage percussion, stringed instruments, clapping and waving - King David, 'A man after God's heart', did all of these, as you'll find in the Psalms (esp. 150) and elsewhere. There are many different ways of worshipping God and He appreciates worship in spirit and in truth.
One of my favorite hymns.
People are bleeding away like a hemorrhage regardless. I say, restore this sort of music, and let the chips fall where they may! This is Tradition!
A wonderful hymn for Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.

Often sung Holy Communion hymn in the Lutheran Church (LCMS).
That isn't what attracts me about attending mass, it's the Truth and the sacredness of the Faith, that is offered in The Eucharist. Hand clapping and waving puts me right off actually (I am 60 + Female). I attend a lovely church of The Sacred Heart and Margeret Mary in Norfolk.
Beautiful Church.
It was wonderful to see and hear indeed witness these great Catholic hymns being sung so well in your beautiful church of St Peter's.
I was raised Presbyterian and this was a very common Hymn sung in our Churches when we had Holy Communion.
Consider that many people find drums, guitars, and hand clapping deep expressions of Joy in the Presence of God. Really.
Yes, we do. It's not as ostentatious as the organ, but God is simple as well as complex. He is quiet as well as loud. O beauty ever ancient, ever new.
love this hymn, beautiful !
Amazing. Love that hymn. So well played

Alleluia Lord Most High!!

A very dignified procession!
beautiful but so empty. Makes me so sad. keep up the great music, maybe the lord will send more folks

@chamberl People seem to fear quietness and silence.
I always think of a funeral when I hear this hymn. My cousin's funeral is tomorrow, so I hope they play this.

Check out Exodus
@chamberl
That's correct, I am Dutch :)
This is a lovely hymn and ancient and yes I do disparage drums tambourines and dirges. We are too inured to rubbish
chamberl, you are absoluty right. The general make up of the christian church these days does not apprceiate high church.
@chamberl Christ is there, where two or three people gather in His Name. What are numbers if Christ Himself is with us?
Lovely arrangement! I enjoyed your Durufle interlude! What hymnal do you sing from?
Worship III and Gather III (which we acquired after the new Mass translation) as well as copious repertory reprinted with permission.
@@VisitStPeters Thank you!
@optimatus I always like to guess nationalities of people who respond ;-)
Dutch?

@@classicalteacher but people will be singing the traditional Latin Mass until the end of time
@@bradybartell2354 Holy, Holy, Holy. Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.

Unfortunately you can't get people to go to church now unless you have drums and guitars and mindless hand waving and clapping.
and extraordinarily tacky
