What's the point!

Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

What's the point!

Post by johnquinn39 »

What a magnificent article from Nick - this really says it all.

The RC Church has issued the V2 documents, the GIRM, Music in divine worship etc. etc.

However, if we are not allowed to sing the Sanctus and Psalms (in whatever stlyle), then what's the point!

That's very kind of you, John. I should stress that it's only an extract from a much longer dissertation and is, therefore, on its own incomplete. This section was an attempt to explain to my examiners why we do what we do.

I'd be interested to read the whole lot - is this possible, or might it become so?

Yes, Nick, I was left wanting to read what followed. Does the review of the musical developments include analysis of style?

I'll send you my comments privately, though, I think :-)
