Considering the deep hatred for Gather Us In expressed by many Catholics, Marty Haugen just may be Martin Luther's greatest insult to the Church of Rome!James Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329351028867470541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-83872502467482859042010-08-28T19:59:57.042-04:002010-08-28T19:59:57.042-04:00Pinan is spot on.

One could start with anything from Ralph Vaughn Williams as it derives from old melodies that were often Catholic hymns before the C of E went its way. That stuff gives you chills.<br /><br />I am trying not to be prejudiced, but when a tune is announced I will examine the bottom of the page to see what tune and author are involved. If anyone born since 1950 is involved I have a great foreboding...<br /><br />rcgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-91082146071528665202010-08-28T19:43:30.431-04:002010-08-28T19:43:30.431-04:00The Church would do better to plumb the old protes...The Church would do better to plumb the old protestant hymnals for some of the old, traditional hymns which are Christologically correct and devotionally fulfilling. They are metrical hymns, but still better than the post 70's pop garbage that has been dumped in the mix. I am thinking of songs like "Abide With Me," "Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross," and "God of Our Fathers."Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-59825723200563098772010-08-28T16:51:44.749-04:002010-08-28T16:51:44.749-04:00Well even I got this one right away.

It's been around awhile and the use of this particular photo especially with the woman wearing a crown, represents the overdressing of a mediocre hymn. <br />The Latin version of this hymn is meant to be funny.Fr.
