Witness a memory of Card. Bartolucci of his youth in the 1920s in a tiny Italian village, as quoted in the NLM article today entitled <a href="http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2017/05/remembering-cardinal-domenico.html#.WQ9wDNy1uNJ" rel="nofollow"><b>Remembering Cardinal Domenico Bartolucci</b></a>:<br /><br /><i>“When I was a boy I remember that the people used to sing in church. They sang at Vespers (all from memory: the antiphons, psalms and hymns); they sang at devotional functions (Way of the Cross, Marian devotions, etc.); they sang in processions (the</i> Magnificat, Te Deum, Lauda Sion, <i>and other hymns); they sang even at Solemn Mass sometimes. (When I was a boy, each Sunday at my little church there was a Solemn Mass, and on normal Sundays the people sang by themselves.) I used to sing too, either behind the altar with my father, who was the parish cantor, or with the people in the pews whenever there weren’t cantors behind the altar. The people sang: they sang in a loud voice, a song that centuries and centuries had handed down to them, a lusty song, severe and strong, that the children had learned from their elders, not at school desks or examination rooms but by constant habit, in the continuous practice of the Church. How can I recall without a still-living emotion the participation of all of people at the Liturgy of the Dead, and especially in the Obsequies? Everyone, I mean everyone, belted out the</i> Libera me Domine <i>and then the</i> In Paradisum<i> and then the</i> De Profundis...! <i>Everyone! And the music, that gorgeous music, attained an unmatchable power; the last, deep, hearty farewell to the dead as he left the church where countless times he had sung full-throatedly the praises of God! The people sang!”</i><br /><br />The people sang: they sang in a loud voice. "Everyone, I mean everyone!" Ever seen or heard anything like this at a typical Sunday Novus Ordo today?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
