It could be worse. Imagine Cat Stevens singing that blasted pile of insipidity, which would fit...
And as a matter of fact, "PilgrimMusic" was started precisely because NOBODY wants to buy Schutte's crap--most hymnals have only a few of his doodoodrippings remaining.
That's why the Arizona publishing outfit was started, too. OCP and GIA wouldn't take any more of it...

Based on their website, it appears as if they just took a bunch more of it. Advent and Christmas music a-la-schutte, just what we need.

I don't want to really argue, but there are some people out there who do like and do buy Dan Schuette's material. I haven't quite figured out why, but there are people who do like it.
My complaint is that they seem to think this is actually well-written music when placed beside Praetorius or Bach. It's like comparing Danielle Steele to Jane Austen.
