I am finding the discussion of church music interesting. I'd never really considered the differences among denominations.

I grew up Methodist in the '50's, where I learned the traditional hymns. When I joined the Catholic Church in the mid '60's I was stunned that the Catholics barely knew how to sing!

This was just after Vatican II, and they were just beginning to sing the songs I considered to be "Traditional".

Almost 40 years later, they're doing a better job of it. We sing from a hymnal full of Traditional music.

I lost a post to you. FR must be suffering from Grelims this morning.

I find Traditional hymns very comforting. Singing songs my Paternal Grandmother and my Dad used to sing to me still sends shivers down my spine. I lost them when I was quite young (a couple of years apart) and those hymns seem to be "a connection" to them for me.
