I still have some of his music floating around, somewhere in the files.
Sommerville's retraction of his ICEL work (et al) was a real atomic bomb, and couldn't have been timed better--it was about when 'ICEL v. Rome' was at its hottest.
He sort of helped Rome make its case that the Chair of ICEL should step down and they should be subject to the Bishops, rather than a snitty little group of arrogant pinhead intellectualoid bedwetters that they had become. (SEE: I didn't mention queers)

Speaking of ICEL, I happen to know the current director of the committe, Fr. Bruce Harbert. He's a nice guy. I sometimes chat with him over dinner amongst a group of solid Catholics. I actually witnessed him say the Tradtional Latin Mass at my church earlier this year. He says it in a very reverent manner. There's no issue with his rubrics at all. He also gave a great homily on the Holy Name of Jesus, specifically focusing on the English devotion of the
Psalter of Jesus.
