Actually, Dan Schutte usually makes Marty Haugen sound like Samuel Barber. Plus, to my knowledge, Marty Haugen did not "marry" his "boyfriend," as Dan Schutte - who is head of music and student life at a Jesuit college - did. Marty Haugen is just a Lutheran. But then, so was Bach, although the resemblance ends there...

I thought Marty switched to another denomination. Or did he start out something else? *shrugs shoulders*

In any case, their music, if you could call it that, is wretched. We've changed from Mass of Cremation to the St. Louis Jebbie Mass setting for Ordinary time. It's gonna be a looooooong green season.

What is some of the stuff that Schutte has written?

It may be that one of his hymns has drifted by like a bad smell . . . our choirmaster uses the hymns to use (under protest) the Glory and Praise type dreck that some members of the congregation seem to love . . . but maybe I was too busy hiding under the pew to notice who wrote it.
