***ummmmm . . . hate to be the near occasion of sin, but OF COURSE we do. Whenever we do a motet, we always do the chant first, then our music director does a little filigree on the organ if necessary to change keys, then off we go.
Our music director has even taught us to read Gregorian notation. THAT was a first for me, coming from the Episcopal church. “Chant” in our former life meant four- and six- part Anglican chant. Which is cool stuff, but quite different from Gregorian.

Here is a spoof recording of the British Highway Code pertaining to pedestrians, done by The Master Singers in three or four different Anglican chant settings - The Highway Code. But it gives you an idea of the Anglican sound — the part that begins with “always use subways, footbridges, pedestrian crossing or central refuges” is the traditional setting for Psalm 22 and my favorite Anglican chant.***

You are a child of God - this is brilliant. Thank you. Just to pay you back (heh heh), try Not the Nine O’Clock News taking on the Apostles’ Creed:

Rowan Atkinson is brilliant (we named our youngest daughter Rowan).
