The music is supposed to be prayerful and reverent.......it’s not supposed to make people feel good.

Some of it — Such as the introits during Lent, should make us feel quite subdued.

Desdemona’s choir entered with the priest, singing these a capella, if I remember correctly. It sounded wonderful.

Lent weeks 1-3. Laetare Sunday the organ was added back, as was the real Laetare chant, which was VERY warmly received among the more seasoned of the congregation. Five was a straight chant and Palm Sunday was "All Glory Laud and Honor". By the book.

Why can't it do both?
