I like it. Bill turned up and said, “The electric guitar kicks in at :40, right?” and then Elen arrived, “Is this all they do?” I’m reminded of Anoreth’s telling the Greek Orthodox that they needed to “update.”
It is an absolute nightmare to sing. Intervals don't work the way we're used to, tempi are strange, harmonies don't sound "right" to our 21st century ears.
Parish choir did the Josquin "Tu pauperum refugium" awhile back. Drove us nuts. I finally found a decent performance online (but a horrible recording with cellphones and squeaks and all sorts of awful stuff in the background) here.
My husband is the backup guitarist for our "Youth Mass Combo" - he's an old rocker (and a pretty good one) who dabbles in classical guitar, and he can't stand the stuff they play. He says it's not good rock, not good pop, and not good church music either. I never go to hear him because I would point and laugh. It really is very dated 70s pop, and not the best the 70s had to offer either.
