Amen to that. Our parish has (if I do say so myself) spectacular music. Chant (Gregorian, Anglican, AND Sarum use) - polyphony all the way back to organum and the Paris School, Josquin, Palestrina, Victoria, Byrd, Tallis, Weelkes (a personal favorite), Schutz, Haydn, Mozart, and the better moderns. Just to name a few. Huge repertoire. And our music director can play anything - Buxtehude, Fauré, Handel, you name it. DMA from Juilliard in organ performance.

When I go to almost any other parish it's usually extreme culture shock.

Oooh, where is your parish with the wonderful music? I will search it out if I am ever near. It sounds heavenly.
