It has also been described as THE song of the Church and as a major part of the music of the spheres.

The documents of Vatican II have nice things to say about Gregorian Chant and Polyphony (sp?) music as well. Something about it being the heritage of the Church and all that.

Funny that those who seem to think that they expertly have the "pulse" of the "spirit of the Council" never acknowledge these statements.

And brook no argument either. Just TRY on Pentecost to get a music director other than ninenot to sing Veni Creator Spiritus in Latin. It's absolutely lovely. And "Pange Lingua" on Holy Thursday.

I feel so deprived.
