I agree. Our perspective is always, "What will work for the congregation?" That means, among other things, not expecting them to sing Gregorian chant, but we can still work it in if we're creative. We also do English or Latin pieces sometimes, as choir or solo numbers.
That’s the ticket!
I really want to do the responses. I don’t need the “Church Idol” in the front doing them for me.
I’m just chiming in, but why not try the Missal of 1962? We have been attending a tridentine liturgy weekly for three years now, and we love it. We have Chant, we have polyphony, we have solos now and then, and we have a very peaceful beautiful liturgy. Why reinvent the wheel? Oh, and we have coffee and donuts twice a month!
