Last Sunday, the local parish started introducing portions of the new Missal. The change from old to new is evidently meant to be seamless and undetectable, because so far it's a matter of an additional note or word or two crammed into the lamentable old settings. Worse, it served as an opportunity for the the leader of song to yack it up at the microphone even more than usual.
And I'd had such hopes. Still, I know that somewhere, some lucky parish is singing "Simple English Propers," and that thought gives me joy.
Saint Cecilia, patron of Church music, pray for us.
