Woohoo!!! Got comment boxes!!!! Yay - thank you James!!!
OK, there are major reforms going on music wise at Church - it is scaring me just a little, for a start, it's all so, well, organised!!! I didn't think organisation happened where the music was concerned!!!
Most of the reforming is cool, but I'm not too sure about not having recessional hymns...Paul thinks that, from a theological perspective, Mass should end after the priest's "dismissaly" bit, rather than after the hymn that comes after that...Surely, the true point of a recessional hymn is that it's sung while people are actually leaving...The fact that Paul seems to be the only one to ever leave during the recessional is a totally different issue!
I'm also not entirely sure that I see why, from a theological perspective, we should finish Mass without a recessional hymn. I would have thought that things like that had more to do with a dogmatic perspective, but there we go. I think that I have probably said enough on that now!
There was a party at my house last night, as it was Tim's 20th birthday. He got very drunk, and was sick many times. At one point, he also expressed a desire to urinate on the coffee table. Fortunately, we did pursuade him that the coffee table IS NOT the toilet...Oh dear!!!
