A cappella and modern lush harmonies ala Lauridsen, et al.<BR/><BR/>~nbPhiMuAlpha2681https://www.blogger.com/profile/08883388434817321459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1151923970415517982006-07-03T06:52:00.000-04:002006-07-03T06:52:00.000-04:00Indeed, yes.

In my opinion, Dupre's setting of the text leaves all others in the dust, with Elgar's trodding a close second. Small world, Charles! The interconnectedness of our little band is always astounding! Hopefully next year we might see your pink seersucker gracing the imposing walls of CUA? This would most certainly a treat -- one worthy of a Dirty Dirty Martini at Yanni's Greek Lounge in Cleveland Park ("Just a few yards from the Metro"). Nothing like a good martini and an evening of compound-complex sentences....HA!Jason Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531010709396601925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1151891698509178392006-07-02T21:54:00.000-04:002006-07-02T21:54:00.000-04:00Oh, PS for Jeff Keyes:Someone anonymously dropped ...Oh, PS for Jeff Keyes:<BR/>Someone anonymously dropped off a pristine album copy of Don Osuna's THOSE WHO SEE LIGHT LP from 1971 for me at the office!

Please turn to page 4 after page 3. It's the second ending."<BR/>This tells me you were doing the Byrd, yes? Deo Gratias.<BR/>Your mini-review sounds, ahem, interesting, Jason. Did Fr. Keyes tell you that long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we were young bucks together earnestly foisting our earnest operas upon the pholks thirsting for something beyond the SLJ/Dameans/Ray Repp mileau?<BR/>Speaking of the restoration of the sacred, best way to get chant back into the parish (save my efforts in the parochial school): daily Mass. On certain days I get a few guys who've formed their own little amateur (in the true sense) schola and we'll actually chant the propers!

Indeed fond memories of an excellent week of study with an fabulous conductor. <BR/><BR/>Brian, yes, Tyler is THE Tyler from the Ripnet...the one who gave you a piece of cyber birthday cake. Also, we know where the good "dirty dirty" martinis are in D.C. We discovered a great watering hole while in town, where Grey Goose is CHEAPER than Absolute....who would have thought there would be some strange hidden universe where such a thing could be true...(hint: they also had great charbroiled octopus as well as really really tasy mousaka plaka)...HA!Jason Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531010709396601925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002745.post-1151864925494658372006-07-02T14:28:00.000-04:002006-07-02T14:28:00.000-04:00Yeah, the MOC Gloria comment was great.

The last one I had to learn (Jubilation Mass Gloria) was just too much. Honestly, does it take <B>9</B> pages to get it across?
