I've never heard this piece before but did notice how well the mass was celebrated - not a single would-be cantor or pirouettist. I noticed, too, the Scottish attire of the bridal party. We had such a wedding at Walsingham several years ago - there was everything but bagpipes... probably because we don't have a pipe and drum corps yet. We are in the midst of building a high school (Cathedral High School), so maybe a pipe and drum corp will develop somewhere along the way. The high school's curriculum is loaded with the arts, music, literature, etc.
