Chant-ified OCP/GIA Hymns

Casavant Organist

As a digression from the HMGW thread, let's see if we can come up with other "chantifications" of pop hymns to make them slightly more (un)bearable.
Thanks to Chonak for starting us off... see attached.

Oh, this could be fun. Here's my contribution.

Is this your thousandth post?
Are you monetized now?
Shall we record it for Youtube and see if they come after us for copyright?

Congrega nos is still my favorite (can't find the OP here anymore). I have it posted on my office door and no one seems to get the joke.

NNNNNOOOOOoOOOOOOooOOOOOOOOO!!!! (running and screaming as I go off the cliff with a drift of pigs)

The Modernists are Experts as Catholic Chameleons... THEY... JUST... DON'T... GIVE... UP!!!!!!!

NOTE: a herd of pigs is a 'drift' or a 'drove'... hence, the demons 'drove' the herd of pigs off the cliff.

Congrega nos is…hysterical in the “gouge my ears out with a spoon” kind of way. Lol.

tandrews

Well yes the recording, but someone on the forums chantified the first verse. Love it!

Liam

Coming to an EF Low Mass near you.

Gather us in the old and the flaky
Gather us in the hippies of yore.
Gather us in the senile and kinky
We were the young in 1964...

Love the Latin version . LOL

Liam,

Bite your tongue!

ServiamScores

Bite thy tongue.

Lol

Is this a joke?

chonak

I know song spoofs are fun, but this thread is about something else.

Liam

Yes. Sorry I encouraged the meander.

ServiamScores

You don't need to apologize, Liam. Conversations take natural detours, no matter what the powers that be would otherwise prefer. You didn't do anything wrong.

CharlesW

Thou art correct. This was supposed to make pop hymns more bearable. Nay! Thou hast miscalculated. This cannot be.

chonak

I'm not trying to fault anyone for liking spoofs; just wanted to encourage people to take up Casavant's idea.

tandrews

This is what I was looking for! Thanks to whoever made it.

Sequentia adhuc incognita.

What if all the new melodies were as if corruptions or long developments of ancient, traditional melodies?

And, what could happen if the actual old antiphons and sequences were read respectfully in a modern style?

What if.... but they're not.

CharlesW

If you put a pig in vestments, you still have a pig.

I’m not trying to do shameless self promotion, I promise, but this is precisely what I’ve been trying to do with my psalm settings for the last year or so: https://youtu.be/GkYO4-bDGUU

Might as well add to the festivities - which Mass setting is this Kyrie from? I dropped a few mora on the way, but it was done in a rush. Yes, I used the "sharp", probably incorrectly, but I needed it, sorry!

lmassery

I did this to a couple recently
