    A perfect gift for anyone who loves the Latin Mass and
    who wishes to commemorate this historic time in the Church.

    Yeah, I agree, but there are few of us, it would seem. Maybe the church
    waited too late to allow reintroduction of these chant melodies? I have
    tried to get RC musicians interested in the Eucharistic Suite of Mathias
    that I restored (and announced here), and it was nearly ignored. Salve
    Sancta Parens is near the top in well-known chants, but maybe they're
    looking for hymn settings of Eagle's Wings or Gift of Finest Wheat.

    I do know many who love the old mass and the chants, but they are not in
    positions of organist and able to choose the music.

    Cheers!
    Michael
