Nobody at my church plays the organ, and the priest has been begging me for a long time to play for Mass again, but I wasn't able to fulfill that commitment until now. So I start Easter Saturday Vigil! I've been practicing a Vierne Mass, and I'm going to start training the singer in Latin and Gregorian chant. I have plans to turn the Saturday 5:00 pm Mass into a very traditional service, with classical organ music, sacred Latin singing, and Gregorian chanting. I recently learned how to read plainsong neume notation (it was super easy, I recommend every church musician learn it), and printed out some of Liber Usualis to accompany on the organ. My plans are to slowly introduce more and more sacred music, and for "Traditional Music Mass" or "Sacred Music Mass" to be printed on the bulletin and on the website to attract more young people to the parish, as I've found young people like me are increasingly attracted to tradition in a world that is losing it, especially with the music in church.

And the best part is, the priest is completely on board with it! He loves the idea of incorporating more sacred music, and is basically giving me full control of the music at the Saturday Mass. He's really excited and a musician himself. Wish me luck on Easter guys!
