The inestimable Fr. Jeffrey Keyes

Rev. Jeffrey Keyes, C.PP.S. • Missionary of the Precious Blood • Roman Catholic Priest

Fr. Keyes is a very good Gregorian composer, and I am happy to say his Reverence has been contributing to the Chabanel Psalms Website.

Careful, JO. Giving Californians too many props might actually make us think that people pay attention to anything that comes outta Da Left Coast. Besides, I have urtexts of JK's stuff from da 80's. Co-conspirator, I'm just sayin'.

Fr. Keyes is a very fine composer and a dedicated pastor of souls, indeed. I had the privilege of visiting his parish in Newark, CA, and marvelled at his capacity for fostering beauty and reverence in every aspect of parish life. It's definitely the kind of place where I would be happy to worship and raise my family.

Michael, you know I jest. And you are more than correct in your estimation of my long time friend, Fr. Keyes. We both grew up in the same liturgical milieu, St. Francis de Sales Cathedral in Oakland, and yet survive to tell the story. I would love to be DM for Fr. Keyes, but Samuel Dorlaque is providing much better service than I could ever hope to equate.
BTW, I'm enjoying revisiting your Mass.

I jest not! While the architecture is abysmal and the slot-machine Allen leaves much to be desired, there is no substitute for a pastor who shares one's vision for music and liturgy! Yes, Sam is a wonderful fellow and fine musician, but I must confess that I kick myself for not at least throing my hat in the ring when that job was open. After all, my brother did! ...And, hey, still arranging my Mass setting for your ensemble?

I interviewed with Fr. Keyes and it was a great experience.
