Would you agree that that's a nobler ideal than a solo cantor?

No - it's absolutely not a nobler ideal to have people who are actively undermining the church through their li…

Salieri,

Your usrname's namesake has a nice two part De Profundis... First time I sung it, I did a double take!

1) The "story of silent night" isn't in an approved liturgical book. Whatever the purpose you think this may have held in the 1908 gradual, it was found in an appr…

I think some say it's too loud because to them, any organ that makes any noise is too loud for their anti-organ beliefs.

I have not widely used the simplex, but I am familiar with it. Here's a few comments:
