The Catholic newish music I have heard I will not even call music. Well I just did. It is hideous to my ears, and we basically weren't even allowed to sing the beautiful Catholic hymns. They are sneaking some back in now, even in Latin. It is almost too late. The songs they substituted...not really songs..just words that don't rhyme and have no set timing..look at a Catholic hymnbook, if you can call it that..the songs are totally not like any songs Americans or their ancestors would sing..3/4 goes to 5/8 goes to 3/2 all in a couple of verses..it is odd and jarring and discordant. Read ugly as sin..a book..about the sheer ugliness of both the architecture and the music that was foisted on us...no offense to anyone who likes this..to each his/her own...but they should have at least left us our beautiful music and added whatever else they wanted to on top of it..having different services with different foci etc. mg
