Much (Liturgical) Music....

Cari amici Romani, avrete bisogno di questa nella mattina.....

A reader in London drops a line to let us know that "Miserere Mei will be sung, as every year, by the choir of Westminster Cathedral tomorrow." So if you're in the capital, do go, take notes and report back.

How lucky you lot are. Good to know Catholic culture is alive somewhere. I want Tenebrae....

Our correspondent also wonders "Why is it that Westminster is the only cathedral church in the whole wide Catholic world that alone still has a sung daily liturgy? We kept our choir school, everyone else abandoned them like hot coals...."

Here in the States, I'm told, this place has a damn good choir school, "on a par with the greatest of Europe."

Thank God Calvinism in "Catholic" clothing hasn't yet hit Utah.
