NLM: In Praise of Gloria XV (Gregorian Chant for Your Parish)
Jeffrey Tucker of The New Liturgical Movement has a nice story on "Gloria XV." It is a simple Gloria that any Parish can do. Please check out his story! The comments also add a great deal.
So there are a number of factors here in the success of Gloria XV. It is great music. It is part of the Mass. It is unusual and challenging. But also, the celebrant has led the way in showing people how to do this.
Now, I know that not everyone is so fortunate as to have a celebrant who is willing to intone the Gloria. But perhaps we should all make greater efforts here. We are, after all, talking about four words and three notes. This is not difficult. But it makes an immense difference for everyone.
