Ray Blake in the U.K., posted below in full, without editing or commentary: An email from the Directrix of S M Magdalen Choral Services: After much thought, I have decided we are doing too much latin, this is the revised music programme for [...]

July 3, 2008 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

RC from Catholic Light – another blogger I was able to meet at Colloquium XVIII – brings attention to this story about alius cantus aptus taken to its dubious extreme in Australia.
