The Saint Hubert's Mass is performed regularly in France. I also saw it performed near Chautauqua, NY in a church service format in a Roman Catholic church on a Sunday morning. The Trompe de Chasse players were French and the mass was the close to a wonderful weekend organized by John Gerber and Lowell Greer. We Americans performed Lowell's mass in concert form the evening before in a different church. Our French friends and the congregation of that church seemed to enjoy that too.

I've asked a couple of Catholic priests if it would be appropriate to perform a composed Mass as part of a Mass instead of just as a performance. (did that sentence make any sense?). I never got any takers, but has anyone else ever been a part of something like that? I think I've heard of Requiem Masses being performed at a funeral, but I'm thinking more of a regular Mass. Having played what passes for music these days at the Catholic church a few too many times, I would be excited to play some real music and I think it would be a very uplifting experience for the parishoners. - Steve Mumford _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/gretchenzook%40gmail.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
