If current SSPX priests are somehow the opposite, not in that they are against it, but that music in mass seems unimportant, that could explain why their would be conflict.įor what it is worth, I quite often played the organ for SSPX Masses here in Australia between 20.
Essentially I wonder if he felt out of place in the SSPX with his "medieval singing the mass in latin all the time" attitude. You see one of my favourite NON SSPX priests who was once part of them for over a decade is probably the most musically accomplished priest with most consistent elaborate beautiful sung masses ever. I am looking at this from a sociological, musicological psychological, theological point of view, not a polemical/schismatic point of view. I think some priests of the SSPX are more musically inclined than others.Īt the very least this helps me understand what the attraction of the SSPX is, to what extent is sung liturgy part of their appeal? To what extent are they fast paced low masses? Upon speaking to one of their priests (he was an exceptionally optimistic positive man) I discovered that they seem to not sing the divine office very often, except as "recto tono" which leads me to wonder if that attitude extends also to the mass. Primarily I wonder how many of them tend to have music at all, and if so what type, frequency of high masses, etc.
If answering this question will be politically incorrect or lead to trouble, I understand why it could and perhaps should be ignored.but I think it fair to ask if anyone has experience with any music in the masses in chapels of the SSPX?
