Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (Picardy)

[jrrtex]

This is really well done. The choir and esp the organist should be congratulated. I miss this kind of music as it seems to be more of a surprise than the norm anymore. Thank you for making my day!!!

Stay Calm friends relax and pray !! for it all will come back slowly but surly it will all come back. The mindless hand waving and claping will all just cese to be a nightmare . +Pax et Bonum+

chamberl, you are absoluty right. The general make up of the christian church these days does not apprceiate high church.

[MrIcetreyman]

A very dignified procession!

[jcapist]

I think there are many people out there that do not know the type of music meant to be in the Church, and with time, patience and good teacing, they, too will appreciate it.

[chamberl]

Unfortunately you can't get people to go to church now unless you have drums and guitars and mindless hand waving and clapping.

@chamberl .. true so very true 

[OSXHD]

@chamberl I'm in no way religous but my school has a compulsory chapel service every Friday. I despise religion, for what it stands for, the problems it causes and its deceitful nature but I also respect the good that it does. In spite of this, I love hymns and find it very peaceful. This hymn in particular has something very special about it.

@chamberl People seem to fear quietness and silence.

[optimatus]

@chamberl Christ is there, where two or three people gather in His Name. What are numbers if Christ Himself is with us?

[chamberl]

@optimatus I always like to guess nationalities of people who respond ;-)

Dutch?

[optimatus]

@chamberl

That's correct, I am Dutch :)

[nicanorchan]

@optimatus Agree!

Love the Durufle Fugue at the end..........

[cvcollection]

beautiful but so empty. Makes me so sad. keep up the great music, maybe the lord will send more folks

[gbp2]

@cvcollection This was the Mass of All Soul's Day. In 2009 it fell on a Monday. Somehow I expect St. Peter's is often packed!

Be at Peace, God remains at work.  Jesus remains at his side.

[Iabodeely]

This is perhaps the best version of this hymn I have found on youtube. Well done! The incorporation of Durufle's Fugue on A.L.A.I.N. was masterful.
