What is missing is an Extraordinary Form of Mass, Tridentine. The last time was 1996 and crowds were on the sidewalks. It was so popular that the then Bishop said never again in my Cathedral. That is wrong. They have Masses in all languages EXCEPT Latin. There should be at least one in our Cathedral, whether it be Tridentine or Novus Ordo. New Yorkers have a right and have demonstrated their attachment to this Form. Let;s see what Dolan does. Will he hear his flock?
No sound! I love the comments about vestments, incense etc. The Catholic Church is like a big tent... room for everybody and everything under the sun. Nut cases included. LOL

I couldn't agree more. Do not complain about the bad video footage. I'm an organist myself and there's alot to be said about the wonderful organ at St. Patricks. Talk about power!! This is for people who value good music in the church! Want a tour of the church go on Sunday after mass.

This is boring. No shots or closeups of the High Altar or the priests saying Mass. Why cares about the damn organ in the back of the church. We want to see vestments and incense!!!!!!!!
@MyBetty111 Let me offer my sincerest apologies that this video does not cater to your very specific interests. If you have a problem with it, go make your own video and sod off.
@TVWriterGuy Why would anyone want to "see" incense? You're obviously not very familiar with scripture: "Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense..." (Psalm 141:2). "And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy [place], that the cloud [i.e. incense] filled the house of the LORD..." (1 Kings 8:10).
"And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power..." (Revelation 15:8). And so forth and so on. I too love watching a priest cense an altar..
@TVWriterGuy I'm glad to have given you the chance to see it. It is truly breathtaking. And this has nothing to do with your username, but I always thought
I'd be a great TV writer... if you're, uh, hiring. ;)
@TheMaestro42 Most of us these days are producing our own projects and using the Internet as a venue. So, in a sense, you already are a TV writer of the 21st century.
@TVWriterGuy Trying to photograph a church service is difficult, as some regard it as disrespectful in any event. Those videos which show specific things are often done in cooperation with the clergy, and not merely by someone in attendance. So, TheMaestro42 is entitled to our thanks for at least trying.
If you have ever attended Christmas Mass at St Patrick's, you know what a wonderful event it is. Thank you for helping me relive that special moment. "O God builder and architect of this great city, may we always cherish your love in our hearts and may we see in this great city a reflection of the New Jerusalem. Amen."
I completely agree with "TheMaestro42" !!! It's always easier to criticize one's doing ! I notice that you (Tippymugs) have probably never been in a "national cathedral" ; for being french and living in Paris, i can asure you that Notre Dame Cathedral is always full of people taking videos.... as long as people respect, i don't see the problem !

THE most unwelcoming and unChristian cathedral in the World. I have travelled to 103 different cathedrals all over the world to perfom. The music departmnet here are a disgrace!!
A grand organ played by a great organist leading the congregation in the singing of the hymn "Adeste Fidelies" (Come Near O Faithful Ones)! All glory to Almighty God.
And what about the ethnics of the population we are talking about? How many Americans, excluding people who have origins in Latin America, Ireland, Italy or France?
Wow, you certainly are rude! I was going to reply the same way, but that attitude would be actually stupid. I am sorry if I have offended you, but I am at a loss about the Catholic Church presence in the States, that's why I asked rather ironically in the first place.
My Church History and US History teacher, a Benedictine monk of the monastery affiliated with my school, grew up in this area and said he remembers BUYING tickets just to go to midnight mass at St. Patrick's.
I know a choir (my aunt is in it) and they were giving a performance there. They said that they were treated extremely rudely and it was a horrible experience. The choir had traveled all the way from here in Ireland and this was supposed to have been the climax of the trip.
My church sang this in Latin with full organ, harp, clarinet, trumpet and full men's chorus. The sound was so powerful that passersby on the sidewalk stopped in to see what was going on at church so late at night.
One thing that I like about Christmas music, is that the organist at my church(St John's Worcester,MA) plays the organ loud, and the people actually join the choir in singing some of the most modern carols. I say that because my church sings a lot of hymns that date back to the late 1800's-early 1900's.
Yeah St John's RC church in my town is scared of waking someone or something during masses. I went to chrisymas eve there and it was so boring and quiet. This Hymn deserves a near full organ sound. When I play it at Old First I play near full tutti to introduce it, then back off a bit. It get's people to sing robustly knowing they have that backup of the organ.
Why start off big and die down to 16, 8, 4, and 2? I usually start off with Full, 16-Mixtures with full Swell Reeds...then turn off the Pedal 16 and 8 reeds, leave the swell 16 and 8 reeds on, coupled to pedal. last verse i go back to the first registration, and add the biggest pedal reed for the last line
a lot of people, well, yanks actually. love annoying people of other countrys in normal regular times, and on paddy's day this will not have changed in ANY way, shape or indeed form, on Saint Patrick's Day remember it is often more realistic to own a Full Valid IRISH Passport BEFORE you can pretend to be Irish.
in the 1st time in 22 years ''the simpsons'' will be broadcast on Saint Patrick's Day in another country before the united states, SKY 1 tv on digital pay satellite will brodcast an irish themed simsons episode on st Paddy's Day. [SKY 1 Ireland ] which means it will be on You Tube Shortly after ..
St. Patrick's is such a beautiful place, and I love attending Mass there. They probably draw 300 people to every single weekday Mass, and I don't KNOW how many are there on Sunday. And yes, there is a regular crowd of regular attendees. There is also the Mary Chapel, which is kept quiet, prayerful, and free of tourists. A wonderful, wonderful place.
Well, not being religious is perhaps a good thing. I am very spiritual, but not bound to religion. I am not Catholic, but I recognize the sacredness in this hymn and cathedral.
The cameras don't bother me but many ultra-traditional types would object and find it undignified. As a NY'er let me tell you that St. Pat's is a BIG tourist place and many in the pews are not even Catholics. Some of them contra the canon law even take communion.
The problem with cathedrals is they have no resident congregation and everyone is a stranger. Whatever your denomination find a smaller place of worship where like the sitcom CHEERS, everyone knows your name.
I don't have the sheet music for this version of O Come All Ye Faithful, but thanks to this awesome video I have listened to this extensively and memorized it. I have been to St. Patrick's Cathedral and it is gorgeous and the organ itself is an experience. My next organ to visit..WANAMAKER!!
i dont have the sheet music for this version of O Come all Ye Faithful but i've listened to this video extensively and memorized this version...I will be playing it this year for midnight mass at my church...it is absolutely gorgeous!!!
About cameras...In Paris at Notre Dame,Saint Sulpice,Saint Eustache you CAN use cameras...And also in N.Y. at Saint Patrick and others giants and famous cathedrals around the world.Just in a little is forbiden.
the drums, the bells, and the great organ gave me goose bumps!!!! i wish we had a beautiful cathedral here in my area. :( instead i have to watch online. thanks for the clips of midnight mass!
Was this a service of worship, or a media event? Whoever taped it should have kept the camera still, and there were far too many digital cameras to suit me. Pretty, anyway.
As the title clearly states, it is the Midnight Mass, which is not a media event; though it is televised.
Who cares about the number of cameras there? It is a beautiful thing, and people want to remember it.
And as for the movement of the camera... you are welcome to go and record your own video, implementing whichever techniques of camera movement you so choose. As for me, I prefer not to stare at one fixed point in space for too long.

The cathedral sure looks beautiful, but I could never go there. Egan is intolerant, and is doing a terrible job in my opinion. If I were to visit a cathedeal in NY, I'd go to St. John the Divine instead (the Episcopal cathedral).
These days most Catholic Churches celebrate services solely in English. You find a few exceptions especially in more traditional or diverse settings. As such though the priest's sermon has never been in Latin as it is addressed to the people.
Until the council of "Vatican II" in the 60s, mass was exclusively celebrated in Latin (except for the homely). Since then, masses are celebrated in the local language (English in England, French in France, etc...). However, there remains several places where Latin is used. Even in the "modern" masses, Latin hasn't totally disappeared. Several chants, prayers, litanies, are told in Latin.
no course its not ignorant, non catholics wouldnt really be expected to know what the tradentine mass is. It basically means traditional latin mass! Now days the catholic novice order (new mass settings) are all done in english and are not really to my liking, I prefer the traditional latin mass which i sometimes attend in Edinburgh but this is not always possible for me.
Comme c'est impressionnant! il n'y a vraiment qu'en amérique que cette fête de Noël prend une dimension magique avec les moyens colossaux. Cependant mon avis pour ce qui est du jeux de l'organiste (surtout au tout début et à la fin), n'a-t-il pas abusé de la boisson lors du réveillon précédent l'office?? c'est un peu limite... Par contre les trouvailles harmoniques de Willcocks dans la dernière reprise sont vraiment géniales, on ne s'en lasse pas!
I have played this organ...it took a LOT of paper work....ugh.... i did HOMEWORK just to play this oirgan.....it was AWSOME and i think i blew a eardrum...ow...AWSOME
We do an arrangement at the Cathedral of Sts. Peter Paul, Providence, RI by Sir David Willcocks with a 20 second trumpet fanfare and the organ blaring at the beginning. I have the recording but not put on YouTube in video form.
It is too Bad that the audio to this video no longer works......I really enjoyed listening to it when it did. I thank you for putting it up and keeping it up, I will see what can be done about it

I don't have the sheet music for this version of O Come All Ye Faithful, but thanks to this awesome video I have listened to this extensively and memorized it. I have been to St. Patrick's Cathedral and it is gorgeous and the organ itself is an experience. My next organ to visit..WANAMAKER!!

If I can hear it correctly I believe this is the david Willcocks arrangment. Beautiful! You can find it in the green book of Carols for Choirs.

O Come All Ye Faithful

Was this a service of worship, or a media event? Whoever taped it should have kept the camera still, and there were far too many digital cameras to suit me. Pretty, anyway.

As the title clearly states, it is the Midnight Mass, which is not a media event; though it is televised.
Who cares about the number of cameras there? It is a beautiful thing, and people want to remember it.
And as for the movement of the camera... you are welcome to go and record your own video, implementing whichever techniques of camera movement you so choose. As for me, I prefer not to stare at one fixed point in space for too long.

when cameras are outlawed---only outlaws will have cameras...

Cameras aren't outlawed in church unless the priest or whoever makes up the rules to have camera's or not says "No cameras or video cameras"

The cathedral sure looks beautiful, but I could never go there. Egan is intolerant, and is doing a terrible job in my opinion. If I were to visit a cathedeal in NY, I'd go to St. John the Divine instead (the Episcopal cathedral).

i have a question about catholic churches?
Does the priest spreech in latin during a church service?
FcK2420 3 years ago
Not entirely.
TheMaestro42 3 years ago
These days most Catholic Churches celebrate services solely in English. You find a few exceptions especially in more traditional or diverse settings. As such though the priest's sermon has never been in Latin as it is addressed to the people.

Where I live (Manchester, England) there is a church (Holy Name church) that does mass in Latin.
qwertasdcfghjklmo24z 2 years ago 3
In fact Pope Benedict did approve the Latin Mass recently.
It'll take some years probably before many of the churches offer masses in Latin, but it is adopted and approved by the Pope.

well its still done i go to latin mass in edinburgh
joeyboi87 3 years ago
Until the council of "Vatican II" in the 60s, mass was exclusively celebrated in Latin (except for the homely). Since then, masses are celebrated in the local language (English in England, French in France, etc...). However, there remains several places where Latin is used. Even in the "modern" masses, Latin hasn't totally disappeared. Several chants, prayers, litanies, are told in Latin.
Ite, missa est.

no only if its at a tradentine mass!!
joeyboi87 3 years ago
what does this mean?please excuse my ignorance
andywolfie9 3 years ago
no course its not ignorant, non catholics wouldnt really be expected to know what the tradentine mass is. It basically means traditional latin mass! Now days the catholic novice order (new mass settings) are all done in english and are not really to my liking, I prefer the traditional latin mass which i sometimes attend in Edinburgh but this is not always possible for me.

Comme c'est impressionnant! il n'y a vraiment qu'en amérique que cette fête de Noël prend une dimension magique avec les moyens colossaux. Cependant mon avis pour ce qui est du jeux de l'organiste (surtout au tout début et à la fin), n'a-t-il pas abusé de la boisson lors du réveillon précédent l'office?? c'est un peu limite... Par contre les trouvailles harmoniques de Willcocks dans la dernière reprise sont vraiment géniales, on ne s'en lasse pas!

Spectacular. Who is the arranger? The chromatic progressions in the final verse and organ finale cannot be described in words.
rzabransky 4 years ago
The arrangement is the most popular one by Sir David Willcocks. The finale is improvised.
TheMaestro42 4 years ago
We do an arrangement at the Cathedral of Sts. Peter Paul, Providence, RI by Sir David Willcocks with a 20 second trumpet fanfare and the organ blaring at the beginning. I have the recording but not put on YouTube in video form.
