Thanx for each of your replies. "The..." I have learned about the faster tempo, I was just looking to check the spelling of the word (alleluja must more spellings alone than any other word in the English language) and then noticed the Mozart, and was listening to several videos on you tube of that and noticed the faster, and mostly I've noticed that it has been sung solo

[Believer1996]

Jan 14:6

Ježíš mu na to řekl: "Já jsem cesta k Bohu, pravda o Bohu a život s Bohem. Proto k mému Otci můžete přijít jen skrze mne.

Efezským 5:23

Muž totiž vede ženu, jako Kristus vede své tělo - církev, pro jejíž záchranu sám zemřel. Proto má žena svého muže poslouchat, jako církev poslouchá Krista.

Neither the congregations nor the choirs of the Catholic church are putting on a performance when singing. There is no stage. All are welcome to pray in song, no auditions needed

I'm sorry but this is absolutely horrible. Check out the book "Why Catholics Can't Sing"

Thanks for the video. I used to visit my grandmother and we would stop by St. John's to see the church and the organ, which I love. For the organists out there it's a 1904 Hutchings-Votey organ with a 3 manual stop-key console. The Choir 4' Saxophone was the first ever made. I've only played it once, using the 4' Fugara coupled to the Great. Thanks again for the video and I hope to see more of this wonderful instrument (and choir) in the future.

very nice. sang this only once when our church had a traditional choir.

Nice, but the tempo is supposed to be MUCH faster. Then again, it would be harder to sing...
