York Use - Solemn Te Deum before the Blessed Sacrament

An "antiquarian" liturgy, yet a living liturgy, which connects us to our ancestors, to the saints, and to the historical church. Modern liturgies are often trendy, "horizontal", something that WE do for ourselves and God. Old liturgies are in a sense, "vertical", something that GOD does for us. We bend to their demands (not the other way around) and become connected corporately to something greater than ourselves. All senses are employed, and the ritual speaks to our heads AND hearts.

The Latin is so spiritually soothing. Nice visuals too.

@Vitrearum : It appears you are getting used to it. The English mediaeval style vestments and ornaments are beautiful, a stark contrast to the skimpy Tridentine ones pictured on the church's web site (the "liturgical norm"?) Are the ornaments in the video left over from an earlier regime at All Saints, or borrowed from elsewhere? The chanting and the Redford are impressive and rarely heard--I wish I could hear the organ better.
-
What strikes me though, is that I don't really think God (if such a thing exists) would mind either way -- or morever, the ceremonies are wonderful, regardless of what Rome or God thinks.

The organ sounds like a calliope!

Indeed it is, stripped of its baroque fittings.

Everyone assumes his liturgical rôle with dignity and modesty. Well done.

Thank you. We are getting used to doing this sort of thing.

A number of points. Firstly it is intended to be antiquarian, this is not the liturgical norm in the parish. The mass was intended to provide a feel for the liturgical heritage of the church. A couple of musical points. Yes the organ is more sweetly voiced than medieval organs, but it was all we had available. In terms of the schola, we probably had rather more singers than they had in the Middle Ages. This was a small parish church in one of the poorer parts of city.
