@Samaritanable It indeed does sound like it. Unlike the old version, this version has a very limited range. When it has a general range of a fifth (touching a sixth at the end), you know it's old.
The mass commerating what Jesus did abt 2000 years ago..And by the way the PIPE ORGAN as a musical instrument was prohibited in the church...And read the psalm 150... that should tell you of what instruments should be used in the church... and Vatican 2 allows other instruments by the way...the mass is a joyful event.. not to mourn with dull music...
@resultant64 Mass is not a festival, it is a sacrificial meal. Can polyphony be incorporated into the new translation? Sure. But do we need Marty Haugen up there on the guitar? Absolutely not.
A beautiful and moving chant setting. Most of it is sung on only 3 notes, in La pentatonic, creating a minimalist affect. It is in mode three and the Amen at the end has the only half step in it, the note above the final, and makes a glorious ending.
how beautiful is this!

I prefer the old one with tune, been singing for years and so used to it. This new Gloria sounds like gregorian chant.
