I love Anglican church music, including the congregational hymn singing ... but to be perfectly honest, they all sound like this to me if I'm not looking at the Hymnal ...

For the record, the real hymn is here (warning, MIDI will play):

...although some of the words in the second verse are different.
Some of those "interpretations" were a stretch, but that said, get a big enough group singing together and you will inevitably hear only gibberish. That's probably the best argument there is against the singing of hymns by congregations, or sometimes even by choirs.
I'm not sure what it says about me as a person, but even if all I hear is gibberish, it makes me feel like I'm "home", if it is this sort of Anglican hymn.
Maybe it's just the organ, or the feel of so many singing (somewhat) together, but I like it.
I suppose it is like that pixelated, modern stained-glass window that, even devoid of content, possesses a certain beauty.
I do think that their is some 5th-rate poetry in some of the hymns in, for example, The Hymnal 1940. But some great things as well.
I'm still laughing.
Thanks Paul - I now have to clean the coffee off my laptop.
Hilarious!
Hi anglican beach party,
(I am sorry to post this as a comment here, but I can't locate your email address on your website.)
I just came across these lyrics "Where Have All the Dioceses Gone" that Wallace Hartley has composed to the tune of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone". I thought I should draw your attention to it as it might be something you would make into a music video.
Thanks, Perpetua ... it is indeed tempting.
Or, perhaps, something along the lines of that old Eric Burdon & The Animals song, San Franciscan Nights:
Old priest, young priest, feel alright ... on a warm San Franciscan night ...
