The most significant, in my mind, were that the Scottish Episcopal with which St. Magnus is identified, had no musical scores to follow. It seemed that worshippers just sang from the bottom of their souls, having known the incantation all tunes since times past.
What a thoughtful song this was, poetry in song. It seemed to reflect the homily centering on the take away and ponder topic of "faith is love."
Thank you, St. Magnus choir and parishioners, for being such a gracious congregation.
Nancy, it's certainly a throwback to our roots to have a certain # of tunes in our heads, and then you just sing the tune to the words of that particular song. How lovely!
ReplyDeleteI'm not very religious but I find old churches, especially the Catholic ones here in the city, to be so soothing to the soul. I always admire how parishioners know what to say and when.
ReplyDeleteSounds like this was a wonderful experience...lovely church.
