Read MoreFive stars, because I’m confident the pastor’s heart is in the right place, and the people there are probably exemplary Christians. However, despite the sincere efforts of the music director and choir, the music, in my humble opinion, needs an overhaul. Generally poor selection of music. For the love of God, enough of the saccharine ditties from the 1970s-1990s. It’s tiresome, uninspiring, and insipid. The Church has a centuries-old tradition of great music that was actually composed before 1970. And please retire the drums, bells, guitars, and chimes. This isn’t 1969 anymore. We’re tired of it.
How about this recipe: a good organist and a good cantor, and a variety of beautiful sacred music. Hymns that are doctrinally strong and musically beautiful. Hymns that people will want to sing. Hymns that make people desire to grow in faith. Enough of the garage band approach. I appreciate the generosity and devotion of the musicians and singers who have been volunteering their best efforts. But the liturgy deserves beautiful music performed with skill and beauty. It doesn’t need to be all Palestrina and Bach. It doesn’t have to be complicated. But it should be beautiful, on pitch, and a level above contemporary pop tunes.
