Ad majoram Dei gloriam
"For he that singeth praise, not only praiseth, but only praiseth with gladness: he that singeth praise, not only singeth, but also loveth him of whom he singeth. In praise, there is the speaking forth of one confessing; in singing, the affection of one loving."
(St. Augustine, Commentary on Psalm 73, 1)

My Likes and Dislikes

Please note that these are my personal likes and dislikes - and I'll even note why I am or am not crazy about a particular pieces.

Likes:
  • What Child Is This? - simply because it is celtic
  • Celtic Alleluia - see above
  • Mary, Did You Know? - pretty song but I listed it below as well
  • How Beautiful - a pretty contemporary song about serving hands

Dislikes:
  • Be Not Afraid - lovely words, but all the dotted 8th notes are so confusing that is is hard to follow if you are not a reader of music notes...
  • Mary, Did You Know? - as a Catholic I think this song treats OUr BLessed Mother as just another female and not 'full of grace' and one who at least had a little clue as to her Son's destiny (remember, these are my personal opinions - not meant to start an argument)
  • Ashes - to me, it is heretical - We do NOT create ourselves anew - only God creates
