A Hundredfold: A Contemporary Folk Hymnal – bits and pieces of a mass setting.

I’m wondering why so little of this collection is in circulation these days. Nineteen Seventy-eight was pretty late for the folk mass era and a lot of these somgs aren’t really folk anyway. I also suspect WLP was pretty small beer back then, which of course has now been swallowed by GIA anyway.

I shouldn’t call these mass parts redundant really, because Sonrise has written a still usable Gospel Acclamation and a Great Amen.

The words to the Sanctus have, of course, changed and the other acclamations no longer fit liturgically, but some could still be used as chants in other circumstances I suppose.

So here’s to the lived faith and creativity of Jack Miffleton, Ken Meltz, Angel Tucciarone, Donna Friewer, Neil Blunt, Willard F. Jabusch, Lucien Deiss and Sonrise.
