This week they’re using more then CWB2. They have Celebration (shudder) too.
Gio
Does the assembly sing the Mozart Ave?
Geoff
No. They’re not really meant to, and I don’t hear them sing half the other stuff too.
People don’t tend to join in at Communion, so it’s just decoration music for the mo.
Folk Mass music is weird to hear in a Cathedral.
no one uses the term folk music anymore that is 1970s terminology and incorrect. I refer to it as contemporary church music which is more accurate.
‘I want to walk’ was from the 70s, and the music sheet said it’s from Celebration.
I assumed it was Kevin Mayhew’s Celebration Hymnal for Everyone, and combined with it sounding like literally everything else for that era, I call it folk.
Looking deeper into it now, I can’t find it in the Celebration Hymnal index on the McCrimmon website.
The 1997 Word/Integrity Celebration hymnal doesn’t have it either.
It was the first time I noticed the cathedral use anything other than CWB2 for congregational song.
“I Want to Walk” is from the charismatic Community of Celebration AKA Celebration International ie a publisher rather than a hymnal. Some of their work, and especially “I Want to Walk”, pops up in unexpected places.
fyi, I’ve got an index to Celebration for Everyone (1994 edition) here: https://www.godsongs.net/2012/04/celebration-hymnal-for-everyone.html
What to call this music is interesting.
“Folk” isn’t right any more: Though “I Want to Walk” is certainly from the folk-era, it’s somehow more than that.
Contemporary may imply American style contemporary-Christian-music. Think guitars, synths and rock-beats initially and then large scale professionally-produced sounds. Maybe contemporary-hymns is better.
The best description I’ve seen is “church-music light” – this was used in some 1970s (ish) English circles. But it’s too long, and sounds a bit demeaning.
