Music by The Beatles is several cuts above the average pop-chune: I’ve sung choral arrangements of some of their works, and there is some serious depth/difficulty in them, even when the words are, umm, less serious.

I am surprised that Let it Be is to popular though: Mother Mary’s words aren’t that God-ly. But it gets quite a positive reaction from Irish congregations.

Other weeks in May have ended with Bring Flowers of the Rarest, Hail Queen of Heaven, When Creation was Begun, and of course Our Lady of Knock!

I once used “Here Comes the Sun” in a liturgy but I don’t think I’d get away with the Beatles these days.

Is “Let It Be” commonly used as a Marian hymn?
