I had a meeting with our choir director: she is polite and even "open," but not really enthused. She did say they'd be doing more Latin seasonally, e.g. Advent and Lent.

Our assistant pastor has our tiny 7 a.m. daily Mass group of 10-14 singing the Sanctus and Agnus Dei. With no preparation whatsoever, but that's OK, it's so simple! I'm going to meet with him to see if we can gradually expand on that. Laus tibi, Domine!

The Agnus Dei is particularly lovely. I really enjoy the little major modal twist on "miserere nobis".

You're right, the Latin Mass is simple. Just sing it like you speak it!
