Bad hymns are published by Oregon Catholic Press.

That is all.

GIA publishes their fair share.

Seriously, the last time I looked in an OCP music issue, there was a lot of decent stuff in there. That doesn't mean that it's programmed, but it's there, including a couple chant Masses that every country on Earth, except the US, knows. The thing about OCP is that they use a survey of music directors usage to determine what they put in the music issue, so, it's sort of rigged to include the tunes that are there. It doesn't matter if it's written for the voice at all.

I agree with you in principle.

I would keep encouraging everyone to keep emailing them. In the new song book there are MORE traditional hymns.

The more people that ask for them — the more OCP will take out the old yuck and put in REAL hymns.

Just type OCP in yahoo search.
