It was the non-Catholic Taize chanting source which HELPED me both discover and appriciate the older Catholic sources of liturgy music. This is very important because I grew up, as a child of the VC II NOT knowing ANY of the older Catholic sources in regards to music. I have on my iTunes music roster chants from the Spanish Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos.

That is why, I say that Taize should be given CREDIT where CREDIT is DUE, for honoring this RICH music heritage. For this is why I say it is a begining level to chant.

Great!

I don't see that as the typical reaction...but if, in your case, it worked, fantastic.

You do realize that, other than the articles I post and any Magesterial source I cite, all posts are IMHO and most definitely FWIW. Therefore, it should go without saying, YMMV!!!!!
