No matter how many things you post in the Sunday Bulletin, congregants often skip over the important items. Announcements 'reinforce' the key items they should actually read in the bulletin.
Chanting psalms could be a wonderful thing, but then our organist wouldn’t be able to perform.
Our Maronite liturgy is chanted from beginning to end. Our aging organist spends winters (and other extended holidays) in Florida. That leaves the congregation to chant the responses. Father tells us this is the perfect opportunity to give back to God what He gave to us ;-) We sing like the monks who chant without the benefit of an organ. Give it a try!
My parish’s music director, who bases a lot of the music from a local Passionist Fathers retreat house, during the Holy Week/Easter time, had the choir do at least one or two verses on the Latin. Also at that same retreat house there was at a music minister’s conference before the liturgy, a chanting in Latin of one verse in Latin.
