I replied to your comment about how Mass of St. Ann is going, but it doesn’t seem to have sent so I’ll give a quick recap again.
It is definitely more contemporary than anything we have done so it took a while for us (and our music ministers) to get used to. The middle of the Gloria took at least a couple months for our every-other-Saturday ensemble to master. The congregation’s biggest difficulty still is the three quick Holy’s on the Sanctus. Most people try to wait in between them, like the Glory’s at the beginning of the Gloria. It sounds good with just a piano, but I love when we have a full ensemble (piano, drums, guitar, bass, flute). I especially like when all the instruments drop out on the final refrain of the Gloria and come back in really strong on the word “God.” I tend to get sick of a mass setting after a couple months, but after using this one for several months, I’m still enjoying it. I don’t think my other more traditional parish could pull it off, but I’d recommend it for more contemporary parishes.
