My guess is the Chepponis piece. I'm sorry to say he's the musical director for my diocese (Pittsburgh). He has horrible taste in music, both what he picks and what he writes.

I'll say the Sanctus...Richard Proulx has a style all his own. That's why he's my all-time favorite composer.

PAN DE VIDA

"Pan de Vida".

Who snuck that one in?

Well, it seems I've been spared having to sing Inna Panna da Vida, as I have a cold and will not attend today's Chrism Mass. Over at Dom's, by the way, there's talk that new auxiliaries may be announced at the Mass.
