\"Pueri\"<\/a> About 150 youth from the dioceses of Charleston, S.C., and Savannah joined in song Sunday for a choral festival and Mass sponsored by Pueri Cantores, the student choral organization of the Catholic church.<\/p>\n

The singers, ages 7-18, performed works spanning 1,500 years – from Gregorian through the 20th century – at the service held at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.<\/p>\n

Pueri Cantores organizes regional, national and international liturgies and events for youth choirs. It currently has 110 member choirs in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The website of Pueri Cantores<\/a><\/p>\n

And do go read Gashwin’s "Tale of Two Masses". Good stuff. <\/a><\/p>\n

While I’m thinking of it, I think one of the points I would like to explore more, hints of which I have read at other blogs, is the whole issue of uniformity. The accusation is that the Missal of Pius V imposed uniformity where there had been, previously, more diversity (even acknowledging the fact that that Reform allowed the use of rites that were more than 200 years old.). The counter-<\/em>accusation, though, is that the Vatican II <\/em>reform imposed an untoward uniformity. (In terms of what’s in the books, not in practice, of course.) <\/p>\n

One more question for the discussion..<\/p>\n
