Jazz Mass Enthuses
Bethesda Church Choir
Washington, D. c..
SotUrdoy, Moy IS, 1861

St. Luke's rector, the Rev,
Thomas Allen. likes most of the
mass, too. But must admit the
beguine sections seem pretty
strange. My musical prejudices
are showing, I guess.
Il told the bishop what we
are doing and he said. Fine "
Now all you've got to do,
Tom, is convince the parish
ioners." said a young alto.
That may not be too diff
cult. A recent Thursday night
service included a modern
dance in the chancel. and such
innovations as chancel drama
are almost considered tradi-
tional in the young church.
Written by BritOn
The modern mass was writ
ten by a Church of England
priest, the Rev. Godfrey Beau
mont, in an attempt to reach
the unchurched. Recalling that
the ancient church music still
used in most churches was bor-
rowed by the early church from
the pagan music of the times.
the priest wrote the mass in
the style of contemporary pop
music.
The mass also is written so
that large parts can be sung
by the congregation by simply
repeating phrases first sung by
a cantor, in this case William
Ball, a prize-winning barber
shop tenor
At a recent rehearsal, one
member of the instrumental
group that is accompanying
/ the choir asked a question that
seemed to set the pace of the
evening:
Hey, wait minute" he said
with a glare at the drummer
lis the Pater Noster going to
be a beguine or a shuffle?"
