Gotta see to believe
It’s amazing what monks with a vow of silence can accomplish.
With a biretta tip to CMR... you might actually LOL.

Absolutely delightful!
Comment by stephenmozier — 5 December 2009 @ 8:45 pmINSTANTLY forwarded to our Music Director.
I owe him one. We missed Wednesday choir practice before our Advent concert, so Emailed him to ask what the final lineup was.
He responded “We will open with Sing to the Mountains, followed by Earthen Vessels, then move to Glory and Praise to Our God.”
After I picked myself up off the office floor, I scrolled down and he revealed the actual lineup (chant, medieval and Renaissance polyphony). Whew! I thought either I had Emailed the “contemporary” “choir” director by mistake, or he’d lost his mind . . . . .
Comment by An American Mother — 5 December 2009 @ 9:00 pmAwesome!!
Comment by sugrue — 5 December 2009 @ 9:17 pmThanks for that good laugh, Father. I needed it today!
Comment by Jaybirdnbham — 5 December 2009 @ 11:43 pmWho WERE those hooded monks?

Comment by zapman449 — 6 December 2009 @ 6:32 amExcellent! Truly!
Comment by TNCath — 6 December 2009 @ 9:27 amSee this earlier version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCFCeJTEzNU
Video is not all that good, but clearly the later performance was based on this one from “Pine Creek Methodist Church” almost a year earlier.
There likely have been many earlier versions. Who was the real original genius behind it all?
Comment by Mike Morrow — 6 December 2009 @ 1:00 pmThat is hilarious.
Comment by kat — 6 December 2009 @ 1:08 pmThanks for the laugh!
Whoops! Wrong URL for early version. Correct is:

Comment by Mike Morrow — 6 December 2009 @ 1:10 pmI sent this to many of my friends online. This is hysterical. Thanks so much.
Happy St. Nicholas’ Day.
Comment by Supertradmom — 6 December 2009 @ 2:50 pmHilarious!! I laughed myself to tears!
Comment by Ferde Rombola — 6 December 2009 @ 6:48 pmThen here’s this excellent version, from a year ago at the First Baptist Church in Brinkley, Arkansas:

Comment by Mike Morrow — 6 December 2009 @ 7:36 pmThis version is quite well done, from 2007:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HkXmOIwpkQ&NR=1
There appears to be a number of other similar performances recorded on YouTube.
Comment by Mike Morrow — 6 December 2009 @ 7:49 pmI went on ‘Servant and Steward’ [Fr. Daren Zehnle’s blog] and ‘Creative Minority Report’ to watch this…it was hysterical! My eyes kept tearing up, but I couldn’t laugh out loud because I was watching it at the library!
Very creative, especially with the ‘foot cards’!
Wonder what Handel would think of this….
