Enya: O Come O Come Emmanuel
12/18/2010
Weekend Music
Ok, if you want to say the timeless purity of this hymn is not especially well served by Enya's lush treatment, I won't argue with you. I'll grant the case in the abstract. But I think it's beautiful, and besides I've already revealed my weakness for Enya by posting "Orinoco Flow" last weekend. And credit to Enya for singing it in Latin as well as English. I also realize that my mostly Catholic readers may be just a bit weary of the tune by this point in Advent, because you've probably heard it at every Mass since the beginning of Advent. You are hereby granted a dispensation from clicking the "play" button.
Well, we haven't sung it *once* all advent, and I was rather looking forward to singing it today, but something about holding hands was sung instead.

I forget which document of Vatican II it is that says holding hands is to be an integral part of Catholic worship. It must be in there somewhere, though.
