The general consensus is that the music for the Papal Mass in D.C. was pretty awful. I will say only two things:
1) Everyone seemed to understood that the penultimate measure in the “gathering hymn” (Lasst uns erfreuen) had three beats (6, if you subdivide) just like the rest of the hymn. Good for them.
2) It wasn’t so bad that Pru couldn’t sleep through it.

Sorry, had to get that out of my system. But DC is well known for not being all that musically talented. We’re best known for our punk and hardcore scene, the glory days of which have long past, but did give the world the likes of Black Flag (Henry Rollins!), Fugazi, and such ilk. Sure, we got the Godfather of Go-Go too, but what I’m trying to say is that this isn’t a Song of Solomon sort of city.
Yes, I’m ignoring all the conservatories and classical institutes around the town… but they aint funky. And everythang that I’m gonna do betta be funky from now on.
