Fr. Larry. . . Varias Cosas The freedom felt after the Church switch to the vernacular gave us a period of exuberance in liturgy. I was there. Let’s put ourselves in the late 60’s. People sang a lot together in those days! I was there especially with youth groups. Ray Repp, one of the first on the Church’s fresh musical American Bandstand, began rolling out ditties like: “Here we are, all together as we sing our song – joyfully.” It was sing-along music, but much of it was awful and unliturgical. Guitar Masses were the specialty of the day. Often, because of the lack of new, better, liturgical music, we baptized some secular, popular songs. Remember: “Come on people, now, smile on each other; everybody get together, try to love one another right now.” We were at the end of the folk song craze so we borrowed a few of these in the 60’s and early 70’s which took us once in a while to a more thoughtful place – “Where have all the Flowers Gone” and “Sounds of Silence.” Heck, I remember having a high school band at my first Mass at Holy Cross in Santa Cruz in 1969 playing “Sounds of Silence” during the presentation of the gifts. We were grabbing music from everywhere; it seems, during those early “vernacular” years. Of course, you have to recall the times – a period of very creative, eclectic secular music which we still hear today because of its innovation and often lofty themes. You see, several sources of such thoughtfulness were converging. The Elvis phenomenon was dying down and the very creative Beatles music appeared. The hippies were talking freedom and love (with a drug culture, sadly) and Vietnam War protests were reaching a peak. Bob Dylan told us the “Times are Changin’” and they certainly were. So, anti-war songs, love songs, freedom songs and songs searching for meaning became the context for the new freedom in Church music. I remember, when leading some high school and college youth groups, coming together over cokes and pizza and , with a guitar or two and with a mandolin or banjo at times; sitting in a big circle and singing and singing into the late night – a seemingly endless repertoire of folk, pop and religious music. No wonder some conservative folk were shocked. What happened to Dies Irae? The corner was turned, I think, in the minds of many about youth and their church music about 1973, at least in Monterey. It was a Christmas midnight Mass. I was presider. Along with an excellent young guitarist and a few others, we put together what could only be called a youth orchestra. Friends called friends with great musical talent. They rehearsed a few times the midnight Mass was what would then have been called a “happening.” We even had a complete drum set. These kids put together a blend of Christmas carols old and new with all the mass responses and with various kinds of innovative beats complete with forms and solos that you would not believe possible. The applause and cheering after mass would not stop and they sang and played for another 40 minutes. Most of the assembly remained to hear it. What a joyful Mass! What a “thumbs up” for Vatican II. I have heard nothing like that since, but I’m still waiting. Put solid Eucharistic prayer, the exuberance and talent of youth and the occasion of a Church festival together and the result is dynamite! Do it in Latin? No way. Father Larry Kambitsch
