Such a personal thing, isn’t it, music? Our own formulations, our own likes and our own dislikes which we, I’m sure, on occasion, are all tempted to rehearse. “What I can’t stand is…” whatever. We all have that within us. Isn’t it interesting that God in his providence gives us a form of communal celebration which contains something which is so very personal, and which we are called to, somehow, overcome any personal thought or tendency and accept something which unites us, rather than divides us.
