At the estimable Assumption Grotto parish in Detroit, for Easter and for Low Sunday you will be able to enjoy a Solemn Mass with music by Paul Paray.
Paray’s Mass for the 500th Anniversary of the Death of Joan of Arc will be sung. You might not know Paray, a modern composer. Fr. Eduard Perrone, pastor at Assumption Grotto, has done a good deal of research on this musician and has seen to the recording of some of his works. Father gave me CD’s of Paray’s music some years back and they are very good.
If you are anywhere near Detroit, consider going to participate at these Masses. I wish I could be there. As a matter of fact, I wish I were the celebrant!
Kudos and thanks to Fr. Perrone for all he does for Sacred Music in the United States!
