Chanticleer at Christmas at the MOMA on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception


A gift from Nathaniel Peters at First Things, a little late for the feast of St Nicholas, and a little early for the Nativity and Epiphany.

But just right for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated at noon at St Patrick's Co-Cathedral this day, December 8th. The neat thing about this celebration was that it included a requiem mass for a beautiful and strong 92 year old lady. Her daughter, a Sister of Charity of Leavenworth nun, said that she would be thrilled to know that her requiem mass was celebrated on this day.

Chanticleer, a group of 12 guys, is really something special. This is an Ave Maria that seems kind of low key, perhaps more suited to a Jewish peasant, not so showy as other versions. Thank you Mr Franz Biebl. And you too, Chanticleer, and YouTube too.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
