This summer we went to Austria, my first visit there which did not include a stay in Vienna. We were in the far west of the country, and the local church is one of a few dozen in Austria which regularly celebrate the Tridentine liturgy, for which so many Mass settings I sing was written. I went along out of interest; the musical contribution was a couple of hymns (Austrian churches supply the congregation with music editions of the hymnbook) and a fair chunk of plainchant, mostly from the Missa de Angelis. At the Agnus Dei I wanted to help out the priest who got lost at one point, but decided I was not sure which parts should be congregational.
There weren’t really other musical highlights from this holiday, apart from noticing a musical box for sale in Zurich which, rather unusually, played music from Stravinsky’s Firebird.
