It  always takes me surprise when a piece of music triggers an unexpected 
memory.  I was just listening to "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" on NPR and 
remembered  the first I ever sang it. I was absolutely there  again.>>>>
 
This was a favorite of the Extraordinary Form RC Rite (the Tridentine  Latin
Rite) people locally.  Because of the rules about the integrity of  this 
Latin
Rite, they had to develop a Latin text for the piece.
 
Can you imagine singing "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring" in Latin?   :-)
