You were objecting to my saying that one needs to have a well-trained choir to do Palestrina. Now you seem to be agreeing with me.

My wife comes from a small town in Wisconsin. Whenever I heard Garrison Keillor give the News from Lake Wobegon, my mental image was Princeton, Wisconsin -- Princeton has a river, not a lake, and German Lutherans and Polish Catholics instead of Norwegian Lutherans and German Catholics. I have attended mass at St John the Baptist in Princeton many times. Having the choir of that parish attempt Palestrina would not be a challenge, it would be a disaster. It would be like having the Princeton High School choir attempt Boris Gudenov.

As I said, your actual objection to music like Schutte's is that you, personally, dislike it. My musical tastes don't really run to it either. (My favorite pieces of religious music are the Kyrie and the Gloria from Mozart's Great Mass in C.) But I do not insist that my personal tastes should dictate what others perform.
