Report on the decline of the New Mass in Latin in the U.S.

[The_Harlequin_King]

  In my parish  (LM) you have to audition and be able to read music before you can join the Choir.  I'm a piano teacher and a pretty good singer and I don't know if I will be accepted.  This is really a professional group.

That sounds like a lot of Anglican/Episcopal churches. Ideally, there's so much supply in choir-hopefuls that the doors are busting open with audition-seekers.

Our Gregorian schola can't afford to do auditioning since there are so few volunteers in the first place. We're lucky to have four choristers on a given Sunday Mass.
