Again, a good article with a progressive point of view, and yet one is always left with the feeling that Winters is sitting on the fence when it comes to committing to genuine renewal.
      I studied early music in college. I share his love of Byrd, Paletrina, Mozart, et t. al. 
There is no reason why a genuinely contemporary English translation of the liturgy could not use music from any era of history, providing it had liturgical relevance. 
      The travesty that is the present translation would give the impression that the original Latin is the authentic liturgical rite that best represents the churches mission in history.  Actually, Latin is the language of empire and the advent of the church of Constantine and the adoption of monarchy as a model of Papal supremacy. Would that Winters did not come off like a privileged snob, but what can you say  when an era of liturgical music is dismissed out-of-hand as mediocre and unfit for worship?
