While it is correct to say that: "I believe the appropriate response is: "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oy, oy, oy!" " American readers should be aware that it is only used on high festivals, such as the last day of the fifth test of the Ashes.
I haven't the slightest idea what you both are talking about, but I do thank you for sending the recording along. I wish I knew how to post that. What the Australian's use is LUTHER'S setting o the Te Deum - and it is a beauty. Thanks!
The Ashes that Fraser refers to is the cricket series that has been played between Australia and England-THE OLD ENEMY in this game-for well over 130 years upon a three yearly basis . When the Poms ( Limeys to Americans) are being beaten it is indeed a time of exceedingly great joy-except in English cricket.

ReplyDeleteI too would like to hear the Australian Te Deum. (Is there such a thing as a 'bad' Te Deum?)
And I liked the Down Under affirmation of CPH for producing 'unashamedly Lutheran' things.
Good on ya mate! to the blogger and to the folks at CPH and to all who call on Christ's name for salvation.
Thanks Rev. Weedon for a nice smile on a cold rainy day in DE.

ReplyDeleteIs Luther's setting the Gregorian chant such as featured on the Lutheran Liturgical Prayer Brotherhood's blog?
