Children don't like plainsong and polyphony?

In today's Catholic Herald, an interesting article about a successful parish music program in the Midlands. Here, children enjoy singing Missa Orbis Factor alongside motets by Victoria, Tallis and Elgar.


As one who has experienced the same with the children in our choirs, it is interesting to note how children are able to instinctively judge what is good quality music (both old & new) and what is not!
