Elevator Music for the Pope's Mass in Germany?
Do the Germans really dislike their Pope this much? Since the start of his Pontificate, he has asked that a return be made to a more solemn and traditional approach to the mass..particularly when it comes to the music. A rich heritage--forgotten and trampled in Germany...& right in front of the Pontiff.

It is kind to call this elevator music, actually it is very New Age pablum, sentimental feel-good sounds, suitable for the self-centered mood of the last two centuries. However, at this time, we don't know what the Pope's reaction was. At least privately, I think he should let the German hierarchy or those responsible for the setting of the liturgy there.
