Funny. One of the richest dioceses in the world produces "sacred music"
Ash Wednesday in Cologne, Germany. Cardinal is Reinhard Maria Woelki

I don't want to judge this music wrong by its quality, while this music in this video can only be performed by a true professional and is very difficult to perform.
For the listener. You need much education to hear the grace in this music though. That brings us to the point that we do judge, that while this music is well performed (by the soprano, the organ part is very difficult) it is not really music where you can say (I can hear God and the heavens in this music), just because maybe as is said elsewhere, it is not a choir. So maybe this music is not well ubicated inside the church at this time and moment. I do think it can be used as intermezzos in between some sacred choir music like below (young people choir). For all just want to say that the soprano does a good professional job, but please not in this way..

Do we still need a proof that demons have entered the German Church? In psychiatry you will be medicated if you show such symptoms. 😀

The germans are for the birds for sure. Did you hear the soprano hissing like a snake during the Kyrie and looking quite demonic? They've gone bats!

It's not funny. It's tragic.
