Despite WHAT "Liturgical Experts" Think, Young People LOVE Gregorian Chant

On this Past 4th Sunday Of Advent, I was at the 5:15PM Mass at St Agnes, East 43rd Street in Midtown. It was the Ordinary Rite of The Mass & NOT the Traditional Latin Mass, but I heard The Following:
The Kyrie was sung in Greek;
The Agnus Dei was sung in Latin;
The Communion Antiphon was chanted in Latin;
Only ONE Hymn, "Veni, Veni Emmanuel" was sung, with two verses at the Beginning of Mass & two verses at The End Of Mass;
NO Haugen-Haas Hymns are ever sung here;
People either queue to receive The Eucharist, or they Actually Kneel to receive the Eucharist;
The Families and Young People do appreciate this type of Mass. This is NOT The "Michael Row The Boat Ashore" kind of crowd. There can be beauty in the Current Rite of The Mass. People DO want this kind of Liturgy. No Guitarists Need Apply;

The Pez Report-Merry Christmas;
