An Easter Vigil low

Apart from the usually wonderful solemn prayers and ceremonies, the singing at this evening's Easter Vigil was a let down from that during the other masses/services of Easter Triduum. The contemporary Christian songs sung tonight provided a jarring anticlimax to all the Latin chants we had for Holy Thursday. Plus, two of the five cantors who sang the responsorial psalms were simply terrible. Even the congregation knew they were singing out of tune. It makes me wonder who selected these people to sing.
