Comment:	I was a seminarian in the greater Boston area, and our folk singing group introduced parishes there to the new vernacular mass in 1965-66. The Catholic Church had no tradition of English hymns, so it eagerly latched onto Repp's contemporary folk songs. Outside of Southern Gospel, mainline Protestant churches didn't have a contemporary folk tradition either, so they followed suit. Some of Repp's early work were truly inspiring, have become classic, while other songs, though popular initially, were somewhat amateurish. In Rebb, we were lucky to have not only a gifted composer, but a visionary of what truy constitutes truly worshipful music.
