Exorcist Speaks on Gregorian Chant ~ Fr Ripperger Interview

Exorcist and Theologian Fr Ripperger answers some interesting questions regarding Gregorian Chant!
(Note: To anyone who is offended that I forgot one question: As mentioned in the interview, that was a rather hectic day for me. I did have a formal list of questions which I had sent to him ahead of time, but there were many extenuating circumstances that caused me to forget one of them. First of all, Father Ripperger is a personal friend, and I explained to him before recording that my mind was a bit frazzled at the moment because one my sheep had just lambed and that morning I was scrambling to move them and their pens from my dad's house over to mine. I broke off from that in the middle of it and rushed back to my dad's house to do the interview and then was experiencing both computer and printer problems and was unable to print out my list of questions. Of course, none of this bothered Father in the least. So because of these and other circumstances and the effect they had on me, I forgot one of the questions.)

*Footnote
After this interview I stumbled upon this article by Fr Z (https://wdtprs.com/2006/06/who-sings-well-prays-twice-not/) who shows how this famous quote is not the exact words of St Augustine but a kind of summation of what he says in his Exposition of Ps 72:1, quoted here:
"This Psalm has an inscription, that is, a title, There have failed the hymns of David, the son of Jesse. A Psalm of Asaph himself. So many Psalms we have on the titles whereof is written the name David, nowhere there is added, son of Jesse, except in this alone. Which we must believe has not been done to no purpose, nor capriciously. For everywhere God does make intimations to us, and to the understanding thereof does invite the godly study of love. What is, there have failed the hymns of David, the son of Jesse? Hymns are praises of God accompanied with singing: hymns are songs containing the praise of God. If there be praise, and it be not of God, it is no hymn: if there be praise, and God's praise, and it be not sung, it is no hymn. It must needs then, if it be a hymn, have these three things, both praise, and that of God, and singing. What is then, there have failed the hymns? There have failed the praises which are sung unto God. He seems to tell of a thing painful, and so to speak deplorable. For he that sings praise, not only praises, but only praises with gladness: he that sings praise, not only sings, but also loves him of whom he sings. In praise, there is the speaking forth of one confessing; in singing, the affection of one loving. There have failed then the hymns of David, he says: and he has added, the son of Jesse. For David was king of Israel, son of Jesse, 1 Samuel 16:19 at a certain time of the Old Testament, at which time the New Testament was therein hidden, like fruit in a root. ..."
