You can he...Thanks, anon - I didn't know that.<br /><br />You can hear the crotalus in its Maundy Thursday context <a href="http://www.saintthomaschurch.org/calendar/events/worship-services/8860/the-solemn-liturgy-of-maundy-thursday" rel="nofollow">at this page</a>; its from St. Thomas Church New York. It's sounded at the consecration (which begins at about 73 minutes into the audio file.) They will eventually remove this audio file, but it's there now.<br /><br />It does sound different here - more like the rattlesnake, actually.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!blshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627725321531151309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11760886.post-87261329495870994072014-05-11T00:29:36.608-04:002014-05-11T00:29:36.608-04:00I know this is coming four years after the post, b...I know this is coming four years after the post, but I was just looking for a video with the sound of the crotalus since I was telling my brother about it.<br /><br />After showing him a comment on Fr Zuhlsdorf's blog that it sounds like the whip cracking on Christ's back, he saw a video (not this one) with the instrument itself and dismissed it as a New Year's toy (he can be a party pooper, sometimes, but that's something he picked up from me - unfortunate, I know, but not always).<br /><br />Pity he didn't stay as I was listening to the video here, where it does sound like a whip. Likely the difference in the two videos lay in where and how the instrument was used.<br /><br />Would you believe, then, I'm really only commenting to correct part of the French translation - «enfant de chœur» is how Francophones say "altar boy" or the more PC version of it now, "altar server". (The «chœur» may refer to the fact they sat in choir or dressed as those who did.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
