Not really unexpected....

You scored as Highbrow Protestant. You find "praise band" music more regretable than sinful, and you long instead for the likes of Wesley and Watts (all verses!), fancy choral anthems & descants, and organ pieces in minor keys.

I didn't even know any of the hymns that they named as examples. *laughs*
I like hymns best, too... but I have to admit, when it comes to Mass, I like going to the Masses where everything is spoken, except that the Agnus Dei and similar are sung in Latin with no accompaniment.
I have a pet peeve for people trying to do an impromptu harmony though. Even when they get it right (which isn't often!) it's distracting.

I got Semi-Pagan! *laughs* What an interesting quiz, just up my alley. I thought I might get Neo-Lutheran, but apparently I put too much emphasis on music instead of sincerity.

*likes Anglican chant*

The tune we use for "O Worship the King" is a very nice one, IMO, though I also like "Hanover." Interestingly, the first five notes of the two tunes are identical, as I discovered to my embarrassment the first time I sang the hymn in England from a text-only copy of a hymnal.

You can hear our tune ("Lyons") here. Click on either the midi or mp3; both are piano performances in what I'd describe as a very tasteful Gospel style (whaddya mean, "oxymoron"?).

You scored as Super-highbrow Protestant. You would look forward to a Bach cantata every Sunday morning if you could, and, as far as you know, "Newsboys" are young men in caps who sell papers from kiosks on city streets.

I think I got "super highbrow protestant" because I like music such as Taize, gospel, P&W, Shape Note Singing, for prayer gatherings, but when it's the Mass I like Gregorian Chant and sacred polyphony.
