Excellent video on Sacred Music
-
Fr. James Moore, OP, not to be confused with the author of a famous setting of Psalm 34, is a wonderful church musician.
Here he gives a clear case for sacred music.
I think this video would be very helpful for anyone who would like to make the case for moving forward with a sacred music program. -
Looks like it will be a series. That one appears to be the second in what will be a series of about five videos.
The intro video is here:

Very well done. Very useful for sharing with choir members and liturgy committees.

There are the three videos out on the series so far. Very good. I've sent them to a few priests that I know.

Let's hope your priests don't get the idea that everything should sound like the introductory underscoring.

They are playing with the opening musical phrase of the Order's chant to their Holy Father Dominic, O Lumen Ecclesiae. The incipit, on O, goes Do Re Mi Do Re Do.
The ending Alleluia, added for Eastertide, is beautiful.
