    I'm always on the lookout for concise articles and videos to share with my choir to help them learn about the Church's liturgy and standards for liturgical music. Here's a good one I found from October in Homiletic and Pastoral Review:

    On the whole, then, sacred music is an art set apart for worship which makes holy. It is sacred before it is music, meaning the focus is on God, not us. For the liturgy is about God coming to us and taking us to Himself, not us “making God happen” by our coming together. Keeping this in mind helps us to keep liturgy rooted in God and in mystery, rather than in us and in trying to solve the mystery.


    Not a ringing endorsement of "SING, dammit", is it?
