"Tra Le Sollecitudini," speaking only of male singers (in the EF) says that they may wear cassock and surplice:

"It will also be fitting that singers while singing in c…

You know how for a while, in pop culture people were talking all about how beneficial certain forms of eastern meditation were? Then, people eventually changed their tune and said, "Oh, well act…

"O Crux Ave" (SATB) by Victoria is a beautiful Lenten piece. Rather hard to find resources for this, online, but I managed to find a recording. So far I
