Music Ministry
The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this preeminence is that, as sacred song bound to the text, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy.
Holy Scripture itself has bestowed praise upon sacred song, and the same may be said of the Fathers of the Church and of the Roman pontiffs, who in recent times, led by St. Pius X, have explaned more precisely the ministerial function supplied by sacred music in the service of the Lord.
Therefore sacred music will be the more holy the more closely it is joined to the liturgical rite, whether by adding delight to prayer, fostering oneness of spirit, or investing the rites with greater solemnity. But the Church approves of all forms of genuine art possessing the qualities required and admits them into divine worship.
