Liturgy and Music: October 2006 Archives

NPM (pronounced "napalm"), an organization that's done more than its share to degrade Catholic liturgy over the past 30 years, is running an online survey about what qualities in church music motivate Catholics to sing.

However, it's obviously not a professionally-designed or run survey, and the response options are skewed. The only text-related quality they list as an option is "meaningful text". For your average bad church musician, that means "text is emotionally relevant to Me," not "text expresses Catholic theological content" or "text uses reverent, dignified English" -- or even (shock) Latin.

Anyway, feel free to engage in some actual participation.

What? Who?

On life and living in communion with the Catholic Church.
