the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4
You send forth Your Spirit, they are
created; And You renew the face of the
ground. Ps 104:30
By participation in singing that we take
in life and that we share also life.
Music is made first of all to the Lord and only
secondarily to each other.
Music should communicate and express a
sense of awe and wonder in the presence of
God; it should lead our thoughts toward God
rather than toward ourselves.
After escaping from the Egyptians and crossing the
Red Sea, the people of Israel sang a song to the Lord
(Exod. 15).
Singing was part of Israel's formal worship in both
tabernacle and temple (1 Chron. 6:31-32, 16:42).
Prayer is expressed in a more attracted
of ways.

The unity of hearts is more profoundly


achieved by the union of voices.

-Cantate Domino (Kanta Jaunari, Kantu Berria) J. Elberdin 1976

"over the centuries and the
millennia music has always
been used to give form to
what cannot be expressed
with words, because it
arouses emotions otherwise
difficult to communicate. It
is, then, no coincidence that
all civilisations have given
importance and value to
music in its various forms
and expressions.
"Music, great music distends
the spirit,arouses profound
emotions and almost
naturally invites us to raise
our minds and hearts to God
in all situations of human
existence, the joyful and the
sad. Music can become
prayer".
Singing allows a part of our hearts to speak to
God in a way that doesnt happen as we hear the
spoken word.
.awakens not only in the heart of each person
but also in the collective heart of the body of
Christ,

connecting us to each other and to God in the


deepest part of who we are.

- Miserere Mei, Deus Ps 50 (Allegri, 1582 & Legge 2000)


Singing not a mere mental exercise. God
created us to communicate with the very
depths of our spirit, and singing is a way we
can accomplish this in a profound and
meaningful way.

- En La Paz (Prayer for Peace, David Haas)


One cannot find
anything more religious
and more joyful in sacred
celebrations than a
whole congregation
expressing its faith and
devotion and song (MS
16).
When songs and
music are signs of
the Holy Spirits
presence and action,
they encourage, in a
certain way,
communion with the
Triune God.
- Pope St. John Paul II

sacred music: it must
possess holiness and beauty

qualities a third will
