Vatican Guidelines for Church Music: Eastern Christian Prospects and Problems

2017 Saints Cyril and Methodius Lecture given by Very Rev. Peter Galadza, PhD
The sacred music of the Eastern Churches is among the great gifts bequeathed to them by Tradition. In several documents, among them the Vatican II Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, Church authorities have attempted to sensitize the universal Church to the importance of singing in worship. Fr. Peter Galadza reviews some of these documents and discusses where Byzantine Catholics are and where they can be when it comes to using this gift.
