Music's Place within the Eucharistic Celebration - Sacred Music

This workshop and reading session explores the nature of ritual music-what is it, how can it be evaluated, how can ministers choose and present it most effectively within community prayer? Musical examples will be used to demonstrate a variety of creative methods. (The reading session portion of the workshop can be tailored to offer resources for one or more specific seasons of the liturgical year.)
