Abstract In a manner that refelcts his broad historical and musical knowledge of the Church's liturgy, the author takes us step-by-step through the Eucharistic celebration of the Mass, paying attention not only to the liturgy's repertoire of music and song but also to its participants as well: the roles of the priest, the choir, the music director, the organist, the cantor--even the singing congregation. He discusses every musical aspect--from acclamations and responsorial psalms to the cantillation of the readings--outlines present-day practices, and offers suggestions for improvement and sound, creative ideas about what the future may hold for Christian liturgy in the twenty-first century.
