Listen "S2E7: Instruments and Liturgical Music"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIs organ really the best choice of instrument for the Mass? Should guitars be totally banned from the liturgy? What do we do for Mass when we have very limited resources in the way of instruments? If these questions have ever crossed your mind, you'll want to listen to this episode!Today we're discussing one of our favorite books: Music and Meaning in the Mass, by Annamaria Cardinalli. More specifically, we're discussing a specific chapter within the book on the role of instruments at Mass. The author brings up some very interesting points on timbre, the ability of an instrument to sustain, and why congregations might be more inclined to sing in some circumstances but not others. We're diving into these points and discussing them further, drawing on our own personal experiences with liturgical music.
