Let the chant be full of gravity; . . . and whilst it pleases the ear, let it move the heart. -- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
If we consider and ask ourselves what sort of music we should wish to hear on entering a church, we should surely, in describing our ideal, say, first of all that it must be something different from what is heard elsewhere; that it should be a sacred music, devoted to its purpose; a music whose peace should still passion, whose dignity should strengthen our faith, whose beauty should find a home in our hearts to cheer us in life and death; a music worthy of the fair temples in which we meet, and of the holy words of our Liturgy; a music whose expression of the mystery of things unseen never allowed any trifling motive to ruffle the sanctity of its reserve.
-- Robert Bridges
PRAYER FOR MUSICIANS
O God whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with thy servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by thy people on Earth; And grant to them even now glimpses of thy beauty, through Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen
-- Book of Common Prayer
