Random Sacred Music Quote

"Great importance is to be attached to the teaching and practice of music in seminaries, in the novitiates and houses of study of religious of both sexes, and also in other Catholic institutions and schools. To impart this instruction, teachers are to be carefully trained and put in charge of the teaching of sacred music." Vatican Council II, Sacrosanctum Concilium ¶115a, Dec 4, 1963
