Concerts given in Churches in
our time are desirable manifestations of the sacredness of art, the evangelical
mission of the Church, and an exemplary form of outreach to the community. Properly
prepared and performed, such concerts give witness to the Gospel by addressing
poverty of spirit through the unique power of music to inspire, elevate, teach
and heal.
Where modern society, with its technological emphasis, so frequently fails
to uphold aesthetic values, the Church, following its practice since at
least medieval times, has the opportunity to reintroduce these values through
the ministry of art. Just as the great medieval Cathedrals were both
spiritual and cultural centers, the Church in our time opens its doors
to invite and embrace the community it seeks to serve.
In addition to the great corpus of musical literature passed on to us for
liturgical use, there has also been created a unique repertoire which requires
the ambience of the sacred space and which is rarely effective in the concert
hall: cantatas, oratorios, passion settings, concerti “da chiesa,” liturgical
music-dramas, mystery plays and the great organ literature.
