Guide for Music Ministers, Second Edition
Rev. Paul Turner and Jennifer Kerr Breedlove
Music ministers lead the song of the assembly during the
liturgy; an important role that needs ongoing formation, theological
reflection, and training. This resource will be invaluable for members
of choirs and scholas, instrumentalists, cantors, accompanists, and
music directors. Now in its second edition, Guide for Music Ministers, includes commentary and reflection upon the newest music document from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship.

- A basic theological and historical overview of ritual music

- Practical advice concerning particular liturgical music roles
- Ways to deepen your prayer life
- Quotations from the documents of the Church
