SOME OF THE BEST LITURGY/MUSIC ARTICLES
You'll Find on the Web

With just one click, you can access many great articles for the reform of the Catholic Liturgy.
Here are some cool links you can check out:
http://www.cantemusdomino.net/browsing_library/ - from Aristotle Esguerra's blog, "The Confessions of a Recovering Choir Director". These are articles from a wide array of authors.
http://www.canticanova.com/art_main.htm - Musical Musings from CanticaNOVA Publications, from many authors, including (certainly not limited to) CanticaNOVA's own Gary Penkala.
http://www.adoremus.org - It would be well worth your while to check out the Adoremus website. Adoremus is really on top of what's been going on - articles on music, Mass translation, letters and encyclicals from our Holy Father (and many of his Predecessors), and other official documents, including a link to the GIRM (General Instruction of the Roman Missal) - or in Latin, IGMR (Instructionis Generalis Missalis Romanis). There is also the Adoremus Bulletin, which is published monthly. You can read it online for free, but it's well worth the $25 for a membership. The site will tell you the many membership benefits.

This is just the start of a recent awareness that "Restoration of the Sacred" needs to happen, and is in the works. Not to mention the same awareness coming from many of the newly-ordained priests I've run into recently, as well as some young seminarians.

Enjoy the fruits of these labors by all means.
+In Christ,
