Sacred and secular music: the difference explained
Sometimes people ask for a simple explanation of the difference between sacred music which is suitable for the liturgy, and secular music which is not. This video is an excellent attempt to promote music worthy of the Sacred Liturgy.
I found this over at Corpus Christi Watershed located at Corpus Christi, Texas, where you can also find some three part polyphonic motets, newly composed by Kevin Allen.

But does this mean (sob) the end of (sob) "Lord of the Dance", "Kumbayah", and "Let Us Break Bread Together on Our Knees"?
Hope so.
You mean to say that you don't think those lovely songs have a "sense of prayer, dignity and beauty" LOL
I remember a Lancashire friend saying that in his church, after the older members of the congregation replaced "Kumbayah" with "Ee bah Gum", it was never sung again.
Hah!
