The actual title of the essay was:

““Liturgical Worship is given a more noble form when it is celebrated in song with the ministers of each degree fulfilling their ministry and the people participating in it” Musicam Sacrum.
Discuss with reference to the post-conciliar documents.


Music is one of my week spots. I really love the classics like Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, but if you ask me to sing or to tell you if one note is high than another then I haven’t got a clue. I really didn’t get on well with our music weekend on the liturgy course and had a great deal of trouble writing these essays. I spent hours in Wesley library speed reading books and hoping that some of what I read would help me with the 2 music essays I had to write. I did in fact learn a lot and even though the marks for both essays are low I am very proud of them.

My mark for this essay was 46%.
