Abstract

The article discusses the significance of music in the development of the human spirit, and of his s e n s ib ility that opens him to values ​​such as goodness, beauty, harmony to arrive at the end of the supreme value of God. Liturgical music in its role and task has been set in the light of the D o cum en tó of the Church such as the Motu Proprio of Pope Pius X Inter sollicitudines, the instruction Ylu s ie a in Sacram and the Conciliar Constitution „Sacrosanctum Concilium” . The reflection reaches all musical types that find space in the liturgy. At that time, first of all the Gregorian choral, which amazes us today for its aesthetic value. And stayed as the most suitable liturgical chant. The popular song that accompanies the liturgical action is also there inserts in the transmission of the Mystery of Salvation. However, there is a danger of falling into the temptation to insert in the liturgy, instead of religious songs rich in theological content, some songs easy to perform but very questionable in their value. Alongside the Gregorian choral there is room for a musical species called polyphony (jl singing of the choir). It is a very important element to enrich the liturgy and above all to allow ai ftd c li to open oneself to the contemplation of the greatness of God. In the liturgy we also find the proper place for instrumental music, especially of the organ. Please underline the part of the article that underlines the kerygmatic function of the chant, especially in solemn liturgies. The salvific message is realized not only through the singing of all the assembly but also in the singing of the choir that replaces the assembly, or even with the presence of the musical group.
