Hello all,
The Vatican II document Sacrosanctum Concilium says the following:
115. Great importance is to be attached to the teaching and practice of music in seminaries, in the novitiates and houses of study of religious of both sexes and also in other Catholic institutions and schools. To impart this instruction, teachers are to be carefully trained and put in charge of the teaching of sacred music.
It is desirable also to found higher institutes of sacred music whenever this can be done.
Composers and singers, especially boys, must also be given a genuine liturgical training.
Emphasis in above quote from Sacrosanctum Concilium is mine…
Question: Does anyone know of any Catholic “higher institutes of sacred music” in the United States or North America as a whole, that have been established in response to this document, or even one that existed before this document? If so, can you give me a name or names, and where it/they is/are?
I ask, because one of the dreams I’ve been kicking around in my head recently is someday founding one of these higher institutes of sacred music. Of course, if a couple good ones already exist, I may find myself enrolling one of these days!
Blessings in Christ,
Tim
