Drewniak, Janusz2025-01-282025-01-282007Liturgia Sacra, 2007, R. 13, nr 1 (29), s. 127-140.1234-4214https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/26863The liturgy and especially the Eucharist require awareness and full engagement during the prayer and singing. The article presents the role of music and singing in the liturgy and also underlines their aesthetic values. The liturgy singing is a natural manifestation of faith and religiousness. The significant issue is to define the sacred criterion of the church music. Thanks to sacredness the church music is distinguished by dignity and aesthetic beauty. The next formal criterion specifies music genres based on liturgical and biblical texts, which are closely related to the catholic liturgy. The utility criterion expresses the close relation between music and liturgical act. The last point of this article presents the right place for religious song in the Eucharist.plCC-BY-NC-SA - Uznanie autorstwa - Użycie niekomercyjne - Na tych samych warunkachteologiatheologyliturgikaliturgicsliturgialiturgyśpiew liturgicznyśpiewsingingliturgical singingświętość muzyki kościelnejmuzyka kościelnasanctity of church musicchurch musicmuzyka sakralnamuzyka liturgicznapieśni religijnesacred musicliturgical musicreligious songsArticle
