Below is a fascinating article written three years after the close of the Council. The author is the late Monsignor Richard Schuler, a professor of music at the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Minnesota. It gives a rare glimpse of the state of sacred liturgy in the years following the close of the Council, just after the publication of the Instruction Musicam Sacram, on music in the liturgy.
In the article the author (a learned professor) is protesting the almost total elimination he witnessed of artistic sacred music in the liturgy. This brilliant piece was published in The Wanderer on November 30, 1967. It was also included in the book The Wheat and the Cockleby Rev. P.J. Gearnon, O. Carm, published n 1969 by Britons Publishing Company.
