and that medieval church music, with the liturgy, creates the correct ambience for perceiving God's mystery.

1Ch 15:16 David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers to sing joyful songs, accompanied by musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.

Psalm 100:1 & 2 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness: come before him with joyful songs.

Different times, different religion. David wasn't "proclaiming the death of the Lord until He comes again". (I Corinthians 11:26) The Mass is a solemn sacrifice, and so the Psalms are chanted sweetly and piously.

Guitars and drums are not only inappropriate to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, they are an insult to it.

Gregorian Chant is VERY similar to the singing Jesus did while He was walking the Earth.

What would Jesus sing?

Scott Hahn...Letter and Spirit

The Bible is an ecclesial and liturgical document. As we see it, this is a statement of historical fact, not an article of faith. The Bible exists because the apostolic Church composed, collected, and preserved this Word, even to the shedding of blood by its martyrs. The Church constinues to proffer this Word as essential for making disciples of the God revelaed in iots pages and for worshipping that God, revealed finally and fully by Jesus Christ (John 20:31; 1 Thess 2:13)

The Word of God was proclaimed before it was written, heard before it was read. The site of this proclmation and hearing, since the first Easter night, has been the divine liturgy of the Church (Luke 24:13-49). The earliest Scripturews were composed to be read and interpreted in the Eucharistic assembly. And Scripture from the start has always been proclaimed and interpreted in order to anticipate a liturgical act - baptism of the Euccharist, for instance - b y which the hearer of the Word is granted entry into the salvation promised in the Scripture. There would be no Bible without the liturgy and there could be no liturgy without the Bible
