Random Quote

“The director should not allow any one to pre-intone who is not able to do it, lest ridiculous mistakes should occur; he should suppress all singing out of tune, all shouting, and all arbitrary harmonising by the singers, and should see that in responding to the celebrant, the choir invariably take up the tone corresponding to his.”

— Manual of Roman Chant (1860) by a Priest of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer
