"The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art .... whenever the sacred action is to be celebrated with song, the whole body of the faithful may be able to contribute that active participation which is rightly theirs."
Vatican Council 2, The Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy
