 | | Musical Instruments in Church Services: A Treatise from The Catholic Encyclopedia (1911). |
 | | A brief history of the use of musical instruments in liturgical settings, this essay from the 1911 edition of The Catholic Encyclopedia, offers a fascinating interpretation of official policy toward organs and other instruments in the Divine Liturgy. |
 | | The treatise appears to be an apologia for the a document by Pope Pius X in 1903, "Motu proprio," which appears to be a reaction against florid, multi-movement settings of the Mass and canticles by J. Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, and other "secular" composers. |
