The liturgy now reflects our generation's inclination toward commotion and distaste to stillness. This explains why instruments frequently dominate songs instead of the other way around. This issue is made worse by the advent of "post-modern" songs that lack musicality and purpose, as well as lyrics that are uncritical and "untheological." These songs, although nevertheless enjoyable, would miserably fail the test when put under doctrinal and rational scrutiny. In response to this departure from genuine spirituality, Cyril O'Ryan, a music enthusiast, ardent Churchgoer, man of clear vision, and devout Catholic, has accepted the challenging task of compiling old, significant, and inspirational songs that had fostered people's faith in the past and still possess the ability to connect the soul with God. For all Christians, but especially for those who are interested in the holy music heard at the Church's solemn rites, this book will be of great value.
