However, I think that there is a danger of forgetting that the music serves the liturgy, and not the other way round. There is indeed decent music in the RC church - the mus...

"Typical" church band line up

The organist (myself) and instrumentalists play from the same chord chart and arrange and improvise around this. I have also played keyboards at a Mass for the Ni...
