A Note about Sacred Music

A Statement from the American Choral Directors Association about sacred music in public schools:

Since choral music with a sacred text comprises such a substantial portion of the artistic repertoire representative of the choral medium and the history of music, it should have an important place in music education. Its study and artistic performance have nothing to do with the First Amendment to the Constitution and the doctrine which advocates separation of Church and State.

This statement was first published in the Choral Journal in November, 1983 and has been endorsed by the National Board of the American Choral Directors Association.
