Pope Benedict on music
From a Speech October 22, 2005 “Singing itself is almost like flying, rising up to God; it is in some way an anticipation of eternity when we will be able to “unceasingly sing God’s praise”.”
From a speech April 29, 2010: “Joyful singing and music is likewise a constant invitation to believers and to all people of good will to work hard to give humanity a future rich in hope.”
