EPISCOPALIANS FAVOR TRAINING IN CHURCH MUSIC Today (Wednesday) at Portland, Ore- gon, an earnest plea for the maintenance of standards of music commensurate with those of the liturgy and the high office of music in the Episcopal church is to be made in the report of the joint commis: sion on church music, which will be pre- sented to the general convention of the church. The report has been prepared by Dr. ‘Wallace Goodrich of the -New England Conservatory of Music, secretary of the commission, which includes among others, several bishops, Dr. Miles Farrow of New York and Dr. Peter C. Lutkin of Chi- cago. It is an exhaustive history of mu- glc, covering a period of more than fif- teen hundrid yards. The report recommends that standards in church music be défined through edu- cation, and that facilities for musical ed- ucation be provided for the clergy through the ‘systematic instruction of all candidates for holy orders in the theolog- ical schools, and that organists receive authoritative spécial Instructlon in con- servatory and college musical depart- ments and through dlocesan conferences. A specific recommendation is that con- gregational singing be developed and a hint that.elaborate and highly paid church choirs are not altogether essential is seen in a further recommendation that the sole test of the fitness of any cholr or musical service shall be in its ca- pacity to inspire and edify the people and to justify its work as an acceptable component part of divine worship. The restoration of the chanting of the Psalter by cholr and people is recom- ménded whenever practical, after ~due preparation and emphasis is laid upon the desirability that the music of the service of holy communion shall be the most important of all the musical services of the church, although nqt necessarily the most elaborate, The report discusses the character of organ music at all = services, including weddings and funerals and the importance of training the young to good taste in church music through proper attention to music in Sunday and church schools is emphasized. It is assertéd that standards are.not.well defined and that training In church music has suffered great neglect.
