Human
beings
sang
long
before
they
were
able
to
express
their
thoughts,
voicing
in
simple
imitation
sounds
they
heard
in
nature,
the
twitter
of
birds,
the
rustle
of
leaves,
the
howling
of
coyotes.
Primitive
man
sang
to
invoke
the
gods
with
prayers
and
incantations,
to
celebrate
rites
of
passage,
to
recount
history
and
heroics.
There
is
no
human
settlement,
no
matter
how
distant
or
isolated,
that
does
not
sing.
Congregations
of
Jews
in
500
BC
sang
King
David's
Psalms
and
The
Song
of
Solomon.
After
the
4th
Century
when
Christianity
was
recognized
as
the
official
religion
of
the
Roman
Empire,
the
Catholic
Church
developed
Western
music
for
the
next
thirteen
centuries,
evolving
from
plainchant
to
highly
developed
polyphonic
choral
style.
The
aim
of
the
Cathedral
of
Our
Lady
of
the
Angels'
music
ministry,
under
Music
Director
Frank
Brownstead,
is
to
develop
a
sacred
music
program
that
encompasses
the
beautiful
traditions
of
the
Church
and
the
multiple
cultural
traditions
of
the
Archdiocese.
In
the
Catholic
context
music
is
sung
prayer,
and
music
and
liturgy
are
handmaidens.
