ST. CECILIA OF ROME IS THE PATRONESS OF MUSICIANS. IT IS WRITTEN THAT AS THE MUSICIANS PLAYED AT HER WEDDING, SHE SANG IN HER HEART TO THE LORD. HER FEAST DAY IS NOVEMBER 22. SHE IS A SYMBOL OF THE CHURCH'S CONVICTION THAT GOOD MUSIC IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LITURGY, OF GREATER VALUE TO THE CHURCH THAN ANY OTHER ART.
