Musical Formation of the Faithful in the Church in Poland According to Synod Documents after the Second Vatican Council

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article has analyzed the synod documents of the Church in Poland, seeking answers to questions about the musical formation of the faithful. Synodal solutions, encouraging permanent musical education of members of parish communities, indicate the people responsible for its implementation and determine the musical material that the faithful should learn. The author analyzes the above-mentioned issues, understanding music in the liturgy, first and foremost, as the Church’s prayer related to integrity with liturgical texts and activities. Undertaking the task of teaching faithful liturgical songs, acclamations, hymns, etc., would enliven in the author’s intention the spirit of the liturgy in individual pastoral centers. All the conclusions gathered in the article could be a model for the musical formation of the faithful in particular dioceses in Poland.
