The task of restoration – expressed, for example, in the chant revival associated with the monks of Solesmes, the efforts of the Cecilian movement, and Pius X’s determination to reform sacred music in the universal church – is a recurring theme in the book. Meanwhile resistance, particularly to the reforms decreed by the pope’s 1903 \u003ci\u003emotu proprio\u003c\/i\u003e, also finds a voice in the volume. The essays collected here describe selected scenes and episodes from the unending story of imperfect human beings trying to express in their music the perfection of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Thomas Day: Foreword – Eckhard Jaschinski: The Renewal of Catholic Church Music in Germany\/Austria, France and Italy in the Nineteenth Century – Paul Collins: Emissaries to ‘a believing and a singing land’: Belgian and German organists in Ireland, 1859-1916 – Kieran Anthony Daly: The Dublin Eucharistic Congress: \u003ci\u003eTra le sollecitudini\u003c\/i\u003e in the Phoenix Park – Helen Phelan: Ireland, Music, and the Modern Liturgical Movement – Bennett Zon: Victorian Anti-Semitism and the Origin of Gregorian Chant – Thomas E.
