The Recovering Choir Director

Paul Hume, the late professor and music critic famous for drawing the ire of President Truman after panning his daughter’s recital, wrote a book in 1956 titled Catholic Church Music, complete with nihil obstat and imprimatur. I received it yesterday from a newfound friend, and am looking forward to seeing how the book confirms the adage, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

If anyone has read this book and would like to comment on it, please share below.
