Ep 6 - The Place of the Choir in the Building of the Church
Eric and Fr. Kyle converse about where the choir should be in the building of the Church.
“The schola cantorum (choir) should be so positioned with respect to the arrangement of each church that its nature may be clearly evident, namely as part of the assembled community of the faithful undertaking a specific function. The positioning should also help the choir to exercise this function more easily and allow each choir member full sacramental participation in the Mass in a convenient manner.” - General Instruction of the Roman Missal, 312.
