From the journal:
In this issue of Sacred Music we publish the second part of a two-part study of the state of liturgical music in the Diocese of Knoxville, TN. Written by Dr. Barbara Murphy and Fr. John Arthur Orr, this is an attempt to correlate the actual practice of sacred music in one diocese to the “theory” of sacred music as presented by the Church’s magisterial teaching. Although there has been plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest a wide dis- crepancy between the two, this is the first article we have published which employs sur- veys and a more scientific approach. As the article was too long to publish in one issue, we have divided it into two parts. Part I may be found in the previous issue of Sacred Music, vol. 131, no. 4.
