The Church Music Association of America is an association of Catholic musicians, clergy, and others who have a special interest in sacred music and liturgy.  The Church Music Association is active in advancing Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, new sacred composition, and practical resources for liturgical use in every parish. 

Our vision is for every parish to encounter the splendor of truth through the essential beauty of the liturgy and God himself.

“The liturgy is inherently linked to beauty:  it is veritatis splendor. . . Beauty, then, is not mere decoration, but rather an essential element of the liturgical action, since it is an attribute of God himself and his revelation.”

Pope Benedict XVI, Sacramentum Caritatis
