Scope and Content
The Catholic choirmasters correspondence course consists of college-accredited lessons in sacred music and liturgy edited by Clifford A.

Some lessons are missing. The course covers liturgy, liturgical aesthetics, Latin pronunciation, children's and boys' choirs, male choir training, polyphony, Gregorian chant, rhythm and chironomy, modality (Gregorian modes), Psalmody, and the Divine Office, and includes vocal supplements, exercises, review questions, and other educational apparatus.
