Catholic World News : New Kenyan hymnal aims for appropriate liturgical music

[I can't comment on the product, but the story sounds interesting.]

Nairobi, Apr. 25 (CWNews.com) - Catholic Church officials in Kenya has launched a revised hymnal, in an effort to standardize music used in the Mass.
The book, known as Tumshangilie ('Let's Praise Him' in the Kiswahili language) is the product of 10 years of work. The revision of the first edition of the hymnal was done under the direction of Father Peter Meinberg, OSB.

Kenyan bishops have expressed some concern about the varieties of music and liturgical dance that have been used in the liturgy. Bishop Peter Kihara, who chairs the liturgy commission for the Kenyan bishops' conference, said that the revised hymnal should ensure that the appropriate music is used in Eucharistic liturgies.

'The music should be aligned with the doctrine and the liturgy of the Catholic Church,' the bishop told the Daily Nation. 'There have been cases where choir masters and composers have come up with all sorts of music which tended to be a disgrace to the Catholic faith.' "
