Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of Kerala is opening a YouTube chanel to bring devotional music nearer to liturgical music; through its latest YouTube channel, ‘Sacred Music.’ It’s a new venture of the Sacred Music department of the archdiocese which recently published its first song and got viral.
Hundreds of devotional songs are released every year in Malayalam language. However, only a few among them can be used for Holy Mass and other sacraments. In this context the Archdiocese has come up with the great venture to coordinate its efforts to differentiate liturgical music from devotional music on a popular platform like YouTube. The activities and uploads are being coordinated by the Sacred Music department of the archdiocese.

In July, 2020 the channel released its first song, a choral singing as its main attraction. Church singing groups are usually called choirs, as are small, professionally trained groups. All efforts will be taken to keep the choral singing simple with no compromise on its standardsm, said Fr Ebey Edassery, the present director of the Sacred Music channel. After all, such music complements the liturgical celebration as per all the Catholic Church documents regarding liturgical music, including Sacrosanctum Concilium.
