- Assembly: The principle minister of the Eucharist or any liturgical
celebration is the People of God raising its voice in word and song. God is truly
praised when everyone in the church actively uses voice and body in participation in the
prayer of thanksgiving - the Eucharist.
- Accompanist: This minister exercises the primary role of leadership in
the accompaniment of liturgical music at mass, administration of the sacraments, and the
official liturgical prayer of the church.
- Cantor: The cantor may be the song leader at masses at which he/she is
the sole music minister. In masses at which other music ministers are present, the
cantor leads the assembly in the responsorial Psalm and the Gospel Acclamation.
- Choir: The members of this group employ the primary musical instrument,
the voice, in assisting the assembly in sung liturgy. They may also enhance the
assembly's voice by the addition of polyphony or part music. At the appropriate
times the choir ministers by offering special scared music.
- Instrumentalist: Many people have been given the gift or ability to play
one or more instruments. Anyone with such a gift is encouraged to join the
liturgical music ensemble.
