Musica sacra is a magazine about

ecumenical perspectives in church music. Musica sacra reports events of the association, and news from other organisations, such as the Bundesverband katholischer Kirchenmusiker Deutschlands and the Pueri Cantores [de]. Musica sacra appears six times per year, printed by Bärenreiter in Kassel in 3,500 copies.[3]

History

The magazine appeared first in 1868 as Musica sacra – Monatsschrift für Kirchenmusik und Liturgie by Franz Xaver Witt, a monthly paper. On the occasion of the centenary in 1968, the paper changed to bimonthly. More recently, an online-version was published, and topics have included reports from the practice of church music, news and information, reviews of recordings, sheet music and books, a calendar of events, composer's portraits, presentation of new organs, and open positions.[3]
