- In the article the author attempts to make a holistic investigation on the role of church choirs. The starting point is a statement that basically church choirs are considered to be religious groups, determined by specific tasks in the liturgy. The author highlights that it is essential for both a conductor and a choir to be aware of the fact that they have a liturgical role, which significantly influences the choice of the repertoire, a way of performing as well as a location of the choir and even choristers’ behavior and outfit. There are two areas in which a church choir can be qualified: liturgical qualification and aesthetical qualification. The first one considers an answer to the question: “what to sing” and the second one “how to sing” (aesthetic qualities). Both kinds of qualification are equally obligatory for each of the church choirs. Answering the question posed in the title of the article: “Is it only singing?” the author tries to justify that singing itself does not cover all the church choir’s tasks. It is significant to link singing with education, up-bringing and forming. A church choir is a school (schola cantorum), where choristers gain necessary musical knowledge and technical skills enabling performing songs properly, they learn a suitable behavior, which is described as “way of being” in the society they live in, they also obtain necessary religious and liturgical formation in order to make their liturgical tasks a source of “spiritual well-being”. While finishing the dissertation on the church choirs’ tasks, the author associates his thesis with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger’s reflection, which can be fully referred to church choir’s tasks. He considers that each musical service can be treated as a liturgical service and if so, each church choir’s service is a form of “pastorial ministry” which is why it is considered as “a kind of the apostolate and serves as a way to build community”.
