Okay everybody, here it is.

Letter dated November 7, 2002

To: General Authorities, Area Authority Seventies; Stake, Mission, and
District Presidents; Bishops and Branch Presidents.

Dear Brethren,

MUSIC FOR CHURCH MEETINGS

Inspirational music is an essential part of worship. When prayerfully
selected, music can invite the Spirit of the Lord, increase devotion to
the gospel, and lead to greater spirituality.

We remind Stake Presidencies and bishoprics that they may consider both
the hymns and other appropriate music when planning meetings. The hymns
of the Church are the basic music for worship services and are standard
for congregational singing. However, in addition to the hymns, other
appropriate selections may be used for prelude and postlude music, choir
music, and special musical selections.

May you be blessed in using inspirational music to enhance worship and
strengthen members of the church.

Sincerely your brethren,

Gordon B. Hinckley
Thomas S. Monson
James E. Faust
