What we do:
All of them are committed to mutual education, highest standards of personal conduct, and achieving the best use of good music in worship, whatever the resources, whatever the styles (ancient, classical or modern).
Motto:
The RSCM Motto (top left under our RSCM logo) “Psallam spiritu et mente” (from King James’s version of the Holy Bible – 1 Corinthians 14:15) can be translated to read: “I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”
Prayer:
“Bless, O Lord, us, Thy servants, who minister in Thy Temple.
Grant that what we sing with our lips, we may believe in our hearts;
and what we believe in our hearts, we may show forth in our lives:
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
