IX. CHOIR, ORGAN, AND OTHER MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

274. In relation to the design of each church, the «schola cantorum» should be so placed that its character as a part of the assembly of the faithful that has a special function stands out clearly. The location should also assist the choir's liturgical ministry and readily allow each member complete, that is, sacramental participation in the Mass.⁸⁶

275. The organ and other lawfully approved musical instruments are to be placed suitably in such a way that they can sustain the singing of the choir and congregation and be heard with ease when they are played alone.
