Musica Chiesa, from the Italian words “musica” (for music) and “chiesa” (for church) is another auxiliary group formed to assist the Jesuit Music Ministry Office in its programs for trainings and seminars for local parish choirs and musicians. It is composed of instrumentalists (strings, percussion, keyboards) also coming from the Jesuits’ apostolate areas. Musica Chiesa is becoming well known for its own instrumental arrangements of popular liturgical music.
