Administrative Bodies and Departments in the Catholic Church

What is the organisational structure of musical life in the Catholic Church?

In addition to its liturgical function in church services, Catholic church music has been an important artistic and organisational part of life in monasteries, cathedral churches and in individual parish churches and their communities for centuries. The diocesan administration includes church music offices that support the organisation of church choirs, pass on liturgical and church music instructions, provide further training for church musicians and set up diocesan church music schools. In addition, the offices work together with church employers and departments to develop regulations for the employment and remuneration of church musicians.
The German Music Information Centre (miz) lists the offices and departments for church music with their management structures.
