Appropriate music is a vital part of Church meetings,
particularly sacrament meetings. Music that is carefully
selected and properly presented can greatly enhance the spirit
of worship. Music should be worshipful and fit the spirit of the
meeting. Priesthood leaders determine what is suitable. The
hymns are the basic music for worship services and are standard
for all congregational singing. In addition, other appropriate
selections may be used for prelude and postlude music, choir
music, and special musical presentations. If musical selections
other than the hymns are used, they should be in keeping with
the spirit of the hymns of the Church. Texts should be
doctrinally correct. (See "Hymns for Congregations," Hymns,
pages 380–81.) Secular music should not replace sacred music in
Sunday meetings. Some religiously oriented music presented in a
popular style is not appropriate for sacrament meetings. Also,
much sacred music that is suitable for concerts and recitals is
not appropriate for a Latter-day Saint wo
