The Council of Trent did not issue detailed guidelines about Church music, although they did call for it to be uplifting, to be intelligible, and to avoid secular expression. They did restate that Plain Chant was the music of the Church, which went along with the Renaissance promotion of a cappella music.

Church music was dealt with under the "Abuses in the Sacrifice of the Mass" in session of the Committee 10 September 1562, in Canon 8. The Committee's recommendation was that music must serve to uplift the faithful, that its words must be intelligible, and that secular expression must be avoided were given binding force in the degrees of the 22nd Session, on 17 September 1562.
