The article searches for the criteria of admissibility of musical works to the liturgy available in the teaching of the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council. It attempts at answering the question of what determines the fact that certain forms of Gregorian chant, sacred folk singing, choral and solo vocal music as well as instrumental music can be admitted to the liturgy while other forms cannot. In view of quite a large number of chants of doubtful sacred or even secular value appearing in the liturgy, defining these criteria and recalling them seems to be a necessity so that the liturgy does not lose its sacred character.
