How does one translate this phrase to Latin?

Music to God's glory

Hi, PhlipNorr!

According to what I found on the following site Free Online English to Latin Translators (http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=English&to=Latin) the translation would be: Music ut God's palma

Online translators, especially in latin, are terrible. I can give the vocab but my grammar is rusty, you'd have to work out the correct forms from grammar tables:

Music: musica, musicae
To: ut
God: Deus, Dei (For the Christian God, I presume?)
Glory: you have 2 choices here, gloria, gloriae, which is more to do with fame or renown, or decus, decoris, which is more to do with grace, dignity and honor (ie military decoration).

God will need to be in the Genitive for written latin, though it would be in the ablative with the preposition de if you're more interested in spoken latin, as the genitive was phased out.

So something like Musica ut gloria Deus would be a little closer, but I'm not sure of the form that glory and music need to be.

This (http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~econrad/lang/latin.html) looks like a good grammar resource.
