The year 2011 recorded a hundred years of activities of the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music, an institution founded officially as the School of Sacred Music, January 5, 1911 at the express wish of St. Pius X (who soon, July 10, 1914, raised it to papal dignity) and the action determined and convinced of the Jesuit Father Angelo De Santi who was the first headmaster. In celebration of the centenary, the Institute's Academic Council, chaired by Bishop Valentine Miserachs Grau, decided to create a series of cultural events for celebration, with the intention being to show to the outside world his story and to direct around the event a significant representation of international musicology. The scientific process of the project was entrusted to Francesco Luisi, a professor of Semiografia polyphonic and Methodology at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music. With this in mind, because the first attempt produced a commemorative volume was inspired by historical and teaching and to meet the second was organized an International Congress of Sacred Music.
The commemorative publication, produced with the participation of representatives of all departments disciplinary Institute (Gregorian chant, composition, choral conducting, musicology), and the heads of the Library and Archives, traces the key stages of an internal history of teaching of sacred music, training and transmission of knowledge who scored a century in business. Those stages have seen the shift from the idea of ??restoration, already supported by the movement Cecilian nineteenth and twentieth centuries, kept aware of the compositional style of polyphonic sacred music in the light of the most authentic tradition. The history of the Pontifical Institute includes famous people, outlining significant albeit critical moments in the becoming of sacred music, the mission emphasizes education and training supported by master composers, choir directors, organists and specialists in Gregorian chant.
But even more decisive action pauses and aware of all the presidents who have guided the Institute with a deep sense of responsibility to serve liturgical music and in close contact with the papal authority. The volume, edited by Francesco Luisi and Antonio Addamiano, is accompanied by a CD made by Nicola Tangari, contains extensive documentation of the life of the Institute and a DVD produced by Federico Del Sordo, in which they are presented with historical detail and live musical performances of all musical instruments with which the Institute. The Congress, which will take place from May 26 to June first, requires the presence of more than 100 scholars, mostly representatives of Italian and foreign universities, addressing a broad spectrum of research and reflection on liturgical music, paraliturgical, sacred and spiritual, from the original formation of the Gregorian chant to the most advanced expressions of art of sacred music of our times. The Congress also provides the performance of three panel discussions at the conclusion of the various study sessions: one devoted to "Music in the Missions" coordinated by Franco Alberto Gallo, the second devoted to "Teaching of sacred music" led by Giuseppina La Face Bianconi; the third is open to discussion on "Music and Liturgy today," led by Raffaele Pozzi.
