On Saturday 31 October 2026, at 4:00 p.m., a Concert of Sacred Music will take place at the Altar of the Chair in St Peter’s Basilica on the eve of the Solemnity of All Saints: a moment of listening and recollection accompanied by sacred music.

The programme will open with the Gregorian introit Gaudeamus omnes in Domino. This will be followed by Byrd’s Justorum animae, Viadana’s Exsultate justi in Domino, the Gregorian chant Jubilate Deo, Scarlatti’s Exsultate Deo and Dubois’s Cantate Domino. Perosi’s Magnificat will bring the concert to a close.

A musical journey through Gregorian chant and polyphony, inviting prayer and contemplation and preparing the faithful to celebrate the joy and hope of the Solemnity of All Saints.
