Saturday, July 11, Spiritual Upliftment in the Basilica

On Saturday, July 11, at 4:00 p.m., a Spiritual Upliftment performed by the Cappella Musicale Giulia will take place in St. Peter’s Basilica at the Altar of the Chair.

The programme will offer an itinerary of sacred music through several significant works from the choral tradition, featuring pieces by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Tomás Luis de Victoria, Anton Bruckner and Domenico Bartolucci.

The Elevation will open with Palestrina’s Sicut cervus, followed by the Kyrie eleison from the Missa Brevis by the same composer. The musical programme will continue with Victoria’s Ave Maria, Bruckner’s Locus iste and Bartolucci’s Jubilate Deo.

The event will offer the faithful and visitors a moment of listening, reflection and meditation in the heart of the Vatican Basilica, through the voice of the Cappella Musicale Giulia and the heritage of liturgical music.
