Domenico Bartolucci

“Music is a privileged language for communicating the Church's faith and for helping those who listen to your works on their journey of faith; through music too, you have exercised your priestly ministry. Your style follows in the wake of the great composers of sacred music, in particular for the Sistine Chapel which you directed for many years, by enhancing the precious treasure of Gregorian Chant and your wise use of polyphony, faithful to tradition but also open to new sounds.”

“Without Latin the repertory of the past is destined to be filed away. It is necessary to return to a liturgy that makes room for music, with a taste for the beautiful, and also to return to true sacred art.”
