The Holy See published on May 31. a letter from the Pope, written on occasion of the centenary of the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music founded by Saint Pius X. Directed to Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education and Great Chancelier of the Institute, it was read by that same Cardinal on May 26. for the opening session of the International Congress of Sacred Music, held in Rome from May 26. to June 1.
In this letter, Benedict XVI indicates that Saint Pius X initiative, following the Motu Proprio Tra Le Sollecitudini of November 22. 1903, had fixed the program for a profound reform of liturgical music in the tradition of the Church and outside any influence of profane styles.
