The Cappella Giulia is a choir of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City . He organizes all liturgical celebrations of the Vatican Chapter with music, except for those with the participation of the Pope , for which the Papal Choir of the Sistine Chapel performs the choral service. The Capella Giulia consists of two singing ensembles: the mixed choir (male and female voices) conducts the Holy Masses of the Chapter and the second Vespers on the solemn festivals ; the male choir organizes the vespers on Sundays in the annual cycle as well as on certain feast days.
The name "Giulia" goes back to Pope Julius II , who completely reorganized the choir in 1513.
history
After the end of the Avignon papacy (1377), the papal chapel that had emerged from the Schola cantorum was initially reserved exclusively for the Pope's service , so that St. Peter's Basilica did not have its own singing group at times. A first attempt to establish a choir, which Pope Sixtus IV made in 1480, was unsuccessful. Only Julius II succeeded on February 19, 1513 with the constitution In Altissimo to formally establish the chapel of St. Peter's Basilica. However, since he died the following night, it took another thirty years until Pope Paul III. 1534 filled the constitution with life.
In the centuries that followed, the choir devoted itself particularly to sacred vocal polyphony. The choir masters included important and famous musicians such as Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina , Orazio Benevoli and Domenico Scarlatti , as well as some important organists such as Ercole Pasquini and Girolamo Frescobaldi .
The choir was dissolved in 1979 and temporarily replaced in 1980 by the male choir Cappella Musicale della Basilica di San Pietro . In 2008 the Cappella Giulia was brought back to life by the Vatican chapter under the old name. In contrast to the older tradition, the upper voices ( soprano and alto ) are currently no longer occupied with boy's, but with women's voices.
