***
(Borgo San Lorenzo, Florence 1917). Director emeritus of the Cappella Musicale Pontificia Sistina and member
of the Academy of Santa Cecilia, is undoubtedly one of the main personalities in the musical world today, both
as a composer and as a director. Considered the most authoritative interpreter of Palestrina, he has held courses
in Italy and abroad on Palestrinian polyphonic music.
As choir director, he has toured several countries with the Choir of the Sistine Chapel (Austria, France,
Germany, United States, Canada, Australia, Turkey, Japan, etc.) and with the Choir of the Academy of Santa
Cecilia (the tourne in the former Soviet Union was a resounding success). Under his direction the Choir of the
Fondazione Bartolucci, created in 2003, has held numerous concerts, the most outstanding being the concert
offered to His Holiness Benedict XVI in the Sistine Chapel (June 2006).
He has also directed the principal Italian orchestras in Rome, Venice, Florence, Trieste, Palermo, Bari, etc.
Besides he was Composition professor at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music and the Conservatory of Music
Santa Cecilia in Rome.
His work as a composer is prolific. So far, the Edizioni Cappella Sistina has published more than 40 volumes
which include 7 volumes of motets, 2 volumes of madrigals, laudi, sacred music, works for the organ and
harpsichord (cembalo), masses for choir and organ or choir and orchestra, a Piano Concerto, a Symphony, and a
whole series of oratorios for soloists, choir and orchestra, namely, La Tempesta sul Lago, La Nativit, Baptisma,
La Passione, LAscensione, Gloriosi Principes, Miserere, Te Deum, Stabat Mater, Cantata Biblica, Cantata
Evangelica, Cantata di Natale, Transitus beati Francisci, etc. Worth mentioning is the opera, Brunellesco, still
unpublished.
On the occasion of the Consistory of November 20, 2010 the Holy Father Benedict XVI wanted to nominate him
as a Cardinal for his generosity and dedication with which he has distinguished himself in the service of the
Church.
