“Let’s sing with the Pope”: New Initiative from the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music (PIMS) - Videos for Learning Basic Chant

 From the PIMS Instagram account:


“Let’s sing with the Pope” is a new initiative from the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music (PIMS), which is launching a series of short educational video tutorials on social media to help the People of God sing along with the Holy Father during the upcoming major liturgical celebrations.


It aims to make the rich heritage of Gregorian chant accessible to all—a universal musical and spiritual language for celebrations such as papal Masses and to promote active and conscious participation in the liturgy.


FR. Robert Mehlhart OP, Rector of the Institute, presents simple, singable chants that are easy to learn, encouraging active and meaningful participation.


The Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music currently has 153 students from 44 countries; 10 of them will sing in the guide choir at the inaugural Mass of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate.
