Pope voices solidarity with musicians hit by COVID
Hope we can start enjoying music again soon says Francis
04 Febbraio 2021
VATICAN CITY, FEB 4 - Pope Francis on Thursday
voiced solidarity with musicians hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. My thoughts go out to all those who have been affected: to the
musicians, who have seen their lives and professions disrupted
by the demands of distancing; to those who have lost their jobs
and social contact; to those who have had to cope, in difficult
contexts, with the necessary training, education and community
life, Francis said in a video message to the 4th International
VATICAN: Pope Francis opened his video message by extending his greeting to all who are participating in the 4th International Conference on Music, organised by the Pontifical Council for Culture, in collaboration with the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music and the Pontifical Liturgical Institute of the Ateneo Sant Anselmo .
The Pope went on to express his hope that their reflections, on the theme Texts and Contexts , may enrich ecclesial communities and those who work in the field of music, an area that is very important for liturgy and evangelisation.
The Bible in music
As is well known, noted the Pope, the Bible has inspired countless musical expressions, including fundamental pages in the history of music.
