Part I of this article -- 1 Early History (c.600-1898) -- was written in 1912. It is NOT undercopyright; it is fully under Public Domain! Please do not erase this article; there is not a shred of copyright infringement!

The other sections were written by myself this morning, and I attest that they are original and in the Public Domain.


 * This article has been listed as copyvio by Coolcat. The first section of the article is protected under copyright, as claimed on this page. The other three sections are not copyright violations, as the editor above attests and an internet search appears to verify. In my opinion, the best course of action would be simply to remove/rewrite the first section of the article, and leave the rest be. Remember to cite sources, however. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) 11:23, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Present quality of the Sistine choir
I don't think that one can blame the present state of the Sistine choir on Vatican II. That is a too convenient and a too overly used scapegoat. After all, the Anglican cathedral choirs are excellent and go on world tours, but who would pay money to hear the present Sistine choir sing in concert? As a friend of mine who builds organs pointed out to me recently, St. Peter's does even have a proper organ, certainly nothing appropriate for a church that size. If the St. Paul's Cathedral can have a world renown choir, why can't the Basilica of St. Peter?

Mozart and Allegri
Doesn’t the story of Allegri’s Miserere and Mozart’s “theft” of it after hearing it performed during Holy Week in the Sistine Chapel merit a mention? Lots of sources, but here’s and easy to digest video. And Miserere (Allegri), of course. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 01:03, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks for reminding me, Bmclaughlin9. Your suggestion was timely as I'm currently in the process of expanding the 18th and 19th century section. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 08:18, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
