Music of Vatican City
As the seat of the Papacy, the Vatican City and its predecessor, the Papal States, has played an important role in the development of Christian music.

Singers were originally from northern Europe, but began arriving more from Spain and Italy in the 16th century. At this time, church authorities became concerned about the words of liturgical texts being drowned out by the traditional melodies. As a result, reformers like Palestrina revised the rules behind Gregorian chanting, which were printed by the Medici Press in Rome; these reforms continued to be followed to the present day.
