The origins of Cappella Musicale della Santa Casa go to the eight singers of the Basilica that have the beautiful work to do – celebration of the masses and singing at least one of them each day. It was founded in 1976 and with the arrival of father Giuliano Viabile as the organist of the Basilica in 1987 a choral group Corale Lauretana was established to serve during the masses and perform in concerts. In 2013 the group was renewed to again serve the purposes of the International Marian sanctuary in Loreto. The repertoire of the Cappella Musicale varies from the Renaissance period up to contemporary music. They have also performed some of the Masses composed by Maestro Viabile for the first time.
Maestro Giuliano Viabile was born in Frontale di Apiro, Italy in 1946 and was ordained priest in 1971. He finished his musical studies at the Conservatory of G. Rossini in Pesaro, followed by studies at the Conservatory of N. Piccinni in Bari where he studied organ and organ composition together with maestro Adamo Volpi under the guidance of maestro Nino Rota. As a music teacher he taught at state schools and participated in many courses dealing with the Mediterranean polyphony. Since 1987 he has been the head organist of the Basilica of the Holy House of Loreto and the music director of the music group of th same name. He has performed in many countries (Spain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Malta, Hungary, Greece, France, Ukraine, Liechtenstein| and was member of many onternational juries. He has also led singing courses and courses of adiastamatic notation. He has composed many masses, motets and oratorios and is currently the Art director of the “Virgo Lauretana” Sacred Music Festival and of the “Angeli musicanti” Organ Festival.
