There are no special rituals concerning the zucchetto, the skull cap worn by bishops, cardinals and popes. It is removed at the Preface of Mass and replaced after communion.
A priests skull cap is called a "Zuchetto". Another name for it is a "Callote". Ref: www.myfreedictionary.com
Any music not written for use in religious rituals or celebrations is non-liturgical. As such, almost every major composer from any age wrote at least some non-liturgical music. From the earliest times, Monteverdi, Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven up to our own time, they all have written non-liturgical music.
The zucchetto is removed at the commencement of the Preface and replaced at the conclusion of the Communion.
Popes customarily wear a white zucchetto and that included Pope John XXIII.
Biretta or, in some rare cases, a zucchetto may be worn. However, the zucchetto is more commonly worn by a bishop or cardinal.
Symbols commonly found in the rituals of Holy Orders include the laying on of hands by the bishop, the vesting of the newly ordained with liturgical garments, the presentation of the Book of the Gospels, and the anointing with sacred chrism. These symbols represent the transmission of authority and grace from the Church to the ordained minister.

Roman Catholic AnswerI'm going to step out on a limb here and assume that you're asking if Catholics wear skull caps. The answer is yes, for priests and bishops. It is called a zucchetto, a small round skullcap and it is different colors depending on who is wearing it: The Holy Father wears a white zucchetto, Cardinals wear a red zucchetto, and there is a ceremony when the Holy Father creates Cardinal in which he personally gives them their zucchetto. Purple is for bishops and some Monsignors, and black is for abbots (the ruler of a monastery), although I have seen some priests wearing a black zucchetto as well.
