History
The Institute was established by the Holy See and Pope Pius X in 1910[1]. The institute was established as a body dedicated to teaching and performing sacred music[2].
On 23 September 1914, Pope Benedict XV referred to the institute as part of the legacy left to him by his predecessor saying he would support and promote it in the best way possible. Pope Pius XI's Motu Proprio, Ad musicae sacrae (22 November 1922) confirmed the connection between the institute and the Apostolic See[3].
With the Apostolic Constitution Deus scientiarum Dominus of 1931, the institute, retitled, the "Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music", was included among the ecclesiastical academic institutes.
