One of the highlights from the pope's trip to Geneva was the music. The Holy Father was constantly accompanied by a rich variety of styles and melodies that gave the visit a special tone.<\/p>\n
When Pope Francis arrived in Geneva, a military band played the Vatican anthem. <\/p>\n
Later came the Swiss Confederation anthem.<\/p>\n
While the pope greeted other officials, he was surprised with \u201cLibertango\u201d by Astor Piazzolla, one of his favorite Argentinian composers, starting the visit off on the right note. <\/p>\n
During the ecumenical encounter, this choir presented a wide variety of songs demonstrating the richness of different traditions. For example, this song in Spanish entitled, \u201cHoly, Holy my heart adores you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Korean woman who directed the international choir chose various musical styles, even surprising with the hymn of the Jubilee of Mercy. <\/p>\n
Later, to bid Pope Francis farewell, they presented him this song with a catchier rhythm. <\/p>\n
When the Holy Father arrived at the Palex for Mass with 40,000 pilgrims, this youth choir welcomed him with \u201cWhat the Lord Has Done in Me,\u201d the lead singer showcasing a spectacular voice. <\/p>\n
During the ceremony, traditional songs were played in original ways, like this one, \u201cLaudate Dominum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Or this one, \u201cAleluya.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, during Communion, they concluded this musical day with a touching version of \u201cAnima Christi'. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
