The Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) of the University of Navarra and the Music Chapel of the Cathedral of Pamplona have published the book Obras de maestros italianos en la Catedral de Pamplona (Works by Italian masters in the Cathedral of Pamplona). It is the first volume of the project Chantria Pampilonense, fruit of a agreement between both institutions, and has been edited by Aurelio Sagaseta, director of the Music Chapel, and coordinated by Rafael Zafra, within the project 'Creativity and Cultural Heritage' of the ICS.

This collection, co-published by Ediciones Universidad de Navarra (EUNSA) and the German publishing house Edition Reichenberger, seeks to rediscover the cultural past of the Foral community and make it available to interpreters and researchers since, according to its authors, there is a lack of scientific research on this discipline.

The book gathers three unpublished works by the Italian composers Francesco Grassi and Girolamo Sertori that the Cabildo has kept for centuries. From the first one, the psalm 'Dixit Dominus' a ocho and the 'Misa a ocho' have been adapted and updated to the current notation. Of the second, the 'Mass to Otto Voci' dedicated to the Virgin of the Way of Pamplona has been updated. According to Sagaseta, while it is unknown how the works of the first master arrived in Pamplona (he points out that it could have been through the Navarrese Francisco Vides), the second composer did visit the Navarrese capital.

In addition, the maestro de Capilla highlights the revolutionary nature of Sertori's work at the time, who introduced the use of complete scores for conducting, trumpets and oboes in Pamplona's sacred music, as well as music linked to the world of opera and theater.

The project Chantria Pampilonense has as goal to preserve, recover and disseminate the historical-musical heritage of the Cabildo. This commitment is materialized in the update of this bequest through its transcription, revision and edition to make it available to the society.
