In the Middle Ages, religious paintings, sculptures, and liturgical and devotional objects rarely existed in isolation. Instead, they were situated in a multi-media environment, with other sights, smells, and sounds. In particular, sacred music was a ubiquitous element of the soundscape against which the religious arts were experienced. This concert features medieval musical works commonly heard when images and objects such as these were either displayed or brought to the fore during a communal service, or, in the case of personal moments of spiritual reflection, were used as objects for meditation and rumination. Performers include faculty members and graduate students in the School of Music and Dance, in collaboration with Lori Kruckenberg, Associate Professor of Musicology.
