SUMMARY:Ensemble Scholastica presents McGill's Special Collections
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/gg3b26TS1Nc?si=wF-81nWLx_aUhIq8[/
 embed]\n\nDISCOVER MONTRÉAL’S HIDDEN MEDIEVAL TREASURES!\n\n\n\nMusical
  notation was first elaborated in Europe during the early Middle Ages. It 
 continued to develop throughout the period to reflect the increasingly sop
 histicated musical tastes and skills of medieval musicians\, composers\, a
 nd scribes. Their legacy to the modern world is both a universal method of
  notating music and an immense collection of manuscripts that provide a re
 cord of the repertoires of that period. These are the primary sources for 
 the musicians of today who perform medieval music.\n\nEach manuscript also
  has a story to tell beyond the music it contains. A medieval manuscript r
 arely remained in its place of origin. Most were lost\, transformed\, sent
  far away as gifts or acquired by wealthy parties\, only to re-emerge cent
 uries later\, often in fragmentary form. In this way\, a number of medieva
 l manuscripts and fragments containing musical notation have ended up at M
 cGill University’s Rare Books and Special Collections.\n\n\nLike McGill\
 , Ensemble Scholastica is based in Montréal. It is also Canada’s only f
 emale vocal ensemble that specializes in the performance of medieval plain
 chant and polyphony. With this concert\, Ensemble Scholastica will be the 
 first professional ensemble to create an entire program featuring selectio
 ns from these largely unknown medieval sources in McGill’s possession.\n
 \nIn addition to the November 10th concert featuring our eight singers\, t
 here will be an evening of free activities introducing the public to McGil
 l’s special collections of medieval manuscripts. This event will be held
  on November 7 at McGill's Rare Books and Special Collections Library. The
  manuscripts will remain on display for several months.\n\n
