Hi fellow #histodons! Since I’m moving towards mastodon I thought I’d introduce myself properly.

I’m a cultural historian of music and books, with a particular focus on the relationships between music, worship, and identities in times of upheaval.

My current Marie Skłodowska-Curie project investigates how musical saints’ cults connected Lutherans and Catholics despite the rupture of the #Reformation.

Other research areas include #MusicPrinting, #MusicalBookHistory, #BookHistory, #CounterReformation #Ecumenicism, #CulturalHeritage, the musical lives of #Beguines, and … #CallTheMidwife (#nuntastic).

Looking forward to connecting with other @bookhistodons, @histodons, @bookstodon!

6 January is the feast of the #Epiphany, so here is Vidimus Stellam, an early #17thCentury #motet for the day by William #Byrd, from #Gradualia, 1607.

Eleanor Cramer: #soprano
Christopher Goodwin: #lute

Vidimus stellam in Orientem, et venimus cum muneribus adorare Dominum.
We have seen a star in the East, and have come with gifts to adore the Lord.
