Dal researcher leads global project to empower scholars of medieval chant
A new data-driven research project led by Dalhousie musicologist Dr. Jennifer Bain will create an online platform that links far-flung plainchant databases around the world, providing a vast electronic resource to deepen understanding of the a cappella chants and those who created and recited them.
Some #MusicalBookHistory for a Friday! From top left:

Yesterday was the birthday of Cardinal Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, a surprisingly important figure in the history of #EarlyModern worship and #BookHistory. So I wrote a blogpost in his honour!

Today is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some reformed communities continued to celebrate the feast after the Reformation; here’s the Alleluia Assumpta est Maria!

There is something very special about working with the only extant copy of an #EarlyModern book; even more so when it’s heavily used and repaired. What a lovely way to spend a Monday!
Unfortunately the book is not digitized and I can’t share my images. But picture a hand-sized octavo volume with a liberally underlined preface that contains instructions for celebrating worship and lots of notated music.

I might be working on a Saturday, but one of my books has a privilege that names Martina Plantin (Moretus), which is very exciting! More about Martina can be found in this article:

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!

Dreamed about these books last night … I have #BookHistory on the brain!
