MuckAbout with Trobár: Musicianship in Christine's Day

Trobár welcomes you to come obsess with us about medieval author Christine de Pizan and the music of her era. As a teaser for our upcoming shows (Oct. 25-26) featuring her proto-feminist work, we introduce you to some of the musical practices prevalent in early 15th c. France, including aural learning, the Guidonian hand and hexachordal solmization, fauxbourdon, mensural notation, and counterpoint. Bring instruments (pitch=A440), voices, and appetites (musical and culinary) for this fun and educational chance to muck about in the 15th century!
