This year’s MedRen theme explores “The Marriage of Sound and Symbol.”As a tantalizing preview
of the June 15-21 workshop, the collegium will visit the special moment in music history
when composers became fascinated with wedding image, text, and music. Featured will be works by
Henricus Isaac, Josquin Desprez, and Ludwig Senfl who set to music not only the name of the Lord and
the Virgin Mary, but also the Medici Coat of Arms, the planets, and even erotic allegory.
Please join us and we’ll spend this day making glorious music!
Bring your instruments, music stands and pencils. Lunch is potluck. Coffee and tea will be provided.
