Join us for an in-depth look at the Newberry’s rich holdings of choirbooks from colonial Mexico, which combined European forms with Indigenous traditions to produce new spiritual music.
This roundtable discussion will examine the books and music from three diverse perspectives: music historian Ireri Chávez-Bárcenas will illuminate the cultural context of the music, art historian Claudia Brittenham will consider the material aspects of the Newberry’s large-scale books, and renowned early music vocalist Ellen Hargis will share the experience of researching and performing the music today. Clips of recordings of music from these historic books will serve as the soundtrack for the conversation.
This event is cosponsored by the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation.
