This performance and lecture, which took place on Sunday, March 22, 2009, draws the listener into the ethereal world of medieval music. Richard Porterfield, Mannes College instructor and a founding member of the vocal ensemble Lionheart, leads his students from the Schola Cantorum as they perform Gregorian chants from the Met's collection of illuminated choir book pages. He also discusses the relationship of medieval musical notation to illustration, text, and ritual.
