Event Announcement
Voice and Voicelessness in Medieval Europe and Beyond: An Interdisciplinary Conference in
Medieval Studies
Thursday, February 28 - Friday, March 1
Boston University College of Arts and Sciences, 725 Commonwealth Avenue, Room 200
This two-day international
conference<http://www.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5148294ee58086…
brings together scholars in literature, theology, law, art history, history, and
musicology, to examine the practices and values attached to the human voice in medieval
cultures. The topic of voice and voicelessness engages with issues of law and
representation; theology and embodiment; historicist models of subjectivity; the poetics
and esthetics of marginality; and the linguistic dynamics of intercultural encounter. The
conference seeks a common ground for interdisciplinary dialogue by examining how distinct
areas of scholarly endeavor approach a problem of universal resonance but elusive
definition. To support the project’s commitment to fostering dialogue, paper abstracts
and selected passages from works to be discussed will be available online shortly in
advance of the conference event. For more information, please contact Irit
Kleiman<mailto:kleiman@bu.edu>.

Divine Songs: A Special Concert Performance by Blue Heron
Friday, March 1
8 PM
808 Gallery, 808 Commonwealth Avenue
Blue
Heron<http://www.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=b5148294ee5808676da0…
performs "Divine songs: Connections and exchanges between secular song and music,
featuring the music of Johannes Ockeghem" (c. 1420-1497). Pre-concert talk by musical
director Scott Metcalfe at 7:15pm. Reception to follow.
Blue Heron is a professional vocal ensemble that combines a commitment to vivid live
performance with the study of original source materials and historical performance
practice. Blue Heron's principal repertoire interests are fifteenth-century English
and Franco-Flemish polyphony, ranging from Dunstable and Du Fay through Ockeghem to
Josquin; Spanish music between about 1500 and 1575; and neglected early sixteenth-century
English music, especially the rich and unexplored repertory of the Peterhouse partbooks
(c. 1540).
Sponsored by the Boston University Center for the Humanities; the Center for the Study of
Europe; the departments of English, History, and Romance Studies; the Italian
Interdisciplinary Fund; and by the Institut universitaire de France.
