And it's Week 5 in our crowdfunder! Donations are slowly coming in but we would love it if you would share, share, share! This week's history lesson is on how nuns had fun, with lovely video spots from Kristiina Watt, Victoria Couper, Yvonne Eddy, and Elspeth Piggott. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fhQ...

Delighted to have contributed to this book on the diverse and sometimes peculiar ways religious brotherhoods made and sponsored music in 16th- and 17th-century Europe. Hugely indebted to Tess Knighton, who headed up the Confrasound research team. brill.com/edcollbook/t... 1/
cover of a book edited by Tess Knighton, with the title Listening to Confraternities: Spaces for Performance, Patronage and Urban Musical Experience. It's in the Brill series Intersections: Interdisciplinary Studies in Early Modern Culture.

How excited am I for this album?

So excited that I am planning to purchase a CD player, because I want the physical CD.

You should be excited and pre-order the album too!

Here goes... Who's up for a 17th-century #MusicalBookHistoryMystery of the most obscure sort?

We've got swords! We've got motets! We've got double attributions & generic obsessions in a confusing index! We've got a heroic librarian! We've got Franciscan Habit t-shirts (uhhhhh)! 5/
title page of a book issued in 1629 with a prominent image of a cross. The book is titled Flores Verni ex viridario oslaviensi divis tutelaribus Commuinionis Hiearchicae sacri; Id est, de Centuria Musica.... Manipulus ex novem primus. It's printed in Oslavany by a printer named Caspar Hauggenhoffer.

Not content with that, he sets up a printer back home(-ish) in Oslavany, and finds an Italian music theorist to teach another 9 students there. If they need music, why, he'll just print it for them. And that's where our #MusicalBookHistoryMystery comes in. 15/
