October 2011: The Lost Voices Project and the École thematique at Tours.
During the last week of October, some two dozen scholars, students, and musicians will gather at the CESR in Tours for the second École thematique for a series of workshops dealing with various “lost” repertories of the 15th and 16th centuries. We will survey the repertory, and in particular the challenges of reconstructing fragmentary or otherwise incomplete compositions. We will also set to work on them, sharing our collective expertise and exploring ways to expose the process of reconstruction in a digital, collaborative environment. The Du Chemin Lost Voices Project will be an important part of our labors for the week. We hope to build on the lessons learned in Tours, and bring them to scholars in North American during 2011 through 2013.
