Dear colleagues, may I draw your attention to a workshop that will take place in Newcastle next week on the topic of 'Sacred Voices', focussing on the interplay of vernacular text production, liturgy and musical culture in Northern Germany, the Netherlands and England in 15-16th century: http://research.ncl.ac.uk/medingen/sacredvoices/. This comes at fairly short notice but the workshop is intended only as a starting point, to test how the collaboration between medieval music and literature is going to work, with a special emphasis on new ways of digital editing. At the same time, this is the opportunity to present to a wider public the database of Medingen manuscripts which was launched at the conference on Medingen last October in Hamburg. Many features of the database http://research.ncl.ac.uk/medingen/ are freely accessible (introduction, bibliography, list of sigla, short descriptions of the manuscripts and a flash presentation of the main features of the database). Those interested in accessing the password-protected image-files should contact either Andres Laubinger who is responsible for the maintenance of the database ([log in to unmask]) or me.
