On Friday, October 18th, Collectio Musicorum will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a concert featuring music from the Carmina Burana manuscript. This 13th-century manuscript is a compilation of works in Latin and German that were popular among wandering scholars and monks and range from the very pious to the very ribald. Although the musical notation in the manuscript is not decipherable, around one quarter of the texts also appear in other sources, and it is from these works that the concert program is assembled. Some of the named authors to be heard are Philip the Chancellor, whose place in the history of music is paramount; Gottried of St. Victor, from the famous monastery which was the center of Parisian theology; and Walter of Chatillon, author of an epic poem on Alexander the Great and vindictive lover. The incredible stories behind the music performed will make this a night to remember. Also included are a piece from the manuscript’s passion play and drinking songs in several languages.
