Organized by the AMS Skills and Resources for Early Musics Study Group
This round table discussion with hands-on activities addresses the following questions: How do digital tools inform us about the formation and circulation of sacred musics and their sources (manuscript or otherwise)? What new tools are being created and what are the necessary skills, methods, and theoretical frameworks to implement them? What resources can be created and shared to help young scholars and students toapproach research about sacred music? How can notions of representation and ability/disability be addressed at the interface between Digital Humanities and the research on sacred and liturgical music? The session will be divided as follows: 50 minutes for presentations followed by a 5-10 minute break, about 20 minutes of hands-on activities, and finally about 40 minutes for a round table discussion.
