Inaugural Lecture: Music, politics and the importance of understanding the text

Music, politics and the importance of understanding the text is a joint inaugural lecture delivered by Elaine Moohan, Professor of Musicology, and Byron Dueck, Professor of Music, who will present their research into religious music from Scotland, England and Cameroon.

They will explore historical arguments about the understandability of the words in this music, as well as the consequences of these arguments for how music was subsequently composed.
