The Choirbook
This exhibition focuses on how music takes shape. The choir book from the late 14th century is an example of how monks wanted to give more meaning to the notation of music. This manuscript contains no more than four illuminations and these are not casually placed. Three of them mark important holidays in the liturgy: resurrection, ascension and Pentecost. Moreover, the illuminations make the music manuscript attractive, even for those who cannot read notes.
