Medieval Music

Doris Colvett and I attended a concert at Lipscomb on Saturday. It was the Chorale, the Reunion Chorale and the Early Consort Group. For many years, the direct Dr. Gerald Moore has been collecting medieval and unusual instruments from all over the world.

Saturday, the songs sung and played ranged from hymns and medieval madigral material to African, Australian, Persian, Palestinian and Scottish tunes. One African wedding song consisted only of the words: " I got him." The event was so good! There was even an early bagpipe.

It made me want to come home and read Shakespeare.

Good work Lipscomb!
