Echoes from the Past: Unveiling a Lost Soundscape with Digital Analysis

Echoes from the Past: Unveiling a Lost Soundscape with Digital Analysis

Principal Investigator: Elsa De Luca
Co-investigator: Manuel Pedro Ferreira

Abstract

ECHOES pursues a deeper understanding of an early chant repertory from medieval and early modern Portugal (up to the 17th cent.). While the main research questions are musicological, this project involves a large component of information technologies related to the development and application of techniques such as OMR and MEI to early music scores. ECHOES will combine these technologies in new ways to make available to scholars and music aficionados a chant repertory that was part of the cultural identity of the region of Braga for centuries.
