Learning Adult Learning Music from a Medieval Manuscript: Bringing the St Albans Processional to Life Book here Join us as a unique medieval manuscript from St Albans Abbey scriptorium is brought to life for the first time in 800 years. In the atmospheric setting of the Cathedral, experience the music from this manuscript being performed in the place where the twelfth-century monks writing it intended it to be heard. Dr Thomas Phillips will introduce the manuscript and reveal what it tells us about music, worship, and daily life at St Albans Abbey as it rose to national prominence. Live performances given by musicians Andrew Carwood and James Preston of chants from the book will transport you back to the sounds that shaped medieval worship. Please note that this event is being held in-person only and will not be recorded.
