Abstract
What is medieval music? Manuscripts, paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages are full of men and women playing all kinds of instruments: but what did they play? And how? Who played music, and for whom? And what did instrumental music mean? Was it simply for entertainment, or did it have a more complex and deeper function?
In addition to being played by Jacopo Bisagni on flutes and bagpipes, each of these eleven pieces shall be used in this lecture performance to address a specific question, with the help of art, literature and music treatises from the same age as the manuscript itself.
