Concordian Dawn, ensemble for medieval music, and Sarah Kay, troubadour scholar and Professor of French Literature, Thought and Culture at New York University, come to the campus of UC Davis to present a performance-lecture on music and texts from twelfth- through fourteenth-century France. Highlighting material from their forthcoming publication/recording collaboration, Medieval Song from Aristotle to Opera (Cornell University Press and MSR Classics) and the ensemble’s debut studio album, “Fortuna Antiqua et Ultra” (MSR Classics), the program will include songs from the troubadours, trouvères and Guillaume de Machaut to Guillaume Du Fay, along with instrumental dances, polyphonic motets, and conductus of the Notre Dame tradition.
