Phonograph records of mediaeval music which, in some cases, has not been heard for nearly 500 years will be played at a free public lecture given by Dom Anselm Hughes, O.S.B., M.A., of Nashdom Abbey, England, in the Harvard University Music Building, Friday, Dec. 7, at 8.15 o'clock.
Mr. Hughes, who is secretary-treasurer of the Plainsong and Mediaeval Music Society, will lecture under the auspices of the Division of Music on the subject of "The Music of King Henry V. and His Circle."
Records To Illustrate
The new phonograph records, especially made by the Nashdom Abbey Singers, will be used to illustrate the lectures. Mr. Hughes will discuss the importance of the period from 1440 to 1460 in English musical history, including the character of the music, instrumental problems, syncopation, and the composers.
Music written by King Henry VI will be covered, with phonograph illustrations, both vocal and instruments.
