Music in the Time of Dante

If any of you are going to be in the Bay Area in late October, I will be speaking on Italian Music at the Time of Dante for the Lectura Dantis at the National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi. For those of you needing a good excuse to get to San Francisco, this probably isn't it, but late October is a beautiful time of year in the city (it is also a good time to eat at local restaurants, particularly Oliveto or Chez Panisse).

The music of that era was interesting, and I hope to do it justice. Come one come all. Come for the Ars Nova, stay for the Vita Nuova!
