>Dear CMRS Faculty, Graduate Students and Friends:
>
>On Friday, the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Ohio 
>State presents "The Savior, the Woman, and the Head of the Dragon in 
>Late Medieval Music," a lecture by Anne Walters Robertson.  Her 
>lecture will address the following:
>
>Oftentimes, great theological themes fundamentally inform art and 
>music, and this was particularly true in the late middle ages. The 
>Ur-Messianic prophecy from Genesis lies at the heart of three of the 
>most famous polyphonic masses composed in the late fifteenth century 
>and a motet for the Virgin Mary. This paper illustrates the ways in 
>which this theology is represented in these works and how an 
>evolving doctrine related to it plays out in music of the period.
>
>Prof. Robertson is the Claire Dux Swift Distinguished Service 
>Professor of Music at the University of Chicago.  Friday's lecture 
>will be in honor of Herbert Livingston, who was one of the founders 
>of our Center.
>
>The lecture begins at 1:30 pm in Room 122 of the Main Library.  It 
>will be followed by informal conversation and refreshments with the 
>speaker.  If you have any questions, please contact us at 
>[log in to unmask] or 614-292-7495.
>
>We hope to see you there.
