Missives on Music in the Seventeenth Century: A View of Education and Values (3/3)

Music historians generally rely on scores and musical treatises rather than correspondence to trace the history of music.  Associate Chair and Lecturer Joseph “Skip” Morin’s analysis of the “Lettre de Mr Le Gallois a Mademoiselle Regnault de Solier touchant la Musique” (Paris: Michallet, 1680) provides both a broad and insightful view of music in Paris during the second half of the seventeenth century and glimpses into the cultural and social values of Parisian culture at the time.

This discussion, which is part of the Humanities Forum, will be March 3, 4 p.m., in the Albin O. Kuhn Library, 7th Floor. The sponsor is the Dresher Center for the Humanities.
