Music in Medieval and Early Modern Europe

Each year, the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies has the pleasure of inviting a Distinguished Visiting Scholar to Victoria University. In the past, such well-known figures as Paul Oskar Kristeller, Elisabeth Gleason, and the late Heiko Oberman have been with us.

In 2002, the Centre welcomed Dr. Margaret Bent, a specialist in the study of Renaissance Music. Dr. Bent is a Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. She obtained her doctorate at Cambridge University and has taught in England and at in the United States (at Brandeis and Princeton). Dr. Bent has published extensively on a wide variety of topics pertaining to Renaissance English, French, and Italian music, including music theory and counterpoint technique, and has published a number of editions of music manuscripts.

On the occasion of Dr. Bent's visit to Victoria University, the CRRS mounted an exhibition of books and manuscript materials on early music from our collection.
