An Eastman Scholar in Italy
November 2007
Professor Patrick Macey, scholar of Medieval and Renaissance music and chair of Eastman’s musicology department, recently traveled to Bologna, Italy, to take part in Il movimento domenicano al femminile: storia, figure, istituzioni – an international conference on women and spirituality in the early middle ages and early modern period that brought together historians, theologians, and other scholars.
Patrick delivered a paper on music in Dominican convents. The conference took place in the Capella Ghisilardi of the Convento patriarcale San Domenico, “a 16th-century chapel that was added to the older church of San Domenico, which holds the 13th-century tomb of St. Dominic,” says Patrick, who adds “My paper was a great success, especially due to the recorded music examples from the CD in my book (Bonfire Songs: Savonarola’s Musical Legacy, 1998).”
