Bruges’s favourite musicologist opens the polyphony treasure chest

What is polyphony? How was it notated? And how do those rather mysterious church modes work? These questions and more are tackled in a comprehensive lecture by Ignace Bossuyt, specialist and hard-core fan of mediaeval and Renaissance polyphonic music. Learn all about polyphony’s origins and evolution, in the context of Roland de Lassus's Psalmi Davidis poenitentialis.
