Commonplace

Commonplace, October 2 at 7:30pm Music from commonplace books, personal notebooks of indispensable knowledge. Hear it performed live. In times when access to paper and ink was limited, you could learn a lot about what someone valued from their commonplace book. If music made it into someone's precious pages, then it must have meant a lot to them. Join Lyracle for an hour of ordinary people's musical treasures found tucked between pages of 15th-17th century recipes, inspirational quotes, poems, and medicinal cures. Help them celebrate these powerful examples of music's enduring ability to amplify the areas in which people find and make meaning: family care, spirituality, work, and play.
