Commonplace | Oct 2, Easthampton

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 us 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 us celebrate these powerful example’s of music’s ability to amplify the areas in which people have always found and made meaning: family care, spirituality, work, and play.
