Alexander Leonidas Lingas (Project Director: May 2020 to July 2023)

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, this project will enable Cappella Romana, a scholarship- and research-based musical organization, to continue its rigorous investigations into Byzantine music and related repertoires, including A) "A Byzantine Emperor at King Henry's Court," on the music sung on the visit of Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologos (1350-1425) to English King Henry IV; B) A new manual on how to read Byzantine chant notation; and C) A critical edition of selected chants from Grottaferrata near Rome. This grant will sustain this work during the current crisis. Led by Byzantine musicologist Dr. Alexander Lingas, Cappella Romana's research and performances have made unique contributions to our national cultural and humanities ecology for over 29 years. Those contributions include scholarly articles, printed and digital musical editions, and unique public performances and commercially available recordings made possible by extensive musicological study.
