Judith Oliver, author of Singing with Angels: Liturgy, Music, and Art in the Gradual of Gisela von Kerssenbrock (2007) will speak on the many ways in which music and image work together in this Cistercian chant manuscript from the end of the thirteenth century. Sharon Gerstel will discuss the representation of liturgical hymns within the monumental decoration of Byzantine monasteries and the architectural and artistic creation of performance space
