This book critically explores ways in which our understanding of
late medieval liturgy can be enhanced through present-day
enactment. It is a direct outcome of a practice-led research
project, led by Professor John Harper and undertaken at Bangor
University between 2010 and 2013 in partnership with Salisbury
Cathedral and St Fagans National History Museum, near Cardiff. The
book seeks to address the complex of ritual, devotional, musical,
physical and architectural elements that constitute medieval Latin
liturgy, whose interaction can be so difficult to recover other
than through practice. In contrast with previous studies of
reconstructed liturgies, enactment was not the exclusive end-goal
of the project; rather it has created a new set of data for
interpretation and further enquiry. Though based on a foundation of
historical, musicological, textual, architectural and
archaeological research, new methods of investigation and
interpretation are explored, tested and validated throughout. There
is emphasis on practice-led investigation and making; the need for
imagination and creativity; and the fact that enactment
participants can only be of the present day. Discussion of the
processes of preparation, analysis and interpretation of the
enactments is complemented by contextual studies, with particular
emphasis on the provision of music. A distinctive feature of the
work is that it seeks to understand the experiences of different
groups within the medieval church - the clergy, their assistants,
the singers, and the laity - as they participated in different
kinds of rituals in both a large cathedral and a small parish
church. Some of the conclusions challenge interpretations of these
experiences, which have been current since the Reformation. In
addition, some consideration is given to the implications of
understanding past liturgy for present-day worship.
