About the event
Join us for a ‘listen, print, sing’ and learn about the Bodleian’s collections of missionary archives, tonic sol-fa, and printing.
A talk will explore examples of printing and archival materials from East and southern Africa that illustrate the use of printing and tonic sol-fa in nineteenth-century missionary work.
Participants will learn to print the music of a hymn in Tonic sol-fa and then have a go at singing through it.
The session is led by Philip Burnett, University of York, and Bodleian staff. All levels of ability are welcome. Booking is essential as spaces are limited.
Speakers
Philip Burnett is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow in the School of Arts and Creative Technologies at the University of York.
