About the Event
The Luttrell Psalter contains detailed visual depictions of medieval music-making and a wide array of instruments, including harps, psalteries, bagpipes, and shawms, providing insight into rural and aristocratic musical practices in 14th-century England. While some final pages of the manuscript include musical notation, the primary focus on music comes from its rich illustrations, which show figures singing hymns and psalms, representing devotion, and sometimes even depicting the devil in a musical context
