Medieval music sounds at the Summer Feast of Saint Martin

To mark the 900th anniversary of the city of Utrecht, the summer feast of city patron Saint Martin will be celebrated on 3 and 4 July 2022. The festival is a birthday gift from Utrecht University to the city, initiated by Saint Martin expert Els Rose
As part of the festival programme, music composed by Radboud, bishop of Utrecht between 900 and 917 and a great promoter of Saint Martin, will be performed. He wrote this music especially for the summer feast that was celebrated widely in the Middle Ages.

The manuscript
That music is noted down in a 12th-century manuscript that is part of the collection of Special Collections of Utrecht University Library. During the festival the manuscript is on display in Utrecht Central Museum.
