MA Thesis: Differentiae in the Cantus Manuscript Database: A Cross-Manuscript Analysis
Why Dal?
I came to Dalhousie initially to complete a Master in Library and Information Studies. Through my work as a Research Assistant on the Cantus Manuscript Database with Dr. Jennifer Bain, I had the opportunity to pursue a Master of Arts in Musicology at the same time.
What Inspires Me?
Through my work as an RA, I have become interested in the relationships between differentiae within medieval chant manuscripts, including relationships within the same document and relationships between documents of different provenance.Ā
