  Going beyond the limits: experiment with timbre in vocal and instrumental practice in modal music

  This title, inspired by a Christopher Page article, points out a key question about the reenactment of medieval music: how to put in sound the vast repertoire that we have inherited. This question links the instruments and their music, as they immediately imply issues related to performance and organological knowledge.
