It emerges as a direct result of a practice-led research project conducted by Professor John Harper at Bangor University, in collaboration with Salisbury Cathedral and St Fagans National History Museum, near Cardiff, between 2010 and 2013. The book aims to unravel the intricate tapestry of ritual, devotion, music, physicality, and architecture that formed medieval Latin liturgy, recognizing the challenges of recovering its essence through other means than practice. Contrary to previous studies of reconstructed liturgies, the project's primary objective was not solely the re-creation of historical rituals but rather the generation of new data for interpretation and further inquiry. While rooted in a robust foundation of historical, musicological, textual, architectural, and archaeological research, the book explores innovative methods of investigation and interpretation, subjecting them to rigorous testing and validation throughout. A central emphasis is placed on practice-led inquiry and artistic creation, fostering imagination and ingenuity. It is acknowledged that the participants in these enactments must be of the present day, emphasizing the contemporary nature of the endeavor. The discussion of the processes involved in preparing, analyzing, and interpreting the enactments is complemented by contextual studies, with a particular focus on the provision of music. A distinctive aspect of this work is its endeavor to comprehend the diverse experiences of different groups within the medieval church, encompassing clergy, assistants, singers, and laity. By examining their participation in various rituals across both a grand cathedral and a small parish church, the book challenges prevailing interpretations of these experiences that have endured since the Reformation. Furthermore, it sheds light on the complexities and nuances of their involvement, offering fresh perspectives and insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 694g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 175 x 247 x 27 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367202415\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104626274554,"sku":"9780367202415","price":43.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/75691f5e67d663f2bde9ed5974698ea7.jpg?v=1628132776","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/late-medieval-liturgies-enacted-the-experience-of-worship-in-cathedral-and-parish-church","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
