Building: Tisch Library City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Tisch Special Collections, room 103 Wheelchair Accessible: Yes Open to Public: Yes Event Type: Exhibition Event Subject: Arts,Humanities,Music Event Contact Name: Patrick Quinn Event Contact Email: patrick.quinn@tufts.edu Link: https://tischlibrary.tufts.edu/node/3590 The exhibit will be on view from October 30, 2025 until the end of the semester. This exhibit brings together a selection of music materials from Tisch Library Special Collections, including scores and texts from the Frédéric Louis Ritter Collection. Items on display range from a handwritten illuminated manuscript with early neume notation to scientific music treatises to a Requiem Mass (also known as Mass for the dead)—all representing changes in printing technology and music notation over several hundred years. The materials illustrate music printing practices in use in Europe from the early modern period through the industrial revolution of the nineteenth century, including manuscripts written and decorated by hand, letterpress printing with woodblocks, and printing with engraved copper or metal plates. Print your own images on the letterpress using woodblock plates of illustrations and examples from texts featured in the exhibit: Zarlino’s Le istitutioni harmoniche (1558), Lasso’s Selectissimæ cantiones, quas vulgo motetas vocant (1568), or Kircher’s Musurgia universalis, sive, Ars magna consoni et dissoni in decem libros digesta (1650). Join the Digital Design Studio for a brief demonstration of how we produced the printing plates used during this exhibition. From sourcing high quality digital images, creating a vector file and then engraving with a laser cutter, we’ll talk through the process, challenges, and decision making that went into making the final plates. We’ll also share some upcoming opportunities for you to learn more about laser engraving your own designs! Demonstrations are 20 minutes and run every 30 minutes at 4:30 and 5 p.m.
