Welcome to the CRIM Atelier for 2021!

Here you will find all you need to for the workshop-presentation with Daniel Russo-Batterham (Melbourne University) and Richard Freedman (Haverford College). During this session participants will learn about the digital tools and collaborative methods for the study of Renaissance music, here with a special focus on the Imitation (or Parody) Mass of the sixteenth century, via Citations: The Renaissance Imitation Mass. Read more about the project and its methods via the menus above.

No previous experience with the project or tools is presumed, but we encourage you to watch the introductory video (below).
