Hi all!
Here is the final version of the schedule - we had to move some

Class name: Pérotin and the Music of the Notre Dame School

Description:This class will discuss features of the compositional
style of the Notre Dame school, a group of composers working at the
Notre Dame Cathedral between 1150 and 1260.  It will explain organum,
rhythmic modes and modal notation, and the development of the motet.
The piece "Alleluia, Nativitas" by Pérotin will be examined as one
example of the Notre Dame compositional style.
