| Abstract | Hands-on investigation of the physical, sensory and emotional has been a key feature of the Experience of Worship research project, with enactments of medieval liturgies as a central point (rather than a culmination) of the research process - offering a markedly different and innovative approach to practice-led research. This session, the second of two, explores the challenges posed by the primary sources for the creation of medieval liturgy, music and lay participation, and discusses experiments in enactment and their interpretation. It draws on recent enactments of late medieval Masses, Offices and a Procession in both Salisbury Cathedral and the small parish church of St Teilo, Llandeilo Talybont, now situated in St Fagans National History Museum Wales. |
