A study of contemporary reconstruction and fifteenth-century compositional processes.The Eton Choirbook is perhaps the most significant source of pre-reformation Englishpolyphony; in June 2018, it was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.However, the loss of leaves from this manuscript means that sixteen incomplete orfragmentary pieces have been neither studied in detail nor, in most cases,polyphonically reconstructed. This project will generate a unique set of six hypotheticalreconstructions, four of which have never previously been published. Enhanced bycollaborative creative practice, these reconstructions will inform an analysis oflate-medieval compositional processes and lead to an evaluation of reconstructionprocesses as a means of understanding early music.
