Digital archives and music between Italy and Jerusalem
Voices & Knowledge is the online learning strand of JERUS-IT-ARTS, conceived as the digital extension of the project's teaching and research activities. It brings together four multilingual video lectures available to anyone studying, researching, or simply interested in music and digital archives.
The first lecture provides the foundational elements of digital archiving, highlighting its role as a fundamental component of cultural heritage research and preservation.
The second consists of a brief lecture on the history of Palestinian music from 1948 to the present day and reinforces the project's objective of building a strong cultural bridge between Italy and the Middle East.
The third presents the complex research efforts surrounding the invaluable historic organ, built in the twelfth century, discovered by Franciscan archaeologists in Bethlehem, and currently preserved by the Custody of the Holy Land in Jerusalem.
The fourth video provides a summary of a masterclass delivered by Walter Chinaglia, who reconstructed the organ depicted in the twelfth-century Stephen Harding Bible.
