Audrey Ekdahl Davidson was a professor of music for many years at
Western Michigan University. In honor of her retirement and her history
with the Society for Old Music, an organization that she founded in
1966, this collection of music has been selected and prepared. The
transcriptions were all designed for performances by the Society for Old
Music, and were used in concerts for the local community, the
International Congress on Medieval Studies, and other audiences in
Michigan. The Society's concerts ranged from medieval chant and
monophonic song to polyphonic choral works, and each concert focused on
a particular topic, perhaps most successfully when music-drama was
joined to liturgical display. The collection is a fitting tribute to
tireless scholar, and an asset to any student of early music
performance.
