Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius: curating Catholic music digitally

Joanne Bullivant took us on a fantastic journey exploring how to curate Edward Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius digitally. We covered a very broad spectrum including performance vs recording, soundscape and landscape, changes of perception and interpretation and authenticity, law and copyright, buildings and places, politics and religion. Digitalisation makes it easier to access, connect and experience the whole body of Edward Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius multiple dimensions.
