About the conference
For more than a millennium, the exclamation Benedicamus Domino (‘Let us bless the Lord’) has sounded in song several times a day, with various liturgical and ritual functions. This two-day conference, convened and funded by the European Research Council Project BENEDICAMUS led by Catherine A. Bradley, explores the history of the Benedicamus versicle, its musical and poetic embellishments, and its sacred, secular, and material contexts across the fullest extent of the versicle’s wide chronological and geographical span.
