<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Benjamin Brand, University of North Texas College of Music<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“In the centuries of political and economic instability that followed the Sack of Rome (410), the bishops of Lucca, in northern Tuscany, embraced the text, music, and ritual of “stational liturgy.” This paper will look at how these religious
processions from church to church, accompanied by solemn singing, helped to preserve the fragile religious and political unity of the city.”<o:p></o:p></p>
