Weissengruber, Rainer (2020). Latino & Musica tra le mura scolastiche e nell’“hortus conclusus“ della formazione. Ars docendi, 5, dicembre 2020.
In his text, Rainer Weissengruber emphasises how important it would be to include the subject of ‘music’ in Latin lessons, at least as a kind of elective subject or additional module. Numerous references indicate how many different possibilities there are for this. And the author addresses an aspect that represents one of the many absurdities of our time: how important it would be to introduce Latin as a subject in the Italian ‘Liceo musicale’. Without knowledge of Latin, a musicologist cannot grasp a large part of the musical heritage. The current ‘liceo musicale’ in Italy has to manage without Latin.
