ECHOES depends on a dynamic interplay between the team members, who are historical musicologists and scholars from the STEM disciplines. ECHOES presents an example of truly interdisciplinary research, where musicologists and music-technology scholars feed into each other’s research while working towards a common goal.

By including six students and a post-doc fellow, ECHOES provides advanced training in such diverse areas as codicology and music palaeography, early music, critical editing, and computer-aided musical analysis. Such skills development is critical for the future of research.

ECHOES’s team of researchers and consultants includes the most renowned international scholars working in the field of plainchant music and brings together the current top experts with an established track record in computational musicology applied to chant.
