SCHOLA PASTORIS ANTIQUAE MUSICAE
 Schola
Pastoris Antiquae Musicae, the early music ensemble of the Shepherd
School of Music at Rice University, was founded by director Honey
Meconi in 1987. The ensemble, including its subsidiary MWC (Men
Who Chant), performs vocal and instrumental music from Gregorian
chant to Elizabethan madrigals in concerts and worship services
throughout the Houston and Galveston area, and has performed for
such special events as the Neil J. O'Brien Triennial Symposium in
Medieval Studies and the National Endowment for the Humanities Summer
Institute on Literary Traditions in Medieval Women.
The ensemble specializes in the music of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179),
and has embarked on a long-term project to perform all of the music
that she wrote.
