## What is Aural Histories?

Aural Histories: Coventry 1451-1642 is a historical musicology and architectural history project that seeks new insights into the experience of music in the City of Coventry during a period of immense cultural change. Taking the visit of King Henry VI to Coventry in 1451 as its starting point, the project is mapping the changing musical experiences of those living and performing in the city onto the socio-economic, historical, and religious-political landscape of this important provincial location, informed by a rich but under-researched seam of fragmentary primary sources.

This app provides an insight into how Coventry's civic and sacred spaces might have looked and what the musical experience of those spaces could have been like, through audio and visual models of St Mary's Guildhall, St Michael's Parish Church, and Holy Trinity Church.
