Mro Joseph Grech has just completed a concise visual presentation on the cataloguing of the music archives at the Gozo Cathedral.
The archives consist of two sections – the Cathedral Chapter Collection, with 909 compositions, and the Gauci Collection, with 369 pieces.
Grech compiled a detailed catalogue based on international norms while refining and redoing an inventory initially compiled by Noel D’Anastas in the 1980s with upgrades of additional compositions unearthed since then. This first phase of the project was made possible through the assistance of the Cultural Heritage Directorate within the Gozo Ministry.
Copies of both catalogues were presented to archdeacon Mgr Tarcisio Camilleri, Mgr Joseph Gauci and to the Gozo Ministry and Public Library.
‘The Economy vs The Environment: A Trade-Off, or Prerequisites for Each Other?’ is the theme of the fifth edition of the annual ‘STRIP’ educational discussion of the Society for Architecture and Civil Engineering Students (SACES). This year it will be held at the Cathedral Museum, Mdina, on Wednesday, March 3 at 6pm, and professionally live-streamed via a link on the Facebook page below.
The speakers on the panel are Astrid Vella, Dr Konrad Xuereb, Prof. Alex Torpiano and Joseph Gauci, who come from different backgrounds of expertise.
The discussion will revolve around how the country can make fruitful and positive use of the high amount of expenditure dedicated to building.
