My parents have had it on the wall for as long as I can remember, wondering if it’s original or a reproduction.
From my limited knowledge I know that;

1- the paint is authentic, definitely not a print, as it is raised, and as shown on the second slide is flaking.

2- It’s in latin and possibly a Gregorian chant? Still learning about this four line writing and how to read it but I’m getting there.

3- vellum? maybe?

If anyone has info on what exactly we’re looking at here please share, my art history major friend believes it is unoriginal but even so I would be curious to know when a reproduction would be made with so much care as this. most are just prints on some fancy paper, no? I hope I’ve come to the right place!

This is the week I have to decide which college to attend to pursue degrees in euphonium performance and composition, and I am leaning towards UNT.

My other options are Baylor, and a few schools in the state where I’m from (WI).

I know pretty much all there is to know about my specific studio, but I am still missing some broader perspective.

If you are a current student, graduate, or even prof, please share your opinions and experiences with school of music! Pros and cons, things you dont like, things you didn’t expect, your favorite things, etc.. I’m really just trying to get as much information as I can so I can make as educated a decision as possible.

and of course feel free to ask me questions as well!

Thank you :)

Any info on this leaf?
