Friday 28th March is the feast of Saint Tutilo, perhaps best known for his musical talents. According to tradition, he was an accomplished musician and was able to play and teach all of the instruments in the monastery. He, and a fellow monk, Bd. Notker Balbulus, are said to have written several Alleluia versicles as well as many sequences.
Unfortunately he's been dead since the tenth century, so we won't be selling tickets for any of his performances. How about one of these instead?
