EARLY MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS SLU SENIOR'S RECITAL 

CANTON – Rachel Peterson, a St. Lawrence University senior from King 
of Prussia, Pennsylvania, will perform in a recital on Sunday, March 
28, at 2 p.m. in Gunnison Memorial Chapel that brings together French 
and philosophy (her major fields of study), European studies (her minor 
field of study) and early music, one of her great interests. The event 
is open to the public, free of charge.
	"Songs of Guillaume DuFay" is the theme of the recital, which 
features soprano Peterson with an ensemble of campus musicians. Peterson 
has performed with the Early Music Ensemble (Players and Singers) on 
campus since her first year, and studied in the University's program in 
Rouen, France, in 2002. 
	DuFay (1400-1474) was a Renaissance composer who wrote church music 
and numerous court songs for both voices and instruments. He is considered 
by many to be the greatest composer of the 15th century. 
	Peterson is also a member of the String Ensemble at St. Lawrence, 
and the Singing Sinners, a women's a cappella group. She is also a member 
of Chi Omega sorority and Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership 
honorary.
