Mission Chant c. 1936

"Mission Chant" is a three-part composition created by Ann Gene Buckley around 1936. This work, rendered in black ink and red wash, features handwritten sheet music in a gothic style. Each section of the piece is framed in gold with a red square containing an ornate motif at the top, which is often a common feature in medieval illuminated manuscripts. The work, written in Latin, demonstrates the use of musical notation in a unique artistic format, making it a fascinating example of late 20th-century calligraphy.
