MUSIC THROUGH THE AGES: Carlos Andres Botero (center), an Eastern Michigan University graduate student from the department of music and dance, performs selected "villancicos" or Spanish madrigals from the 16th to 18th centuries during the recent Graduate Research Fair, which took place in the Student Center. Botero transcribed the villancicos from microfilm of a large manuscript from the Guatemala City Cathedral. Botero transcribed the handwritten parts into a modern computer music notation for choir and chamber ensembles.
