The University of Kansas Collegium Musicum will take its audience back in time Sunday afternoon in a performance that combines the works of John Lennon, English music and before 1800.
"The audience will hear a program much like the people in that period of history, the medieval and Renaissance era, would have heard it," Director David Ellender, assistant instructor in music history, said Tuesday.
The performance will be at 3 p.m. in Sooner Art Museum.
The Collegium Musicum performs period music on period instruments, specializing in the performance of music before 1750 as authentically as possible.

language of the period, will accompany the writings in Old English and Elizabethan literature.
The 18-member Collegium, which includes a 6-member chair, will use recorders, flute-like instruments from the Renaissance and Baroque era; viola de gambas, predecessors of the violin which are played on the knee; and harpsichords, wire-stretched instruments shaped like pianos.
"These instruments are characteristic of Old English music." Eliender said.
an other performances, the Collegeium has used crumbborn; doublecapped, doubleeared instruments; Renaissance flutes; lutes and guitars.
The instruments used are replicas and museum copies of the originals, Ellender said, which are owned either by the University or by the performers.
Sunday's program will feature music and literature of England from the time of the Anglo-Saxons to that of Shakespeare, he said.
The program includes: two of Chaucer's works, "Trollous Song," from "Trollus and Criseide," and a song from the "Miller's Tale" in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales;" "A Rosa Bella" and "Alma Redempitorter Matey," by John Dunstable; "If Love Now Regiene, and hastin III," Good Com- munity and hastin III; "The Spectacle" (Act V, Scene 3); by Shakespeare; and "A Lover and His Less" and "Sing We and Chant II" by Thomas Morley.
Rundgren does it all
Elenderd said the Collegeg had been organized 21 years ago as a music history workshop, in which students studied ancient music and instruments but didn't perform. Gradually, he said, the group has begun to perform what they studied.

Rundern is expected to showcase the group's latest album, "Another Live," released several weeks ago. The album includes some live sets and new material.
The 27-year-old musician, out of Philadelphia, started his career in the mid-1960s with a band called Nazz. Later, he decided to break out on his own and achieved his first critical success with the album "Runt."
Runderg has since led a multifaceted career. His music has ranged from love ballads to heavy New York City metal to synthesized control of sound. He also has worked as a producer. In addition to recording and mixing his own albums, Randerg has produced albums by The Rocky Mountain Funk Ralcald and the New York Dolls.
His music has followed an erratic path through progressive rock and the top 40. Some of his most recognized singles include "Hello, It's Me" and "Real Man." This almost schizophrenic split appears most often on the albums' most celebrated album, "A Wizard - A True Star."
Rundeng formed Utopia when he recorded his album of the same name about a year ago. The band comprises John Siegel, electric bass; Roger Powell, synthesizer; Ralph Shuckett and Moogy Klingman, both on keyboards; and the only new member of the group, drummer John Wilcox.
