The Early Music Show - Boethius's 'The Consolation of Philosophy' in music

Download Boethius's 'The Consolation of Philosophy' in music

Lucie Skeaping talks to Dr Sam Barrett and Benjamin Bagby about Sequentia’s project to reconstruct songs from Boethius’ seminal work, “The Consolation of Philosophy” - one of the most widely read books of the Middle Ages. It’s a fascinating piece of research, musical detective work, detailed reconstruction... and some imagination too!
