Restoring Lost Songs: Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy

 

Medieval music ensemble Sequentia collaborates with noted scholars to reconstruct Classical texts by pagan authors Horace, Terence, Homer and others, sung in European monastic centers between the 9th and 12th centuries. The deeply moving poems from Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy will also be featured in reconstructions by director Benjamin Bagby and musicologist Sam Barrett of Cambridge University.
