The Catholic Culture Podcast: 98 – An Anglo-Saxon Bard


Feb 21, 2021

Famous for his chanted performances of Beowulf in the original
Old English, Benjamin Bagby is the closest thing you’ll find today
to an Anglo-Saxon bard. Bagby joins the show to describe how he
reconstructed Beowulf as a sung tale, giving a demonstration of his
Anglo-Saxon harp which is modeled on harps found in burial sites
from over a millennium ago. He also discusses the recordings of the
complete works of St. Hildegard of Bingen made by his ensemble,
Sequentia.

All music and video by Bagby and Sequentia used
