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
