Music and Canterbury
Continuing a series of programmes dedicated to the music of Britain, presented by Catherine Bott.
Music and Canterbury
As the pilgrims of Chaucer's tales made their way to Canterbury, music came up a great deal in their conversation. In fact, Chaucer's narrative gives us a fascinating insight into the place of music in society at that time.
Their destination, the great cathedral at Canterbury, was itself a focus for music of a quite different kind.
