Blondel
Cover Story

Saturday 26th, 12pm, Marlborough Road Methodist Church, OX16 5BZ

Works by Machaut, Dufay, Morton, Bedyngham, Josquin, Obrecht, Paumann and more, Cover Story tracks connections between people, places, texts and music. It follows the spread of popular late medieval melodies across Europe, as they are copied, repurposed, and evolved over many decades. What makes a song leap across national boundaries and language barriers, slip from the secular to the ecclesiastic, and remain at the top of the charts for more than 70 years? We don’t have the formula, but we know why these pieces wedged themselves into the cultural background of medieval Europe. The music is fabulous, and audiences today love it too.
