Wonderful to receive academic recognition for boethius.mus.cam.ac.uk/ ! Many thanks to all who helped to build the site @CamUniMusic @CamDigHum and to #Sequentia for adding their expertise. New discoveries coming soon!
We've just added five new resources to the Medieval Academy Database of Medieval Digital Resources, our discoverable collection of vetted #OA resources for Medieval Studies! mdr-maa.org
Delighted that my article on reconstructing songs from Boethius' On the Consolation of Philosophy is now out in The Journal of Musicology and hoping it will inspire others. Read all about it and let me know: boethius.mus.cam.ac.uk/news/…
Wonderful to see #SongsofConsolation with #Sequentia named as one of #ALLMUSIC's albums of 2018. #Boethius still topping the charts some 1000 years on allmusic.com/year-in-review/…
Thank you for reading! Beloved and and still thought-provoking 60 years on.
