Rune

Tues 18 Mar View Venues, Dates & Times

Dedicated to an exploration of music from the Middle Ages, the recently established Rune here take their inspiration from Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron. 

Written in the mid-14th century, the book tells the story of a group of friends - sequestered in a rural villa as the Black Death ravages the nearby city of Florence - who keep one another entertained by telling a host of inspiring tales.  

Rune’s mid-month Leamington Music concert is a mosaic of musical stories from early modern Europe, featuring works by Landini, de Vitry, Dunstable, Binchois and Machaut. Threaded with medieval music from more distant times and locations, the programme is reminiscent of the way in which Boccaccio weaved together tales from such faraway places as India and the Middle East.
