The performance is intended to capture the spirit of the original poem as closely as possible, and to utilize instruments and techniques that would have been common to bards (or scops) of the time that it was composed. Through meticulous research and reconstruction, Bagby creates an experience similar to that possibly known to audiences centuries ago.
The performance will take place at Carnegie Hall as part of a two-part program along with the Harry Partch Institute Ensemble's performance of The Wayward. Make sure to visit the Student Ticket page for discounts!
If you can't make it out to New York this week, here's a clip of one of Bagby's live performances:
