The Canterbury Tales - Prologue
from Musical Poetry · host Michael Appelt
In this episode of Musical Poetry, we travel back to 14th-century England and step into the world of Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales — one of the greatest journeys ever written in the English language.The episode begins with a brief reflection on the Prologued, a living tapestry of medieval society, where knights, friars, merchants, and storytellers share the same road toward Canterbury. Then, something unexpected happens:a soul band from the 1970s is accidentally sent back in time and commanded by the king himself to perform Chaucer’s Prologue.What follows is a playful fusion of centuries, a rhythm-filled recitation of Middle English poetry, alive with groove, fire, and imagination.
