# Event Details - **Event Name**: Early Music by Candlelight at the Lost Village Dode - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 09 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 09 Nov, 2025 at 05:30 pm - **Event Description**: Travel back in time with the Nocturnalia trio (violin, cello & harpsichord) performing early music from the 1600's by candlelight at Dode.About this EventTravel back in time with the Nocturnalia ensemble. The Violin, Cello and Harpsichord trio will perform early music from the 1600’s in the unique candlelit setting of The Lost Village of Dode.https://youtu.be/Ja9fKf2EgUoNocturnalia Ensemble is composed of three young performers (Mojca Jerman on the violin, Pablo Tejedor-Gutiérrez on the cello/gamba and Alex Mastichiadis on historical keyboards) who look to offer fresh and innovative concerts to its audiences, capable of awakening in the listeners the different emotions and feelings that 17th and 18th-century composers tried to express in their music.Nocturnalia believes that Early Music is tremendously contemporary, given the degree of freedom that offers to performers, and the unparalleled creativity that improvisation and ornamentation create. Our unique personal and musical connection reflects our European origins, embracing concepts from our respective languages that define us: Šarovít (colorful and picturesque), Duende (the creative struggle to create deep art forms), and Μεράκι (to do something with soul).As an ensemble, Nocturnalia was born while playing night sessions of music by Mozart and Schmelzer in the Romanesque Abbey of Ambronay during the summer of 2021, while its members met in the context of the EEEmerging+ European Academy. However, Nocturnalia first concert took place some time later, in January 2023 in Athens at the Music Hub Conservatory. After this first public performance, other invitations followed to perform the programme Wit and Mirth, on English 17th-century folk and elite music, at the Utrecht Oude Muziek festival (Theaterhuis de Berenkuil) and the Contratemps Festival (Sant Cugat, near Barcelona). https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/08d6e8b0-b0d5-11f0-abc6-7f2c0bb94a33-rimg-w988-h740-dc481812-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/great-buckland/early-music-by-candlelight-at-the-lost-village-dode/100001829745551199 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, performances, candlelight-concerts, concerts, festivals, art, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Great Buckland - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Lost Village of Dode - **lat**: 51.34918829999999 - **long**: 0.39455899999995836 - **full address**: The Lost Village of Dode, Wrangling Lane, Great Buckland, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Early Music by Candlelight at the Lost Village Dode - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d3ed82e3be5177d8e12c661bb3b9b7bb943240beef85bc88706ac083f418a040-rimg-w1200-h844-dc5e7a7b-gmir.jpg?v=1761308953 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Early Music by Candlelight at the Lost Village Dode being held? - **A:** Early Music by Candlelight at the Lost Village Dode takes place on Sun, 09 Nov, 2025 at 04:00 pm to Sun, 09 Nov, 2025 at 05:30 pm at The Lost Village of Dode, Wrangling Lane, Great Buckland, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Early Music by Candlelight at the Lost Village Dode? - **A:** Tickets for Early Music by Candlelight at the Lost Village Dode are priced at GBP 25 per person.

As you sit beneath the sturdy Oak roof, you sit where almost exactly 650 years ago the Villagers prayed for their loved ones as the Black Death swept England. You are in their space within the four walls which they knew.Dode is more than an ancient building, for it is a far older place than perhaps we can imagine, it’s beginnings go back into the mist of time. If you walk into the meadow surrounding the building you will see that it is build on a substantial mound which is man-made. The hill which totally surrounds and shelters the building has been known from time immemorial as Holly Hill and it is approached by a narrow roadway which goes nowhere, its ancient name is Wrangling Lane. Here then are the clues to a site of deep antiquity, for Holly Hill is a corruption of Holy Hill and the name Wrangling Lane indicates that here on this mound may well be the site of a Moot or Meeting Place perhaps going back thousands of years.Archaeological evidence confirms occupation of the site during the Roman period and on a still night when the moon is full it is not difficult to imagine pre-Christian rites in this secluded Valley where real harmony with nature still exists, Dode is indeed a place of myth and legend.The mound stands at the end of a ley-line which stretches to the east for some 10 miles, exactly upon this line stands three Pre-Reformation Churches, two Roman sites, a Bronze Age Burial Ground and two of the Medway Megaliths, the Coffin Stone and enigmatic Little Kits Coty.Ancient stones are also to be found on the ley-line including a substantial Sarsen now buried within the fabric of the building itself. This truly is an ancient place, steeped in history which is needed as much today as it was in the distant past, and perhaps more.The Village of Dode was destroyed in 1349 as a result of the Black Death and shortly afterwards the building was abandoned, it was not to be used for regular worship again. If you have read the last few lines quickly, please re-read them, and think exactly what they mean. To help, visualize that the last Masses were said and that the Building had been silent and sleeping for almost 150 years before Columbus discovered America. Indeed it was to remain asleep until 1901 when it was purchased by a local antiquary who restored it at his own expense, thereafter it gradually began to wake up and for over a hundred years occasional use was made of the building although it is still very much a silent place.Today Dode is in private ownership and after an almost unimaginable time span, regular use is again made of the building. To celebrate the millennium a beautiful retreat building was constructed in English Oak – a place of solitude and peace for those wishing to escape the world for a few days or indeed celebrate their wedding.Responding to requests from many couples to be married at Dode, some 18 years ago it was licensed as a Civil Wedding Venue, a use which continues. Baby naming’s, Renewals of Vows and Memorial Services are also a feature of this sacred place. The basic simplicity of the building, which has always been Dode’s abiding strength, will however remain unaltered. Light will only be provided by candles and braziers, and straw and autumn leaves scented with herbs will always cover the floor.The 12th Century seating – still in place – around the walls will continue to be used and to provide a reminder of the circle of our forefathers who once gathered here to celebrate important times in their lives, long before any building occupied this special place.Dode has been loved and cared for the last 28 years by Douglas & Mary Chapman" } ] } ] ```
