    Welcome, friends, to our second ranking episode! Speaking of friends, it’s back to St. Gall for to meet Notker’s bestest buddy in the whole Universe, Tuotilo! Join us as we put their friendship to the ultimate test to find out who’s the real maestro of St. Gall! With special cameos by some of America’s most beloved politicians and a random shot of UK drill rap thrown in for good measure, the zaniness is fully on tap this time ‘round! Plus, there’s a leprechaun.

In this prefatory episode you will learn the critical information you need to approach classical music on its own terms. In this first segment you will discover:


    1. The four reasons you’re hearing classical music wrong, and how to fix them!

    2. The exact roadmap for Season 1

    3. The final steps in the birth of Gregorian chant, and

    4. Just what do Nargaroth and Black Sabbath have in common with Mozart and Beethoven?


    This is all key information for the road ahead, so don’t fall asleep on it!

    0d(2.2) From Convergence To Liturgence: The Birth of Western Classical Music Part 2.2 - Early Christian Chant
    Jul 1 2024

    Hello, and welcome to our FINAL BACKGROUND EPISODE! Now brace yourself for a veritable tidal wave of musical knowledge as we trace the origins and development of Christian chant through the better part of the 1st millennium CE. This episode is absolutely jam packed with hard-to-find information and positively GORGEOUS music from half a dozen early chant traditions. Along the way, we will encounter young lectors who competed against pagan singers, alongside incredible early music theorists (Thanks Alypios!) and a veritable who's who of early medieval bigwigs, and a shady antiquities dealer known only as "Two Time Slim."

    0d(2.1) From Convergence To Liturgence: The Birth of Western Classical Music Part 2.1 - Music In Ancient Rome
    Jun 8 2024

    The first half of our final background episode comprises an all too brisk survey of some of the most interesting musical contributions of ancient Rome. Find out how the Romans REALLY felt about music and learn why, as Polybius once said, custom is always king. Oh! And we have emperor Nero's ACTUAL singing practice routine! That alone is worth the $0 cost of admission (I mean it's worth more than that, but you're getting it for free anyway because we're such a swell pair of guys). Enjoy!

    0d(1) From Convergence To Liturgence: The Birth of Western Classical Music Part 1 - The Parent Strains
    May 5 2024
    Western Classical Music: Where did it come from and how did it "get that way?" We think we can answer the first question in two episodes, but the second one... well, you could build an entire show around that! Today, we trace the origins of WCM from the earliest notated fragments in the world to the first named composers in history. Join us as we overturn the claim that "Not a note of music has survived from the ancient world," and find out what deck-sanding and kosher lunch meats have in common (the answer will shock you!) CAVEAT 1: Correction: "Alexanders successors," not "Alexander's descendants" CAVEAT 2: Greek persecution of the Jews was almost exclusively under Antiochus IV, but it was severe. CAVEAT 3: The musical setting for the hymn to Caliope and Zeus stretches credibility. I mean, it does kinda sound like "Hush, Little Baby," doesn't it? The language is ancient though and, like we've said, the ancients are always surprising us. ;-) ==================== EARLY NOTATION LINKS What do we know about the oldest found melody? - Music: Practice & Theory Stack Exchange https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/91048/what-do-we-know-about-the-oldest-found-melody The World's Oldest Surviving Music from circa 1950 BC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAPC1tG2BKY&themeRefresh=1 (PDF) A Musical and Mathematical Context for CBS 1766 | leon crickmore - Academia.edu https://www.academia.edu/1618638/A_Musical_and_Mathematical_Context_for_CBS_1766 The Oldest Known Melody (Hurrian Hymn no.6 - c.1400 B.C.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpxN2VXPMLc&themeRefresh=1 History's Oldest Song Modernized for 2020 (Samurai Guitarist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHGB8dS1OsI&themeRefresh=1 =========================== ANCIENT HEBREW MUSIC LINKS The Origins of the Israelites: Episode 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_ao1i7LokM&list=PLuFO87ncQ_QQMmujr06QeRwMZC3goRd0n&index=6 The Pagan Origins of Judaism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZECezMYug8c&list=PLuFO87ncQ_QQMmujr06QeRwMZC3goRd0n&index=4&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB What Music might Moses have heard as a Child in Egypt? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At7jUZquUc0 King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiA86HI-GLU&list=PLuFO87ncQ_QQMmujr06QeRwMZC3goRd0n&index=12 Jerusalem Shofar at Sunrise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKQrBURDtQE The Sound of the Shofar calls us to worship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHQdKLbTXw The original musical notes found in the Old Testament, played right before your eyes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh2KwEwaroc&list=PLuFO87ncQ_QQMmujr06QeRwMZC3goRd0n&index=19 The Original 3000 Year Old Melody of the Psalm 19 - Revealed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M86lEfmVsEY&t=30s Chanticleer - Psalms 23:1-6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOZ3SjHIUzw Lost Melodies - Hebrew Chanting - Psalm 95 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEfF8fr5stY Choral singing in ancient Israel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06rIvIBoNfM Trio Mandili - Psalm 50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcbKoY7XpJE Mendelssohn: Variations Concertantes, Op. 17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiocuaABrWc ========================== ANCIENT GREEK MUSIC LINKS "Minoan" Lyre - Improvisation by Claudio Quadros https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0GzWKUQAJU Minoan Theater - The Minoan Experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe_RsPWIOro&t=6s Ancient Minoan Civilization ("Creep" by Radiohead) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz3d5x-MUT4 Hymn to Zeus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc109u7Zw8M&list=PLE619C0863B707DDD&index=4 Ancient Lyre - Kleopas : Hymn to muse Kalliope and Apollo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Hpyov3Tt8 Rediscovering Ancient Greek Music: A performance reconstructs the past https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAmuQBnNty8&list=PLuFO87ncQ_QQMmujr06QeRwMZC3goRd0n&index=29 Cithara of the Golden Age - Michael Levy - Luthieros Music instruments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t1itGJ8Zpc Ancient Lyre - Barbiton Lyre of Sappho - Barbiton Lyre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWLRqI9iM-E Roman water organ performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US50QmZaeyE Eminem straight up reciting the iliad of homer in ancient greek (video by @GavMac39) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ubSwbyd0uI KANUN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-Xvzi2YAM Musique de la Grèce antique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1z0zaGDzlQ The Euripides Orestes Chorus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c2Ho9NvWY8

    0c(1.3) From Emergence To Convergence Part 1.3 - Music In Ancient Egypt
    Mar 24 2024

    Ancient Egyptians just loved to Egypt. And you know who else does? YOU! I mean, that's why you're here, right?


    Join us for the third segment of episode 0c(1) to uncover such timeless truths as: Which scales did the ancient Egyptians use and was there a master scale as per ancient Sumer? Why did ancient Egyptians REALLY start calling their kings Pharaohs? And who were the four female Hemet-Neter who co-wrote the one surviving work of popular music that comes down to us from these times (we think...)?


    CAVEAT 1: Still audible chop-suey with the edit points, BUT we have finally fixed this as of episode 0d(2.2)!


    CAVEAT 2: Michael Atherton & Peter Pringle = Independent scholars, NOT amateur ones!!! Sorry, guys. We love you both!


    CAVEAT 3: There is only one trumpet in the first example. The stereo sample I was working with had some right channel lag, so sounded like overlapping trumpets. Ah, tech shenanigans.
