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."
