Dark ages? We don't think so. Middle ages? Maybe. Either way, we're excited for another historical episode, something we haven't done in quite a while! Today is all about the Medieval era, a fascinating time for all the arts, so why wouldn't we take the time to chat about it? In fact, it's such a gargantuan era, that we are going to take two episodes to shine some light into this purported "Dark Age!" Get some mead and mutton (or cider and tofutton for any vegan listeners), and join us as we fascinate ourselves over the Medieval era of art and music! 

Art: 

Good Shepherd from the Catacomb of Priscilla (250-300)

Emperor Justinian and his members of the Court (c. 500s)

Music: 

"Haec Dies" Gradual from the Easter Mass
