Ear Worms 015 - Monty Python and the Holy Grail of Medieval instruments Part 1 of 3

The medieval period, also known as the dark ages and the middle ages, is generally looked upon historically as a rather dark and foreboding period. There were some pretty interesting musical innovations, such as the beginning of written music in the Western hemisphere, as well as many beautiful instruments. In this episode, we will be having a jousting tournament between these different instruments in which the chat will be able to vote and choose their favorite instruments. We are in the search of the holy grail of medieval instruments after all. To guide us on our quest, we will also learn from the the great film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Like a beacon of light, it will guide us in our quest.
