Advent 2023: Ten Pipers Piping
In their third Advent 2023 mini-episode, Martin and Eleanor add a honk to their gronk and make a ruckus with Ten Pipers Piping!
After discussing how pipes predate writing, with the earliest known example carved from a bear's thigh over 60,000 years ago, we dig into the links between shepherds, pipes, and lyric poetry, discuss the Medieval shawm and the innovations it brought to early music, and retell two ancient myths about the invention of the pipe: "The Legend of Pan and Syrinx" and "The Tale of Marsyas the Faun."
