We've Got The Beat - S01 EP13

Show Notes:
Hosts: Peter Holmes & Rian Galliott
Guest: Tara Veness

Links & References:
Regarding Vatican II and music, Tara was correct (and Peter wrong). The Second Vatican Council does indeed address music in the mass.
The document Sacrosanctum Concilium, (112-121) addresses music in public worship.

It also refers to the document Musicam Sacram.

The “millennial whoop” is a commonly used trill that sticks in our minds.

Peter also referred to The Grand Conjuration by Opeth (which he incorrectly named “the Conjuring”).
Tara mentioned Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Various compositions of his can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6s1pCNXcbdtQJlsnM1hRIA?si=8IYQALncS7ODP8qSfvd9ZQ
