This week, we start out with a spellbinding round of Classical Chronology focused on that deadly medieval tune, the Dies Irae. Hear more about that on the Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast.

Then we head down to the lab for a dissection of Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre.

Then a free-flowing conversation with author, vlogger, and deathfluencer Caitlin Doughty about Haydn’s head, Lully’s foot, and a composer who came back from the dead to write his 9th symphony.

Caitlin's video on Haydn's head
