Our generous and talented musicians have been at it again, composing a custom piece to run at the end of each "Justinian and Theodora" episode. Trouble is, they gave us two versions, and we like them both so much we can't decide! Listen to both versions: https://clyp.it/iaysrtfz Tell us which one you prefer: http://bit.ly/1cyGchl Want to help us out? We'd love to hear what you think! (And yes, they are pretty similar, but they're not the same.)

I might be the first to vote so yay. Second seems to flow better.

Question: Is everyone getting the second song played first?

Version one works more for me. It gave me the back of my neck tinglies, so it wins. :P

It played the first version for me. I was on my cell phone when I listen maybe that made a difference? The second version kinds seems more appropriate for the senkoku Jidai I liked the first better because it seems to fit just a tad better and reminiscent of being in a cathedral

I voted 1, but can't actually here any diffrence :/

I'm definitely not sure about this, maybe someone with more knowledge of Music History can correct me, but I think the violin instrument in both tracks would not have existed in Justinian's time? The tracks are very pretty though and I'm not a purist :)

Personally I like the first one a little bit better, but I am wondering why you can't use both? Use version one in the first episode, then version two in the second, and swap them back and forth. Just wondering.

Version one has a bit more complexity at about 3/4 through. Version two is pretty much steady throughout. That's why I like version 1 better than version 2. it builds up to that climax before it ends.

Not much difference that I can tell, but there's just something about the second that I prefer but I couldn't say why (And, yes, I did manually listen to Version 1 first. Actually I needed to listen to both twice to figure out for sure)

Fiddles/Violins originated in the 10th Century, derived from the Byzantine Lyra. Not sure when that started to be used, thought he earliest known reference to it was, I believe, 9th Century CE, but I'm unaware of any records of the exact origins of the Byzantine Lyra - The references for the 9th Century CE indicate it was in fairly common usage within the Byzantine empire at the time. So... Violins are anacronistic, yes, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility that an instrument similar to the Violin would have been available in the 5th and 6th Century CE, contemporary to Justinian I. The main difference seems to be that the Byzantine Lyra was a five stringed instrument rather than the four of a violin, and there may be a difference in shape as well. (But that's based on about five minutes of research, I'm hoping we get a segment of lies dedicated to the accuracy of the use of a violin in the music to clarify this stuff - It's an interesting topic, the history of musical instruments, but one that's often overlooked by 'serious' history and, I think, even music history, which seems to tend to be more focused on composers and stylistic evolutions rather than the evolutions of the equipment used to make the music)

Playing it on your phone!? Man, I've really got to start checking my mix on phone speakers haha

While I love Katherine's suggestion if I have to choose just one I prefer the second version.

I voted 1. I prefer 2, but its instrumental performance sounds, to me, too joyful for Justinian Catholics.

I like #Version2 best. I think it has a better flow, but both seems good.

If they were thematically very different, and struck a different tone or emotional mood, then I'd consider it because in that case switching the music would be a way to say "hey, something different happened in this episode." But since these are so very similar, I think using both of them would come off more as indecisive, and that's not what we're going for as creators!

Version one, for me, seemed to be of a more constant intensity. It changes, but doesn't surge and ebb. Version two seemed to increase in intensity as it built. Given that you usually slowly fade in the outro music as you wrap up the narrative, my vote goes to version two, as the slow build might fit with the fade into the credits portion of the episode. Or at least, that's my thinking on it.

I personally am really digging the second version, but I like both so either one will be good.

Version 2 works better for me.
