In our introduction, we mention acoustic archaeology project led by Stanford Art Historian Bissera Pentcheva, which we discovered through the New York Times article "How a Historian Stuffed Hagia Sophia's Sound Into a Studio." The sound clip we feature is from the 'Asmatikon Cherubic Hymn' performed by the Cappella Romana, who you can find on Spotify.
