Notes
- There's a ton written about Emma Rowena Gatewood but so much of it, including this story, owes a huge debt to Ben Montgomery's book, Grandma Gatewood's Walk, which excavated the story of her life with her husband. Besides that, it is wonderfully written. Totally recommend it.
Everything Everywhere Daily - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the 1812 Overture (Encore)
In 1880, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was commissioned to compose a work in honor of the completion of a new cathedral.
What he wrote became one of the best-known, over-the-top, and difficult-to-produce pieces of music in history. Despite its popularity almost 150 years later, the composer actually thought it was one of his worst works.
Learn more about the 1812 Overture, how it was created, and just how crazy it actually is to properly perform, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Caesar, Pompey, Crassus: The First Triumvirate (Encore)
In the year 60 BC, a very unlikely alliance was formed between three of Rome’s most powerful men.
Gaius Julius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, and Marcus Licinius Crassus agreed to put aside their differences for mutual gain.
For many years the alliance worked, and the three men were able to run the Roman Republic….until it eventually fell apart.
