Hello Honorable Historians

[richsc]

Salve Morgantina and welcome to RAT. I dont' think there are any known examples of military music for Rome or Greece, other than that the instruments are known and, due to reconstructions, what they sound like. What music they used is unknown. More seems to be written about Greek music (there are several books on the subject) and little about Roman music, although there may be some examples of Roman musical notation on papyrus.<br>
<br>
As to civilian music, there are several groups that have CD's out of their recreations of Roman music.<br>
<br>
Ludi Scaenici www.geocities.com/Vienna/...udeng.html<br>
Tanzmeisterin Suzanne www.tanzmeisterin.de/<br>
Roman Provincial www.ancestral.co.uk/romanmusic.htm<br>
<br>
and there are several others.<br>
<br>
As to books, you could look at this one:<br>
<br>
"Music in Ancient Greece and Rome"<br>
by John G. Landels<br>
<br>
A search on 'roman music' at amazon also turns up several books, out of print, in French, German and Italian. <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX<br>
