Roman Musical Notation

[richsc]

Up until this evening I had thought that all Roman musical notation was lost and unknown. Apparently, William Johnson of the Univ of Cincinnati has interpreted papyrus and has demonstrations of the music, which is in a diatonic scale arranged in tetrachords. He has a forthcoming book on this, hopefully with a CD in it! Unfortunately he does not give the date for the papyrus, but he does write out the notation with the sample music.<br>
