Music of Ancient Rome and Greece

[Sergey Lenkov]

Well, it`s great that we would (I hope) hear Musica Romana with hydraulis .
As to booklet - even summary in English would be helpful, if your CD would get the listener outside German-speaking world.
Yes, I see that difficulties in distributing. But I wonder:
if CD by Paniagua in last decades is reprinted and reprinted without any advertisment - and I think that people are buying this CD because they simply didn`t know of other authentic records of Ancient World music.
So you could defend your position - buyers of Atrium Musicae De Madrid and Synaulia are your potential buyers and if their records distributed worldwide and via Amazons - why it couldn`t be yours? Demand for this kind of music exists.
Your advertisement is the title of your CD.

I don't know if somebody else has provided the following link to a websire called BIBLIOTHECA AUGUSTANA. There you can find lots of info on ancient Greek and Latin music ( http://www.fh-augsburg.de/%7Eharsch/augustana.html ), inluding the famous Song of Seikilos (dated in between 200 BC to 100 AD) ([url:3g3kee3i]http://www.fh-augsburg.de/%7Eharsch/graeca/Chronologia/S_ante01/Seikilos/sei_carm.mp3[/url])

[Susanna]

Thank you for the link. That is a great website with lots of resource.

Wow, they play it fast ;-) )

Prof. Pöhlmann dates Seikilos to 1-2 cent. AD.

[Ioannis]

You're most welcome Susanna!

I heard the CD's, but they sing in Greek, I was hoping Latin..

Gioi! hock: Since when would you be disappointed when you hear Greek, not Latin? :twisted:

[Susanna]

Greek or Latin...also Greek was very common for the high class of the Roman Empire. Especially for well educated people in arts who could notate their music, luckily. ;-) )

We all talk English and come from different countries, musical charts today are also most in English...so was Greek in ancient Rome.

P.S. The "Nevel Harpa" which you can buy here: www.folkfriends.de
the strings are Nylon, so the sound much differs from original. :wink:
an ancient lyre had only 7 strings and was played with a plectrum ;-) )

The first complete piece of written music in Mesopotamien (as he wrote down), dates 1400 BC and is called "The Hymn of Ugarit", first reconstructed by Anne Kilmer. hock:
And it is more or less complete...he plays another reconstruction (I forgot the name of the guy).

he lacks a little in metric and speed and does not sing...

:twisted:



Thank you for the link,
