Music of Ancient Rome and Greece

[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:
