This illustrated account of all aspects of the music of ancient Greece includes actual transcriptions of the surviving examples of ancient music, complete with musical analysis, and covers a whole range of topics - from the place of music in Greek life to instruments; scales; and ancient theories of music.
Ancient Greece was permeated by music, and the literature teems with musical allusions. For most readers the subject has remained a closed book. Here at last is a clear, comprehensive account that presupposes no special knowledge of music. Topics covered include the place of music in Greek life; instruments; rhythm; tempo; modes and scales; melodic construction; form; ancient theory and notation; and historical development. Thirty surviving examples of Greek music are presented in modern transcription with analysis, and the book is fully illustrated. A brief Epilogue sets Greek music in the wider context in a border zone between Afro-Asiatic and European culture.
