Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Pitch and the Measurement of Intervals Among the Ancient Greeks Tive matter, but actual plans of temples, dwelllngs, and soforth. In proportlon as these plans were perfect, we should be ln a pos1tlon at any moment to construct more or less accu rate representatlons of these ancient buildlngs or even to make a 11fe-smze restoration. In such a case an01ent arch1 tecture would be ln a cond1tion, so far as our appreclatlon of 1t ls concerned, analogous to that ln wh1ch anclent mus1c now flnds itself. We have admlrable theoretlcal treatlses and we have also a few 1ncomplete plans and speclflcatlons; for what 1s a mu31cal score but a draw1ng or a ground plan of the mu81cal structure? To reproduce 1t, all that IS needed 1s a knowledge of the symbols employed ln the speclflcatlons and the means to interpret them accordlng to the conventlons there used.

Download or read book Ancient Greek Music written by Stefan Hagel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-17 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book endeavours to pinpoint the relations between musical, and especially instrumental, practice and the evolving conceptions of pitch systems. It traces the development of ancient melodic notation from reconstructed origins, through various adaptations necessitated by changing musical styles and newly invented instruments, to its final canonical form. It thus emerges how closely ancient harmonic theory depended on the culturally dominant instruments, the lyre and the aulos. These threads are followed down to late antiquity, when details recorded by Ptolemy permit an exceptionally clear view. Dr Hagel discusses the textual and pictorial evidence, introducing mathematical approaches wherever feasible, but also contributes to the interpretation of instruments in the archaeological record and occasionally is able to outline the general features of instruments not directly attested. The book will be indispensable to all those interested in Greek music, technology and performance culture and the general history of musicology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modes of Ancient Greek Music The present essay is the sequel of an article on Greek music which the author contributed to the new edition of Smiths Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (London, 1890-91, art. Musica). In that article the long-standing controversy regarding the nature of the ancient musical Modes was briefly noticed, and some reasons were given for dissenting from the views maintained by Westphal, and now very generally accepted. A full discussion of the subject would have taken up more space than was then at the author's disposal, and he accordingly proposed to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press to treat the question in a separate form. He has now to thank them for undertaking the publication of a work which is necessarily addressed to a very limited circle. The progress of the work has been more than once delayed by the accession of materials. Much of it was written before the author had the opportunity of studying two very interesting documents first made known in the course of last year in the Bulletin de correspondance hellenique and the Philologus, viz.
