ALL -
THE MUSIC OF ANCIENT GREECE WAS ALMOST UNIVERSALLY PRESENT IN ANCIENT GREEK SOCIETY, FROM MARRIAGES, FUNERALS, AND RELIGIOUS TIDRICKS AND MONSTER CHARIOT RACES, TO THEATRE, FOLK MUSIC, AND THE AS A POETIC ACCOMPANYMENT - SOUNDS LIKE A SONG TO ME!
THE WORD MUSIC COMES FROM THE MUSES, THE DAUGHTERS OF ZEUS AND PATRON, THEY WERE THE GODDESSES OF CREATIVE AND INTELLECTUAL ENDEAVOURS.
THE HISTORY OF MUSIC IN ANCIENT GREECE IS SO CLOSELY INTERWOVEN WITH GREEK MYTHOLOGY AND LEGEND THAT IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO SURMISE WHAT IS HISTORICALLY TRUE AND WHAT IS MYTH. THE MUSIC AND MUSIC THEORY OF ANCIENT GREECE LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR WESTERN MUSIC AND WESTERN MUSIC THEORY, AND, AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT ZEUS LAID EVERYTHING ELSE. WELL, LET’S GET TO IT. WE ARE GOING TO START THE HOUR WITH THE MUSIC OF ANCIENT GREECE - ORPHEIUS ODDESSY, LEGENDS ON STRINGS.
