Delighted to share that five new entries on music, wind instruments, stringed instruments, rhythmics, and harmonics are now available in the Oxford Classical Dictionary!

Many thanks to all those who shared images of instrument finds & reconstructions, as well as recordings 🎶

iAulos is designed to help you visualise and play ancient Greek double-pipes (auloi), and explore the intervals and scales they produced.

Mind the gap, please!
Why did Imperial musicians forego the keys that shaped Classical masterpieces such as Euripides’ tragedies or Timotheus’ Persians? And why did they rename the traditional Dorian mode, and called it Lýdia instead?

The Louvre aulos and the Lower Phrygian mode – an amazingly clear & engaging demonstration by Callum Armstrong!

Very grateful to Callum and Max Brumberg for all the work they put into making this video – more to come in the near future 🎶🏛️ @eMousike

You can also explore the number of vocal and instrumental notes attested in the Imperial musical documents, and the relative percentages. Enjoy! 🙂

... and enables you to explore the data in different ways – you can now zoom in on areas of particular interest and compare the number of occurrences of each note in different keys in the Classical and Hellenistic musical documents.

It was lovely to join @sndorf and @theothertoby in a thought-provoking conversation hosted by @BSAthens that focused on ancient Greek music and its modern 'translations'. Thanks again for the kind invitation and for chairing the event so well, @emilypillinger!

[Tosca A.C. Lynch, PhD, FRHistS 🇪🇺 🕊 @DrToscaLynch]

A summary of the main findings of the article, and high-res versions of the diagrams, are provided on @eMousike. Enjoy!

‘There are serious puzzles here’, as Andrew Barker put it many years ago.

A new solution to these, and other, riddles raised by the ‘Lydian’ metamorphosis of Imperial Greek music is offered in my new article, which has been published recently in GRMS!
