Ancient Greek musical instruments, 2E

---

Explores the historical and cultural development of musical instruments in Hellenic culture. This book was written by the musician-researcher M. Georgiou who studies the reconstruction of the ancient musical instruments. Relying on scientific research but also on artistic imagination, he is seeking the lost values and aesthetic concept of the ancient Greeks upon which modern civilization has largely been founded. He is seeking, like the ancient Greeks, that sound which will lead him to the comprehension and understanding of the celestial resonance. With passionate interest and incredible enthusiasm he delves into the texts of ancient Greek writers, studies pottery painting and mosaics, philosophy and astronomy as well as the relation between the ancient Greek language and mathematics and music and then plans, assesses, paints, reconstructs lyres, kitharas and phorminxes and gives again soul and sound to the ancient Greek instruments.
