There is a sample audio file of a reconstructed song at the link.

Somehow I think if you were to give a Tambura and some ancient Indian lyrics to Jimmy Hendrix for recreation it might not have sounded quite like it did 2000 years ago.
Can you imagine future historians trying to recreate rap?

There was this Star trek episode with blue-skinned people in an ancient court with the lutes and the flutes a playing.

The names of the Modes are reminiscent of Ancient Greece:
Ionian (Same as the Modern Major Scale)
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian (Same as Natural Minor)
Locrian
Pythagoras was also very interested in the mathematical relationships between notes and their intervals.
The Piano Keyboard was designed to utilize these modes, and guitarists memorize them to use in awesome Jazz Solos.
I think that the music of Ancient Greece would have a familiar sound to Western Ears.

“Suppose that 2,500 years from now all that survived of the Beatles songs were a few of the lyrics”
2,500 years from now Elinore Rigby may be presumed to have been some sort of ancient mythical goddess.

Not disparaging his scholarship in the least, but I don’t believe Creese would do justice to Soppho.

I've often wondered if some ancient sounds could have been captured in pottery. Could voice vibrations/etc from the potters have been captured in the wet clay...like the grooves on a vinyl record?
They would have been seriously crude but....with today's technology?

How did ancient Greek music sound?
Hmmm?..I don't know.
But if it can't be played on one of these.....
I don't care.Fender Stratocaster©. If they're good enough for Eric Clapton, they're good enough for me ;-)24 posted on
