This gal can certainly sing. But beyond that I have my doubts.

There's a whole lotta guessin' goin' on...

The ground bass may or may not have been the way a song would have been put together 2500+ years ago, the melody may or may not have been that wide-ranging and lilting, and we can be sure that the voice would not have been reverbed. It sounds like a kind of Corinne Mammama-ization of what might or might not be the sound of pre-Greek-scales-sounding music. I don't mind it by any means, but let's admit what it is, pure speculation based on the intonations of a nonspoken language and the vibrations of a lyre built from the design on paintings.

I can see why the Assyrians conquered them, possibly to shut that up.

That woman hit a particularly long aggravating high note and my cat standing on the table next to me actually turned around and stared at the computer with an annoyed look.
