FOLLOW UP VIDEO: How do we know what Ancient Roman music sounded like without any notated scores?
AUDIO DEMONSTRATIONS OF ALL THE THREE TYPES OF MELODIES ANCIENT GREEK MELODIES (GENERA):
And here are quality performances of Greco-Roman music:
I’ve made a few videos talking about certain aspects of Ancient Greek music theory and how they have come to influence music of later periods, but I figured it would be a worthwhile endeavour to offer a very basic introduction to the general sound of Ancient Greek and Roman music for those who may wonder what it was like. This video is meant to be a beginner’s basic overview of the instruments and the general music theory in a very general and simplified scope. In later videos, I will delve into more complex aspects.
For those more interested in the subject, here is a wonderful lecture by the great Armand d’Angour, an absolute specialist in the subject:

As a Greek Canadian, I was almost about to leave when I heard your name was Syfilis Spanakopitas, but luckily the buffoonery didn't last long. 🙂
bro really has a cherry blossom in the backround
dude your fake greeklish accent is flawless you truly are a gifted man!
I'm wondering if anyone could help me, what's the origin of the names of the notes in Greek music? I've been trying to find where hyperbolaion, diezeugmenon, lichanos and stuff come from. Does anyone know any book or article where I can read specifically about the names? Because what I've found just describe the scales, but it doesn't say why it has those names. Thank you in advance!
Excellent presentation!
Man, I love the editing (or lack thereof) in your videos. The way you actually include pauses and little breaks of silence makes your videos seem so much human, natural, and less jarring. Don't change, brother.
I'm so glad I came across your channel. My nerdy little heart loves learning new things and gaining new insights here.
Suuuuuuuuuubscribe
I would like to know what you think of the couple that go by the name Organographia. They made instruments from the pictures made by the ancient ones. A very fascinating and wonderful couple. Thank you for this wonderful video. 😊
Extraordinarily interesting! I've often wondered what classical music sounded like. A question, though. I believe that a violin like instrument was found in Egypt, which presumably included a bow. Of course, microtones are available using violin type instruments.great video!
As a Persian i was always interested in greek history and music and now a Iranian mazani is explaining greek music to me.
I can't ask for more, excellent work!👌👌👌✨💫💯
Jeez you sound like Johnny Depp
You are a truly great teacher!

Pure gold! Thank you!
May I ask if you are Iranian? Your name appears to be.
Interesting topic.
