Here at last is a clear  comprehensive  and authoritative account that presupposes no special knowledge of music. Topics covered include the place of music in Greek life  instruments  rhythm  tempo  modes and scales  melodic construction  form  ancient theory and notation  and historical development. Thirty surviving examples of Greek music are presented in modern transcription with analysis  and the book is fully illustrated. Besides being considered on its own terms  Greek music is here further illuminated by being considered in ethnological perspective  and a brief Epilogue sets it in its place in a border zone between Afro-Asiatic and European culture. The book will be of value both to classicists and historians of music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666213953589,"sku":"ByrdShop_0198149751","price":145.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780198149750.jpg?v=1782423583","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ancient-greek-music-clarendon-paperbacks-9780198149750","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
