@Tzimnewman3 o ryte lol so dey used lyak a tape recorder or sumfing relly old fasioned lyke dat? nd i fort dey didunt have yoUtubE so how did dey put it on heer?
Very nice music realy i like it! But its not Greek not even the words are ancient greek. i'm not sure but the words maybe its ancient Rome (or ancient latinic i dont know if i wrote write.)
It's ancient Greek. You can't recognize it because you're taught in Greece to read ancient texts in a modern way, what's completely wrong. For example, you spell ι, υ, ει, οι, η in the same way, while they were 5 different sounds (ει, οι being diphthongs, η being a long version of ε etc). β was like 'b', not like 'w', they had three accents (circumflexus, accutus, gravis), not just one, and this accent was of a different kind.
Has it never make you wonder why Modern Greek orthography is so complicated? It's obvious – your nowadays language has hidden within characteristics of few thousands years of history of its development.
The more I watch this and the Pagan spirit the entire wonderful production conveys the more and more I regret (even despise) the introduction of Christianity, Islam and repressive Monotheism into this World. Pagan spirit is far truer and less hypocritical, far more accepting of interflows less idolizing of boundaries, eg Hermaphroditus the God combining both genders. We have fallen how we have fallen!
@Emeengor lol, you Greeks seem to forget that modern Greek is just a new dialect of the language. The Classical pronunciation has been corroborated by the work of ancient grammarians and stylists. You should really be more open-minded. Maybe you should be more open-minded, and then you could appreciate the hard-work people go through to go across cultures and make the exotic relics of the ancients immediate to us...
@NazTb0y plus i didnt discourage the trial nor iam trying to flame them its just the truth they have killed the lyrics its hard even for me to understand them...and thats mostly because they use their own accent to pronounce the lyrics.. to see how messy this can get planet uranos is pronounced by english people like "your anous" :P ΟΥΡΑΝΟΣ's real pronounciation is "ourranoss" with the "ou" like "OOps i did it again" rr like "Rational" o like "stOp" ss like poSSbly and it means "sky"
@Emeengor well, I'd have to see the lyrics--but do they really pronounce Ouranos like the anglicized Uranus? b/c that's definitely wrong!!! I thought you meant they used classical pronunciation rather than modern Greek pronunciations. From what you just said, it sounds like they're just pronouncing it like anglicized Greek. flat As don't belong in Ancient Greek, and omicron should sound like stop whereas Omega like Oh! But Phi like P with an explosive H-sound.
@Emeengor So, are you talking about Ancient Greek pronunciation or modern? b/c modern Greeks don't pronounce Ancient Greek correctly. They pronounce Beta like it's a V, and they pronounce Chi like the H in Yiddish...
@NazTb0y listen this is an entire science field on its own there is no straight answer to many topics you opened... 1st there is no "one" pronounciation or dialekt... depenting on the epoch (on a timeline from 10.000 bc till today) and the tribe(eolic ionic pelasgic macedonian lakedemonian etc) pronounciation change .. dempenting of which epocand tribes you compare the difference could be none, slight, or almost major..
2nd modern greek isnt that much modern its about 1000 years old
@Emeengor a painfully boring, but authoritative book on this very subject is Vox Graeca. You're absolutely right that there was never one standard dialect/ pronunciation of Greek (well, unless you count Koine Greek, but that was based on Attic). However, we do have grammarians who use the Attic dialect as the golden standard. we're fairly certain that Athenian Greeks used something like "classical pronunciation." Thing is, we know they didn't talk like modern Greeks.
@NazTb0y So, if all this scholarly work has gone into uncovering a genuine pronunciation of the Ancients that we know was used among a very important demographic in the history of ideas and art, why not use it? I mean, I don't think theories of ancient pronunciation are any less tenuous than those of ancient music. If you're open enough towards the ancient music, y not the ancient pronunciation too. I wanna hear modern Greek pronunciation in modern music, but ancient greek-- u get it...
@NazTb0y "a genuine pronunciation of the Ancients that we know was used among a very important demographic in the history of ideas and art"
This idea is like telling me an English man that my pronunciation of English is not genuine even though I am born and bred in England. My pronunciation is very different from other English people around my country.
How would you decide which pronunciation to use? Would you pick the Spartan pronunciation over the Athenian?
@Tzimnewman3 Or like telling me, an American, that I don't speak proper English. I see where you're going--but if I wanted to set the original text of Beowulf to music, I wouldn't use my regular, old American pronunciations. I'd do what I could to determine how things were pronounced back then. Ancient Greek sounds about as much like modern as Anglo-Saxon does like Am English. Since we're confident of the ancient pronunciation of the Athenians, it's the best one we've got.
@NazTb0y "Or like telling me, an American, that I don't speak proper English."
I was thinking more of the different pronunciations in One country not the difference between American English and English. Someone in Liverpool has a different pronunciation from someone in London or in York, or in Glasgow. Its all English but very different and its in one country.
Your asking me which one is better, like there could ever be a "best one". They are all good to me.
@Tzimnewman3 The American thing is also analogous to the Greek world, since you had Greeks in Sicily and Naples probably speaking with different pronunciations from those in the Peloponnese and mainland--as well as Greeks in Asian Minor. My point is, since this is Ancient Music, you'd want an ancient pronunciation, and Attic/Hellenistic pronunciation is the one we know best, so why not? I'm really responding to Emeengor, who insinuated that the pronunciation used isn't Greek enough
@Tzimnewman3 Of course, you'd want Attic rather than Laconic--the Spartans stopped writing songs after Alcman & Tyrtaeus. I guess there's also the Hellenistic pronunciations, but the only thing that changes there are the aspirates becoming fricatives. Since u uploaded the song, I'd like to know just what pronunciation do you think they should have chosen? Modern Greek, Lesbian, what?!
@NazTb0y I am not concerned with what pronunciation they may choose since there would obviously be different pronunciations during that time like there is today in English.
@NazTb0y well i can not agree nor dissagree with that though i tend to disagree because many of those books written in 1500 and after are based mostly on hypothesis and written from people who did speak greek as a foreign language and were never actually related to it..As far as I know the truth is that we have not any solid proof about the pronounciation(who has about any ancient language?) other than our heritage and various spelling rules and phenomena.
@Emeengor You've left out an important piece of evidence: ancient grammarians that not only discuss spelling, but what distinct vowels and diphthongs sound like. Dionysius of Halicarnassus is a major source, and he wrote in the first century AD.
@Emeengor another thing: You know modern Greek & are looking for an excuse to make ancient Greek sound just like it b/c you recognize that more. That's not being objective; on the contrary, it's giving into your own irrational expectations based on where you were born & what languages you know. I'm Roman Catholic, but I don't say the church pronunciation of Latin's better than the Classical. I use the classical for classical texts, & the church for prayers.
@NazTb0y well lets repeat some things i didnt said that there are no differences in modern greek(~1000 years old)i said that we are not able to define them all and in a precise manner..the sure thing that ancient greek nomater of which period or which dialect sounded very similary to todays greek!.-it was not a different language! modern greek shares more than 1000 word 100%genuine with no alteration of any sort with greek of the pre/homeric age and thusands more words with common roots
@Emeengor English also shares words with Greek (plethora, acme, hegemony) and has at least 1000 words based on Greek roots (biology, psychology, geography). So do German, French & all the Indo-European languages. This evidence doesn't mean that Modern Greek sounds more like ancient Greek than any other language. Yes, modern Greek is a less distant relative than Italian, but that's not evidence that modern Greek more accurately replicates the sound of Ancient than scholars do
@NazTb0y thats not what i mean (and i think you still try to impose that greek is a foreign language to ancient greek or that its equally related to to ancient greek as far as any other barbaric language) and i didnt use "barbaric" for no reazon ΒΑΡΒΑΡΟΣ or BARBARIAN (the second be a loan) means the one doesnt speak greek (in both greek and a.greek) but it has different meaning in english. i spoke about maintance of vocabulary not about loans and similarity (29/01 continues)
@NazTb0y (continue1 from post 29/01)loan is a word( taken from an other languag )of which you have a synonim in your motherlanguage already soul=psyche and also in many instances loans do not use all the properties of the original word though ancient greek word ΨΥΧΗ= modern greek word (and there is no other word for it)ΨΥΧΗ which is just simila in both terms of spelling and meaning with the english loan PSYCHE.so with no difference in spelling/meaning and with ALL the gramar properties
@NazTb0y (continue2 from post 29/01) so with no difference in spelling/meaning and with ALL the gramar properties and with none prexisting synonim we keep the words. for examble itas in ancient times (and its today ) H ΨΥΧΗ, ΤΗΣ ΨΥΧΗΣ etc the loans though do not alter in grammar threy are mostly like "labels" and nor the same rules apply to them in product words... its a huge difference to be influenced by a language than be the language itself...
@NazTb0y (continue3 from post 29/01) you have much more than 1000 words of greek descent they are more than you think one could speak english only by using those words... that doesnt mean that your language is greek or maintaince greek language... many factors must coexist besides using the root of a wort or even it entierty to claim that you use the genuine language...
@NazTb0y (continue4-final- from post 29/01) and to return to topic the CHOROS(ΧΟΡΟΣ, there is also ΧΩΡΟΣ which means space -botha ancient/greek) sings ancient greek like americans trying to speak french after a cemester of studying it :P
@NazTb0y (continue from post 4-final-29/01)i just wanted to add the fact that exambles you used may be ancient greek words or related ancient greek words but they are not"that much ancient"by that i mean they are about 2000,3000 years old-atleast- though i was talking about prechomeric age which is atleast 3500+ before today plus that english(anglosaxons and all the other variations)lend those not so ancient words or their roots and added them to their language only 500 to 800 years ago
@NazTb0y this phenomeno (of maintaning the vocabulary) is a global singularity (maybe chinese is an exeption) there is no other volk that keeps for so many millenia a big piece of his starting vocabulary intact! you are accusing me(or the greeks) for something that you (not you specifically ) practice.. many people -who were not greek nore were speaking greek natively- especially around 1500-1700 tried to latinize greek by assuming the their latinized greek should sound like the genuine
@Emeengor still ignoring Dionysius of Halicarnassus! 1500-1700 people pronounced Latin like Italian, so if they Latinized Greek, it'd mean they Italianized it.Now, reading ancient grammarians & relying on orthographic evidence, scholars have reconstructed *a different,* more authentic theory than the ones from 1500-1700. & the opposite took place with Latin, whereby Latin was Hellenized to sound more like ancient Greek based on the new theories.
@NazTb0y oh and "a" like "hAlf" and you aceent the ending (not in every greek word) = you say it a litte louder/stronger/bolder so its ourranOSS or with accent marks ουρανός so you see by your self that the english accent that sounds like "your anous" "P has almost no similarity whith the original word... and it gets messier with words that have Δ or Θ in them since you dont have such pronounciations in your language.. so you spell Δ as D but its more than THe but not exactly...
@Alopekideus This is an imaginitive reconstruction based on the style of the few surviving Greek Music fragments we have. Perhaps the artists also drew on descriptions of music from the learned sources of the time. I don't know who this group is (they are damned good!), but one famous group who played these fragments was "Atrium Musicae De Madrid"
there's an intensity and energy about some of this ancient music that you don't hear today...in some ways i think it's got something that today's music hasn't got
if someone is still interested in that, whose song is this it's " All' o phoibe" of The Anctient Orchestra.A few years ago, the AO became The Theatre Association Chorea, and they work in Poland. :)
@Flongothewonchalos I am not sure myself has I came across it without a name. Hopefully, somone here will know the song but maybe it was found without a title.
@Tzimnewman3 Which album is this from and where can I buy it? I'm absolutely crazy about this recreation of Ancient Greek Music. I have a few CDs of music from the Ancient World and would like to acquire this, it matches my own private fantasy of what much Ancient Greek Music may have sounded like. I eagerly await your reply. Much thanks! :-)

@JimmyEatWorld55 I'll be sure to let the artists know your thoughts once I find a time machine :-)

@Flongothewonchalos I am not sure myself has I came across it without a name. Hopefully, somone here will know the song but maybe it was found without a title.

@Tzimnewman3 Which album is this from and where can I buy it? I'm absolutely crazy about this recreation of Ancient Greek Music. I have a few CDs of music from the Ancient World and would like to acquire this, it matches my own private fantasy of what much Ancient Greek Music may have sounded like. I eagerly await your reply. Much thanks! :-)
