First Delphic Hymn to Apollo [original fragment]

At least since Pythagora discovered the relation of the notes it is logical for the ancients to add companion melody to the main melody. Ofcourse this means polyphony!
Also, it is logical that the melody has intermezzos! You see the ancients liked the "metron"!
So my comment is that it had to be polyphonic and the singer had to stop between the phrases for music intermezzos!
The rythm had to be more serious!
The voice had to have normal colour and not tenor colour, etc...

I wish I had been there.

everything in this world was originally created by HELLAS!!!valkan ppl should respect greeks instead of trying to steal their history!!!

Let me state that I think most of you are doing a terrible mistake. Ancient greek music does NOT sound like balkan music. Late greek music IS balkan music, not the one dwelling from the ancient past. We do not know how to perform this extrordinary piece. We lack valuable information. However, the west style of playing may be the most accurate, as the western music came from the ancient greek one.

Do you really believe so?
warbling while singin was popular during the 4th century yet! (aristophane says that).. before, maybe you're right, because in the arcaic period, they used to sing without any warbling. But it's true, we have not many informations about... only fragments...

I'm shivering

get a blanket

We are naturaly born balkan people, not in a big city, but near to traditions...and it is tipycal to be critical, but to do. So we are playing, singing, dancing, educating children in traditions-but reak traditions. And I can say: THAT IS NOT BALKAN MUSIC< BUT western interpretation, as the western did all theil lif from Rensance times to nowadays...!!!

Do you have anything to offer besides criticism. That's one of the easiest things to do, common even. Performance is the difficult thing.

music based off of the phrygian mode of ancient greece
