"LYRAVLOS" is a five member ensemble, which lies emphasis on the Ancient Greek Music. It was created in 2001, to shed light on the unknown field of ancient Greek music and to reveal the unique value of this music through a systematic scientific research.
An important part of the groups work is the reconstruction of ancient musical instruments based on scientific evidence and research concerning the way these instruments were played as well as the use of voice in this music. The ancient instruments manage to reveal unique, mystical sounds that convey the joy of life and motivate the artists to compose modern music thus confirming the inexhaustible wealth, the timelessness and the amazing dynamics of the Ancient Greek Musical Tradition.
LYRAVLOS is a combination of the names of two very popular ancient musical instruments the Lyre and the Avlos. The Lyre represents the Apollonian element in music as Apollo was the god of knowledge and art and the Avlos represents the Dionysian element as Dionysus was the god of joy, love and wine. The ensembles work is characterized by scientific accuracy, a strong sense of responsibility, and respect towards the Greek culture.

Ο "Λύραυλος" είναι ένα μουσικό σύνoλο, που συγκροτήθηκε το 2001, για να φωτιστεί συστηματικά, επιστημονικά, και με τρόπο που θα αναδείξει την μοναδική καλλιτεχνική του διάσταση, το μεγάλο κεφάλαιο, που λέγεται Aρχαία Ελληνική Mουσική.
Σημαντικό μέρος της όλης δουλειάς του Λύραυλου αποτελεί η επιστημονικά τεκμηριωμένη ανακατασκευή των αρχαίων μουσικών οργάνων, η έρευνα για τον τρόπο παιξίματος τους και ακόμη για την χρήση της φωνής.
Τα αρχαία όργανα, ο ήχος και η αισθητική τους, πέρα από την μεταφορά στο σήμερα ήχων μυστηριακών και γεμάτων από την χαρά της ζωής, έχουν αποτελέσει αφορμή, για να γραφτεί σύγχρονη μουσική, ειδικά γι'αυτά, επιβεβαιώνοντας έτσι τον αστείρευτο πλούτο, τη διαχρονικότητα και την εκπληκτική δυναμική της Αρχαίας Ελληνικής Μουσικής Παράδοσης.
"Λύραυλος": Το όνομά του προέρχεται απο τον συνδυασμό των δύο δημοφιλέστερων μουσικών οργάνων της αρχαιότητας, της λύρας και του αυλού (αυτά εκφράζουν, αντίστοιχα, το Απολλώνειο και το Διονυσιακό στοιχείο).

  • I got tipped off to this just today - the opening rendition sounds as if it owes much to the Atrium Musicae de Madrid rendition (so much the better). It's nice to hear the Hymn to Nemesis with lyrics! Keep up the excellent work.

  • @rakkav Thank you.

  • Από τα πιο θαυμάσια βίντεο που έχουν ανέβει στο ΥΤ. Συγχαρητήρια!

  • Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ.

  • This awesome, specially the Orestes fragment, however the pronunciation could be improved in terms of trasnposing it to from the modern to the reconstructed ancient pronunciation.

  • The language is ancient. As for pronunciation, I believe that it is not known exactly how it was in antiquity.

  • damn no wonder everyone killed each other there...

    if they had to listen to this creepy-ass shit

  • Έξοχο!!

  • Well, it can be reconstructed with a fairly amount of certainty, at least to the extent of saying how it differed from the modern demotiki. Check Allen's Vox Graeca...

    But I mean, it is just a detail, the music you do is superb ;-)

  • Thank you I learn the music group, which I did not know.
