  • Sounds very mournful yet hauntingly beautiful.

  • To whom are asking about the scales and measurement of this kind of music or telling this is not from ancient Greek music, read Grout & Palisca - History of Western Music. There are many scholars working very hard on this kind of music, they are working on understanding the text with music measurement and the language and how to play the music. We cannot play the music like it was at that time, but they are doing their best!

  • @macpduff of course it can't be transfered but this is why we have this thing called science. thanks to pythagoras... even though we don't know how to play the special ornaments of ancient greek music but we can hear how the scale sounds. yet, some ancient scores found by archeologists have been transcribed. i'm sure you've heard epitaph of seikilos.

    best regards from istanbul.

  • How do you know what scale to play this in?

    How do you know where and how to put the emphasis and pauses?

    Music is not a machine.

    It's like dance.

    It can't be tranferred through generations by ink on a page or pictures on a wall.

  • This music isn't actually from ancient Greece, it's written by a modern composer interpreting the style of the time and basing it on ancient Greek verse.

  • I Love the "Epic" spookiness!

  • It brought the entire antiquity in my ears.. for only 3:38 minutes...but i repeat this :D

    all the best from the north of Istros.

  • Jestem ciekaw jaka muzyka towarzyszyła "Bachantką"

  • Eurypides rules!

  • SCWguqin, I coudn't have said it better myself. Inauthentic orchestration, ornamentation and pronunciation, but perfect spirit.

  • You are talking plain bull!!!

  • IN YOUR ABSURD DREAMS!!!

  • Well performed and beautiful.

  • Nuts??? How do you discern the Greek pronunciation type?

  • The orchestration is nuts and the pronunciation is modern, but it's nice to hear ancient music performed with SPIRIT. I first heard this track when my middle school class put on the Oresteia, and it kind of...changed my life, at that tender age.

  • one of the greatest pieces of music, ever! THANKS!
