\n<\/strong>ancient Greek Music from the Classical period<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time ever an attempt is being made to let the music of the classical Greek era<\/strong> <\/a>revive through intense research and reconstruction from the respective period (5th\u00a0and 6th\u00a0c BC). With the use of instruments and their original playing techniques, in addition to the ancient Greek language, the everyday musical life of Ancient Greece is audible again, although the original music of that time is lost for ever.<\/p>\n

For almost twenty\u00a0years the musician and musical archaeologist,\u00a0Conrad Steinmann<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the instrument maker,\u00a0Paul J. Reichlin<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0have worked together on the reconstruction of musical instruments and music from the Ancient Greek classical period. The meticulous study of original ancient instruments in the museums of London, Paestum, Copenhagen, Athens, Korinth, Vravr\u00f3na, Pol\u00fdgyros and Thessaloniki form the basis for the rebuilding of instruments. Also vase paintings from the time around 500 BC provide a significant amount of picture material for the analysis of these instruments.<\/p>\n

A further important source on the doorway to sounds is the language of Greek lyrics. Those characteristics with accents and rhythmical assertiveness allow us to draw conclusions on how the shape and moulding of the music must have been. These elements are brought in line with the possibilities and tonalities of the used instruments. Although the music has finally been newly created by Conrad Steinmann, their elements align as closely as possible to historical facts.<\/p>\n
