GREECE

The history of Western music begins in Ancient Greece. They understand music as an art of divine origins. The word "music" derives from mousiké that means art of the muses. 

Many legends of Greek mythology link music to the Gods. Music was thought to have magical powers that could cure illnesses and modify behaviours. That is why it was considered an essential discipline in the education of young people.

MUSIC EXAMPLES:  

One of the few preserved fragments of ancient Greek music is the Seikilos Epitaph.

Seikilos Epitaph

1. Listen to the Seikilos Epitaph, one of the few fragments preserved of the music from Ancient Greece.

It appeared carved on a funerary pillar in Seikilos (Tralles). But far from being a mournful lament, it is a song that encourages us to enjoy our short lives.

Observe the most outstanding musical characteristics of this example:

 Performed by a female voice with accompaniment of instruments (kind of zills) and a lyre (plucked

string).

 Use of a monodic texture with heterophonic accompaniment of instruments which introduce the

melody and repeat the last notes.

 Written in a Phrygian mode or D scale with a melodic range of an octave.

The Seikilos Epitaph is one of the few fragments of music with musical notation that remain from

Ancient Greece.

It appeared carved on a funerary pillar in Seikilos (Tralles) in Asia Minor. According to Giovanni Comotti “it is the result of the melomania of a musician who wanted to have a short composition carved on the memorial stone of his own grave”.
