Synopsis

In ancient Greek music, pitch accuracy was paramount to establish the correct intervals between notes. Yet determining the definitive pitch of ancient music has long been an academic conundrum. This profound and rigorously researched book examines the methods and instruments used by ancient Greek thinkers to measure musical intervals, and therefore establish pitch. Packed with fascinating insights on the way the Greeks conceptualized sound, and with a detailed look at the mathematical foundations of their musical system, this book uncovers the secrets of ancient musical theory, presenting an illuminating resource for students of ancient music, the history of music theory, and the history of musical instruments.
