Reproductions/Recreations of Ancient Music

Sort of surprised there's such limited interest in this type of stuff. I think it's more likely due to folks not having thought about it much or heard much of it instead of really not liking or enjoying it. Especially on eastern/semitic/nomadic stuff - which is really beautiful and works very well as additions in the game too. Just take a listen to this one: http://homepage.eircom.net/~bronzeag.../butterfly.mp3 - which has traditional Irish flute and a Bronze Age Irish horn.

TA can you show me some Gallic music? I would like to hear some of that plz

**Teleklos Archelaou** · 02-11-2007, 20:24

That's one thing I have no knowledge of at all. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on that one.

Did the Ancient Greeks themselves actually use Pythagorean tuned 12-tone chromatic scale? Actually, the "Ligy" sample sounds very Sun Ra-- a lover of esoteric flute and oboe melodies.

this is very interesting, just not much info on it though...

pythagoras' original theories on music didnt specifically state a 12 tone scale. He did say that 12 was important, but he also connected music with celestial bodies. Turkish music was derived from pythagoras' theories, but you can hear that it is very different from Western music which is also based on pythagoras.
