The music of ancient Greece: EMS 7 April

Lucie Skeaping talks to Prof Armand D'Angour of Jesus College Oxford about the music and poetry of ancient Greece, from Homer to Mesomedes via Sappho, Euripides, Pindar and Athenaeus.

This is of some relevance?

There was a fascinating TV documentary a while back about ancient greek music, and the research into and recreation of the double flute, presented by Prof D'Angour, so I am looking forward to this EMS.

Fascinating odders. Barny (Barnaby Brown) was a choral scholar at Gonville and Caius...a rather traditional musical background one might think...but he was always fascinated by instruments from other cultures. Wasn't he great on the Youtube clip you posted up? Listening to today's EMS, I had a sense of deja vu (or should I say deja entendu?) In other words, was this programme a repeat?

What I heard of the programme was very interesting. I recommend Listen Again.

So did I but I assumed that was because I had seen the TV programme.

That would explain it. No matter, well worth hearing again.
