DJ has a few small tears and chipping; 1.06 x 8.52 x 5.48 Inches; 440 pages; Background Ancient Greece was permeated by music, and the literature teems with musical allusions. For most readers the subject has remained a closed book. Now in Paperback Here at last is a paperback edition of this clear, comprehensive account that presupposes no special knowledge of music. Topics covered include the place of music in Greek life; instruments; rhythm; tempo; modes and scales; melodic construction; form; ancient theory and notation; and historical development. Thirty surviving examples of Greek music are presented in modern transcription with analysis, and the book is fully illustrated. A brief Epilogue sets Greek music in the wider context in a border zone between Afro-Asiatic and European culture. . 1992. Oxford University Press ISBN 0198148976 9780198148975 [CA]
