Ancient Greek / Roman Music – Organographia III

 

Channel: Aemilius Paulus
Duration: 3:51
Description: Despite the fact this music is a reproduction of Greek creations, the Ancient Romans were notable for deriving nearly all of their music (especially in upper-class settings) from the Greeks. Therefore, this music was just as common in the Roman Republic/Empire as it was in Greece. In fact, at least two of the Musica Romana pieces are nearly identical to the songs produced by this group.
