How Did Ancient Greek Music Sound?

image credit: areadeandavid cc

It is often forgotten that the writings at the root of Western literature - the epics of Homer, the love-poems of Sappho, the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides - were all, originally, music. Dating from around 750 to 400 BC, they were composed to be sung in whole or part to the accompaniment of the lyre, reed-pipes, and percussion instruments.

The music of ancient Greece, unheard for thousands of years, is being brought back to life by Armand D'Angour, a musician and tutor in classics at Oxford University.

A marketing plan is a piece of writing clearly highlighting the marketing strategy which a specific enterprise is going to implement. It is necessary to admit that a marketing plan is concentrated on two major items, i.e. tactics and strategy. Order a marketing plan essay if you want it to be written successfully.
