Weknow more about Mesopotamian music than we know about Greek music. All Greek manuscripts we have are copies of the early middleages!

Excellent videos! So grateful! Question: can you recommend a book on the musics of antiquity? Or, alternatively, a global music history?

Keep it Classical. Very much enjoyed the video. While the Romans probably or certainly did 'copy' from the Greeks, there is nothing to say they did not write original music, perahps, on occassion, quite different in style and content, etc. Given the law of averages and the staggering number of people (for the acient world) IN Rome, I think to expect anything else is unlikely. Hope I find time to watch more of your videos.

True, we just don't have the same physical evidence from the Romans like we do the Greeks. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I loved your video! Would you permit me to translate and insert portuguese subtitles in your video?

08:04 I doubt that the word "musical" was used by Plato to mean "related to music" in our sense of the word music. I suspect that the word "musical" as used by Plato was intended to mean simply literally "of the Muses", i.e. this is a much wider category, including all the other "arts", including things like history. I suspect the expression by Plato you quoted is more accurately translated as making a distinction between what we call physical exercise (on the one side), and intellectual training/education (on the other side).

As a classically trained brass player who is also a banjo player I object to this banjo slander 😤

If "they" cared to share the secrets of antiquity then history itself would break the current system. It was made to be boring but truth be told it's quite far from it the further you dig. Look at ancient Egypt for example and all of its glorious implications of working electricity to the possibility of Extraterrestrial life. 😁
