Musical instruments in Antiquity? Especially the Greek and Roman ones. That is what you will find around here. How did they look like, in which context were these things used and who played with it ? A remarkable search brings us interesting pictures and findings from the Antiquity. This Website came to life thanks to a paper I wrote at the University of Ghent.

Roman Classical Music: Orchestras, choirs, chamber ensembles, opera companies, renowned solisti virtuosi of every instrument, of every voice (and of every shape, size, and lifestyle) head to Rome on annual performance pilgrimages, there to join home-grown groups and performers in the production of "classical" music.

In 364 BC, Rome was afflicted by a terrible pestilence. In order to appease the anger of the Gods, LUDI SCÆNICI were created which featured "Ludiones" (Etruscan dancers and actors) who "dancing to the sound of tibias without singing themselves and without miming the meaning of the song, moved, not without grace, in the Etruscan manner" (Livy VII, 2). This was the first example of a musical performance on the ancient Roman scene not tied to ritual, theatre or circus.

From before the time of Homer, music was an integral part of Greek culture. Festivals, rituals, parties, work, games, theater, and war were all accompanied by music. Greek literature extolled music and was linked with it: much of the Greek poetry and drama known today was originally sung or musically accompanied. Professional musicians were valued members of society whose merits were judged in public competitions.
