{"product_id":"ancient-greek-music-stefan-hagel-9781316610893","title":"Ancient Greek Music: A New Technical History","description":"This book endeavours to pinpoint the relations between musical, and especially instrumental, practice and the evolving conceptions of pitch systems. It traces the development of ancient melodic notation from reconstructed origins, through various adaptations necessitated by changing musical styles and newly invented instruments, to its final canonical form. It thus emerges how closely ancient harmonic theory depended on the culturally dominant instruments, the lyre and the aulos. These threads are followed down to late antiquity, when details recorded by Ptolemy permit an exceptionally clear view. Dr Hagel discusses the textual and pictorial evidence, introducing mathematical approaches wherever feasible, but also contributes to the interpretation of instruments in the archaeological record and occasionally is able to outline the general features of instruments not directly attested. The book will be indispensable to all those interested in Greek music, technology and performance culture and the general history of musicology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefan Hagel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316610896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316610893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.02d","brand":"Stefan Hagel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947995529471,"sku":"9781316610893","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ac0ac359-b4f9-44ae-a99f-26e7ec839303.jpg?v=1681522006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ancient-greek-music-stefan-hagel-9781316610893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
