SONG BY SHLOMO HALEVI ALKABETZ JOSEPH TALKS: A TWO-PART INVENTION FROM TITUS FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS (ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY WILLIAM WHISTON) An antique Latin policy was used to say that ROMA is AMOR. It means that Rome is Love. Well, one cannot honestly say that plenty of ART is a plague RAT. LOVE and ART are vibrant. Jerusalem and the Second Temple fell in September 70: Elul 3830 in the Hebrew calendar. 1950 years ago ROMA's violence decided to destroy Jerusalem. That was not AMOR. 1950 years after, this album is dedicated to the ancient siege and massacre of Elul 3830. That's for sure. But we know that a transnational & transhistorical community of victims is calling us. Lots of eerie imperia - the empires - act impiously on the dashboard of history. Our music is but the memory of these events. And not only of a singular event. JOSEPH TALKS MY NAME IS JOSEPH, the son of Matthias. By birth a Hebrew… a priest also. I am who at first fought against the Romans, and was forced to be present at what was done afterwards.

  • A Response to Laywine on Hagel, Ancient Greek Music ⋆
    A Response to Laywine on Hagel, Ancient Greek Music ⋆ Stefan Hagel Austrian Academy of Sciences [email protected] I am sad that as intelligent a reviewer as Alison Laywine was so deeply dissatisfied with my book. On the one hand she has convinced me that there are issues which deserve her harsh criticism, even if part of her dis- appointment (I hope) might perhaps be ascribed to the fact that the title misled the renowned Kantian scholar to expect an introduction to the study of ancient music, which she apparently came to embrace only recently. On the other hand, I find my argument so severely misrepresented both overall and sometimes in detail that I decided to write this response, in the hope that in this way the readers of Aestimatio will know better what to expect to find in the book. To begin, Laywine could not locate ‘a single, self-contained, coherent state- ment of [my] overall motivations’ [168] and therefore embarks upon con- struing one on the basis of my doctoral thesis, published a decade earlier. Turning the volume around, she might instead have found the statement, ‘This book endeavors to pinpoint the relations between musical, and espe- cially instrumental, practice and the evolving conceptions of pitch systems.’ This, I think, covers it nicely. I will give one example of the internal cohesion of the argument which Laywine is missing.Towards the end of my book, the necessary ingredients are collected (I trust) for tuning a lyre to the same pitch (within a semitone) and the same intervals (within a small fraction of a tone) as ancient lyres had been in the second century, in order to accompany a tune that had actually been composed for such a lyre.To accomplish this we need to understand the pitch range of the cithara [ch.

  • A Lyre on the Ground
    Hyperboreus 18:1 (2012) Nina Almazova A LYRE ON THE GROUND To Prof. Dr. Heinz Heinen Among Attic red-fi gured vases from the Hermitage collection is a stemmed plate by the Dish Painter 1 dated to 470–460 BC. The painting in the interior (fi g. 1a) represents a bare-footed short-haired girl wearing a short high- girdled chiton and a diadem or a leaved fi llet. In a dance that resembles running she approaches a lyre lying on the ground and looks backwards. A ribbon is attached to the instrument; over the lyre there is an inscription in purple, all the letters of which are clearly visible: CORFELES. The content of this image has not been much discussed. The most detailed examination is that of Anna Peredolskaya in her Hermitage catalogue of red-fi gured Attic vases.2 Peredolskaya argues that the musical instrument3 decorated with a ribbon points rather to a cult dance with an accompaniment than to running. The glance of the girl is directed backwards, which makes it probable that she is being followed by someone; possibly, she is leading a chorus of young girls. The same explanation is implied by the inscription, which states clearly that the image deals with a chorus performance – though the translation given by Peredolskaya (‘идущая во главе хора’ – ‘leading a chorus’) is inadequate.4 The girl’s headgear which she calls “a golden diadem” points to a festive garment, according to Peredolskaya “a traditional garment of a young dancer”. Peredolskaya points out that the reason for placing the lyre on the ground is obscure.

  • 12 Soothing Lyres and Epodai Music Therapy and the Cases of Orpheus
    Antonietta Provenza Soothing Lyres and epodai: Music Therapy and the Cases of Orpheus, Empedocles and David The Charms of Music: Harmonia, Music Therapy and Musical Ethos The psychagogic efficacy of music, namely its power to act on the soul in such a way as to influence characters and behaviors, and even health,1 is based in ancient Greek thought on a likeness between soul and musical harmony.2 This idea involves also a “harmonious” order distinguishing human physis as being a part of the world order (kosmos), as it is possible to notice at least since the time of the pre-Socratics. From many of the surviving fragments of their works3 we learn of the shift of the term harmonia4 (Bonaventura-Meyer 1932; Lippman 1963; Lambropoulou 1995–1996; Franklin 2002) from material aspects of human life 1 *I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Joan Goodnick Westenholz and to Professors Yossi Maurey and Edwin Seroussi for the opportunity to present this paper and for their interest in my study of ancient Greek music. I would like also to thank Professors Salvatore Nicosia, Andrew D. Barker, John C. Franklin, Angelo Meriani, Eleonora Rocconi and the anonymous reviewer of this paper for their observations. See Anderson 1966; West 1992: 31–33 (quoting many references concerning the healing and soothing properties of music); West 2000: 51–68; Barker 2005. 2 This idea was discussed extensively in ancient Greece at least since the early Pythagoreans. Among the many evidence concerning the topic of soul and musical harmony, I mention here only the well-known passage in Plato’s Phaedo (85 e4–86 a3) where Simmias refers to the notion of soul as a harmonious blend of the elements composing the human body (verisimilarly recall- ing the physiological theories and the notion of isonomia of the Pythagorean physician Alcmae- on of Croton, see 24B4 DK = Aët.

    Music in Art XXVIII/ 1-2 (2003) Sounds of the Psalter: Orality and Musical Symbolism in the Luttrell Psalter Rosina Buckland Institute of Fine Arts, New York University Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the god of Jacob. Raise a song, sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon on our festal day. [Psalm 80 (81)] One of the major themes in the psalms is sound, that is to say making supplication or giving thanks to God through the raised voice or music-making. The fourteenth-century English manuscript known as the Luttrell Psalter echoes and reinforces this message through the prominence within it of sounds and rhythms, the voice and music. The orality of the verbal composition and its performance is not lost through conversion into a textual form, as might be expected, but rather is maintained by means of the textuality of the written and illuminated codex. I shall begin by considering the nature of the psalms as poems, and the formal qua- lities of the visual schema employed in this particular psalter. I then move into an extended discussion of the role of music and its symbolism in the Luttrell Psalter, and finish with a brief consideration of how text and image on the page stand ultimately only as signs of the actual performance of the psalms. The Luttrell Psalter (36 x 24.5 cm, British Library, Add.42130) was produced over a number of years some time between 1325 and the early 1340s.1 This time frame and precise knowledge of its patron can be obtained thanks to the inscription above the dedication miniature on f.202v, "Dns Galfridus louterell me fieri fecit" (Lord Geoffrey Luttrell caused me to be made).

  • INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC in the ROMAN AGE.1 the Cultivation Of
    INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN THE ROMAN AGE.1 THE cultivation of instrumental music remained in a backward state among the Greeks in the fifth and fourth centuries, B.C. - This was certainly not due to any want of taste for music.as a whole, for-no race ever valued it higher than did the Greeks. The reasons seem to have been, first, the bondage of-the instrument to the voice, second, the unsettled state of the musical scale, and thirdly, the dislike of the Greeks for over-elaboration in music. • .. • .-..-. ' . These three points are well illustrated in. the Republic of Plato, In opening the discussion on the admissibility of certain modes,-Socrates is made to say that a musical composition is made up of three things, the 'words,' the 'harmony,' and the 'rhythm,' and that the musical "words' are in themselves in no way different from the words of. common speech.2 In another place much scorn is cast by Glaucon on the musicians that sought for the least perceptible interval to make that the unit of sound-measurementr some of the experimenters declaring that they could distinguish an intermed- iate note, where others insisted that the two sounds had passed into unison.3 Socrates answers 'You mean those gentlemen who tease and torture the strings, screwing them up on the pegs.' . • Socrates and Glaucon both speak as amateurs in music, and their feelings must have been shared by many Athenians at the time. Just as with us there are some who long for the return of Handel's 'noble harmonies,' as a relief from the chromatic aberrations of the Wagnerian school, so these two worthy Greeks looked back to the sturdy Dorian airs of Terpander as the true strains of the Hellenic muse, before she had learnt to voice the subtler moods of the heart of man.
