Farya Faraji | Sounion - Ancient Greek Music @faryafaraji | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
Music by Farya Faraji. This is an attempt at a historical reconstruction of Ancient Greek music based on the information available to us. Information on Ancient Greek music can be found in my Epic Talking playlist, alongside academic sources.
The main instrument used here is an approximation of the Greek pandoura lute, although the model I have uses nylgut strings (artifical gut strings that are nylon based) instead of the historical gut strings that would have been used back then, which alters the timbre of the instrument.
The melody is an improvisation using the Dorian Diatonic mode (now called Phrygian; the names were swapped in the Middle-Ages), and the Lydian Chromatic Mode.
