Lecture by PD Dr. Stefan Hagel (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna)
A picture of ancient life without its music is painfully incomplete: everyday life and school, sacrifices and theater, poetry and gladiatorial games, everything had its own sound. In this lecture on antiquity, Dr. Stefan Hagel goes on a search for traces and explains how music archeology tries to find this sound at least partially again based on texts, visual evidence and instrument finds.
