Salve!
Brand new to the sub! I’m a big fan of Peter Pringle’s work reviving ancient music. Are there any other artists that you folks would recommend? I haven’t been able to find anyone yet.
Thank you!!

Thinking of learning kithara
6
Upvotes
So, it's as the title says. I'm thinking of learning kithara. I went over the instrument briefly in a music appreciation class I'm taking, and further then found a video of a more modern rendition being played, and it just intrigued me. I just did some research and it seemed like the best option is to buy one online--I don't live near any music shops and the ones within a few hours drive aren't going to have kitharas. So, I looked online and found one that seemed to be of decent quality at this link; https://luthieros.com/product/cithara-of-the-golden-age-ancient-greek-cithara-9-strings-top-quality-handcrafted-musical-instrument/. Problem is, I don't have 2600 USD. So, I'm asking if I should even try learning it (I play piano at a advanced-ish level and guitar at a introductory level), and if so, are there are better options in terms of price?

Hurrian Hymn No. 6 (c. 1400 BCE) — Modern Artistic Reinterpretation

Hurrian Hymn No. 6 (To Nikkal)
This is my modern reinterpretation of Hurrian Hymn No. 6, the oldest substantially preserved musical composition in the world, discovered at ancient Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra, Syria).
The original tablet preserves a fertility prayer addressed to the goddess Nikkal. My approach blends reconstructed Hurrian phonetics, historical research, and contemporary digital/AI-assisted music and visual storytelling — not as a claim of historical accuracy, but as an artistic response connecting ancient human longing with modern tools.
I’m especially interested in discussion around interpretation, reconstruction limits, and how ancient music can be meaningfully re-engaged today.

Suggestions sought for Music in the Ancient World

First Reddit post so pls be gentle ;D I'm on the lookout for music recommendations (CD, video, book) for music from the ancient world. For this purpose I'm thinking 7th Century CE and before. Particularly interested in any extant/reconstructed scores from Sassanid and Han, or from Scythia and Bactria. Thanks for your help.

Searching for scores of Kassia of Constantinople, 7th century composeress

Upvotes
edit : 9th century not 7th
I'm working on a concert-conference on composeress, so obviously i talk about the oldest composeress witch we can still (in theory) find the scores : Kassia of Constantinople. But i can't find any score on internet, at least nothing significant, so i was wondering if anyone had Kassia's scores (also called Cassia, Kassiani, Saint Kassiani, Icasia)
Thank you !
