Today, we will talk about music from the ancient Greek era. Music was created and developed in various places around the world. The speed of development may have been different in each region. The ancient Greek culture, which can be considered the starting point of Western culture, can also be seen as a very important source that laid the foundation for modern European culture. It had the most splendid cultural heritage, and Greek culture never failed to influence the history of each era. Let's talk about three things you must know about ancient Greek music. First, the ancient Greeks thought that music was both science and art. They thought that the harmony of numerous stars was the same as the harmonious movement of various tones that make up music, and they theorized this. (Pythagorean scale) Scientists and philosophers thought that music and celestial bodies were related, and Greek theorists called the moving orbits of the night sky 'celestial music'. ㆍ ㆍ ㆍ The Greeks' music competitions created a new category. Talented people polished their skills and became special categories. The performer began to stand out~~~ The third Greek play had music, chorus, chanting, and singing. After a long time, around 1600, in Italy, the idea of ​​conveying Greek plays through song came to mind, and the first opera was created by the Camerata, an aristocratic group that gathered to reproduce Greek music. After the Third Punic War in 146 BC, Rome emerged as the most powerful nation among ancient states, and this strong military power of Rome dominated and subjugated all the surrounding states. Greece was no exception. Since ancient Rome had no special cultural assets, it accepted the high-level Greek culture as it was. Greek music was monophonic and improvised at the time, so it could be freely transformed. Furthermore, since Greece had a systematized basic theory, Rome could easily use and enjoy music. However, when Rome thought music was just noisy... This Greek-Roman music grew even more because of the Roman Catholic Church that survived the persecution of Rome. Roman Catholicism, which refused to obey the Roman emperor... Rome sought a political breakthrough to overcome this crisis... In 313 AD, Roman Emperor Constantine I officially recognized Christianity as the religion with the Edict of Milan... In 392, Christianity was designated as the state religion, which led to the massive growth of Roman Catholicism and the beginning of classical music. Now, we are moving into the Middle Ages. The thousand-year medieval music is an important musical history that should never be overlooked.
