Greek musical instruments

La music in Greece includes: poetry, music and dance. It was believed that it was given by the gods. They called it mousike, they attached great importance to inspiring muses, which has survived to this day. Man has always made music out of his own necessity, according to what he heard in the place of birth, according to his state of mind, they gave great importance to it.

Plato said that music was the basis of education, is imbued with the harmony of the Mediterranean. They wrote it with the letters of the alphabet, they had many rules, the scales formed modes, from which modern musical tones derive. Annually in Athens competitions were held, each district armed a choir and sang hymns, (dynyramb), they dressed in very beautiful ways for the occasion, giving rise to the clothing of our choirs. In theater plays they also sang to music. They liked to perform festivals in honor of the god Dionysus. Many of the musical instruments had their origin in the Middle East, the harp, the lyre (khitara), double reed flute (aulos). With their music they influenced the Roman Empire, with their liturgical songs they influenced the Renaissance. Modern music combines all of that with the influence of the Middle East, creating something of its own. It was used at funerals, weddings, births and religious festivals. Pythagoras was sure of the influence of music on the soul, he used it in medicine, he attributed an indissoluble link to health. Famous Greek musicians have been very important in XNUMXth century European modernism. At all times they have known how to combine music, singing and dancing very well.

Plato, in his work "The Republic", says that there are music that heal the soul but there are others that harm and disqualify some musicians. The famous Sitaki of Sorba the Greek is very well known, everyone who has had the opportunity to listen to it has been trapped by its beauty.
