  • At the Moisa conference in Oxford 2017 ( • Rediscovering Ancient ... ) I played this improvisation on the Bellermann exercise No. 35. I used a reproduction of the Louvre aulos made by Robin Howell.

    Thanks to Barnaby Brown for the recording.

      Haha, I was just watching that same video and immediately stopped it to look up Callum when I heard him playing.
      I was like, "I've got to have more of this!!"

    I grew up reading about Greek mythology and ancient Greece in general, and I've always wondered what their music sounded like. It couldn't have been anything like ours now, after all. Now, I have that answer and I am more than satisfied with it

      this one is actually an improv piece made during a performance, but you can look into actual ancient pieces reconstructed if you search up videos about ancient greek music reconstruction, etc.. one of my favorites is Euripedes Orestes!

    Maestro thank you very much, even if a few years ago I had listened to it, today unconsciously while I was listening to it I had goosebumps, I was shaking all over, and I cried very hard and several times. Something suggested to me that I had already listened to music like this (especially the first part) in the past.

    This angers me so much because I come across commentators
    "ALL ANCIENT PEOPLE SOUND LIKE THERE 4 YEARS OLD"
    It's like if they only knew Callum's mastery on these ancient pieces it would shatter there whole entire realities.
    I too was once like them thinking ancient music was so rustic, crude, and gross.
    Callum presents the ancients as I imagine, Vibrant, full of beauty, and new hope.
    Civilization coming together,
    The experience and cherishing of catharsis and the human experience.
    Evern the odysses showed us this in the humanities, as King Aggamemenon beseached Achilles and pleased for his Son Hector to be returned for a proper burial.
    Showing the reality of human starkness.

      Check out what Launeddas sounds like, they were invented before the bronze age. Made entirely with reeds and beeswax. In Sardinia they still play some old pieces from the past.
