You’ve created a wonderful resource for personal enrichment and professional reference for music teachers like myself. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and clarity!
Keep it Classical. Very much enjoyed the video. While the Romans probably or certainly did 'copy' from the Greeks, there is nothing to say they did not write original music, perahps, on occassion, quite different in style and content, etc. Given the law of averages and the staggering number of people (for the acient world) IN Rome, I think to expect anything else is unlikely. Hope I find time to watch more of your videos.
08:04 I doubt that the word "musical" was used by Plato to mean "related to music" in our sense of the word music. I suspect that the word "musical" as used by Plato was intended to mean simply literally "of the Muses", i.e. this is a much wider category, including all the other "arts", including things like history. I suspect the expression by Plato you quoted is more accurately translated as making a distinction between what we call physical exercise (on the one side), and intellectual training/education (on the other side).
If "they" cared to share the secrets of antiquity then history itself would break the current system. It was made to be boring but truth be told it's quite far from it the further you dig. Look at ancient Egypt for example and all of its glorious implications of working electricity to the possibility of Extraterrestrial life. 😁
Yay finally someone mentions mesopotamians in music history!! My people! I'm so glad you are making these videos Dr. Nielsen
Thank you! Definitely more on the way.

oh nice to see the objective development with the development of the philosophical perspectives of the what music has meant throughout the ages
Ouch. Right in the banjo... 😂 Please give Béla Fleck's Perpetual Motion album a listen.
I'm in love with your videos. Burst out laughing with the banjo part!!
I am so loving your videos!! Thank you thank you 🙏
Wow, a blast from the past.
Merci beaucoup.
Thank you, Matthew!
super helpful video, its hard to get through the books.. thanks!
Glad to be able to help!
Weknow more about Mesopotamian music than we know about Greek music. All Greek manuscripts we have are copies of the early middleages!
Excellent videos! So grateful! Question: can you recommend a book on the musics of antiquity? Or, alternatively, a global music history?

True, we just don't have the same physical evidence from the Romans like we do the Greeks.
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos!!!
Thank you!
great video, thanks!
As a classically trained brass player who is also a banjo player I object to this banjo slander 😤

Hi! I loved your video! Would you permit me to translate and insert portuguese subtitles in your video?
Howard Bannister is my spirit animal.
Same
Can you list sources?
They're now listed in this video and covered in my video about sources.
