Suoni e strumenti musicali nel mondo antico : per un sistema disciplinare e metodologico integrato

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

The focus of this volume is on realia, musical instruments and sounding objects kept in museums, and their representation. They are part of a musical culture, only apparently lost, of the peoples to which they belonged. To understand the significance they had in the ancient world, it is necessary to share multi and interdisciplinary methodologies and perspectives that allow both the valorisation of indicators of activities related to sound, music and dance in the archaeological record and the contextualised reading of the musical object as a significant component of the artifact. The book is an innovative example of dialogue between musicological, archaeological, physical and engineering disciplines that offers the reader not only a perspective on the music of antiquity and the ways in which it is used and transmitted, but a broader cultural perspective, against which to listen in order to understand and value man and the human.
