Document Details : Title: Interpreting and Staging Music in Ancient Southwest Asia and Beyond Subtitle: Review Article of The Study of Musical Performance in Antiquity: Archaeology and Written Sources Author(s): SÁNCHEZ MUÑOZ, Daniel Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 79 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2022 Pages: 29-44 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.79.1.3291007 Abstract : The contents of The Study of Musical Performance in Antiquity: Archaeology and Written Sources (Newcasle-upon-Tyne, 2018) are discussed in depth in this review article, including some preliminary methodological considerations about the notion of ‘performance’. Some lines of research advanced in the reviewed volume are encouraged to continue in the future. The reviewer also discusses the question of ‘musical performance’ as ‘musical staging’: may we talk about the existence of concerts already in Antiquity? Are they as recent as musicology traditionally asserts? |
