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’.
