In order to know, we'll have to explore the true nature of the musical instrument the Ancient Greeks called... the Aulos. Subtitles are available in English and in French In this video, we used common, non-scientific ways of classifying musical instruments. Don't worry though, the Hornbostel-Sachs calssification, which is the main one used in organology (the study of musical instruments) does mainly distinguish between “flutes”, which are "edge-blown", "reed" instruments and "trumpets", the latter including any instrument with a conical mouthpiece such as the horn or the trombone. The main sources for this video are: CHAILLEY, Jacques, "La Musique Grecque Antique", Les Belles Lettres, Paris, 1979 CHAILLEY, Jacques, "Aulos", in Larousse de la Musique, 1982, p.80 (Ironically, the article "Grèce" by Margaritis on p.680 DOES mention that it is incorrect to translate "aulos" as "flute") GEVAERT, François-Auguste, "Histoire et Théorie de la Musique de l'Antiquité", 1875 HAGEL, Stefan & WYSTUCHA, Kamila, "The Mouthpiece of the Aulos Revisited", Greek and Roman Musical Studies, 2023 LANDELS, John Gray, "Music in Ancient Greece and Rome", Routledge, London, 2002 (first published 1999) (THIS IS THE ONE I RECOMMEND MOST even though it's a bit outdated) MONRO, David Binning, "The Modes of Ancient Greek Music", 1894 As well as: ANDERSON, Warren D., "Music and Musicians in Ancient Greece", Cornell University Press, 1994 BELIS, Annie, "L'Organologie des Instruments de Musique de l'Antiquité : Chronique Bibliographique", in Revue Archéologique, Nouvelle Série, Fascicule 1, Presses Universitaires de France, 1989, p. 127-142 HAGEL, Stefan, "Re-evaluating the Pompeii Aulos", in The Journal of Hellenic Studies, Vol. 128, The Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studie, 2008, p. 52-57 HAGEL, Stefan, "Understanding the Aulos Berlin Egyptian Museum 12461/12462" idk the date WILLIAMS, C. F. Abdy, "Ancient Greek Music", Proceedings of the Musical Association, 1898 The background music is the fist half part of "Seikilos Epitaph with the Lyre of Apollo" by Lina Palera (Lyre 2.0 Project player), and can be found here: https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lina_Palera_Lyre_20_Project_player/An_Appreciation/01_Seikilos_Epitaph_with_the_Lyre_of_Apollo/ The Seikilos Epitaph is one of the few extant instances of musical notation from Ancient Greece, and does serve as a basis for the track. A few additional effects have been added for ease of use as background music, but their impact is minimal. The video where @Aliakai makes the initial claim can be found here: https://youtu.be/coq6tA_4s8E The images of Stefan Hagel playing the aulos are quoted from https://youtu.be/OcHWvl16mpg The quote from the Metropolitan Museum of Arts was taken from this page: https://www.metmuseum.org/essays/medusa-in-ancient-greek-art [20/05/2025] The illustration of an oboe is from Gebrüder Mönnig, Markneukirchen The illustration of a saxophone is from the Yamaha Corporation The illustration of a trumpet is from the Yamaha Corporation The illustration of a tuba is from the Yamaha Corporation The illustration of trombone mouthpieces is from Infrogmation of New Orleans The first illustration of a saxophone mouthpiece is from wikimedia user Chocho The second illustration of a saxophone mouthpiece is from wikimedia user Dbenzhuser The illustration of a duduk is from Hrair Hratchian The illustration of double reeds is by Kamila Wyslucha, reproduced in Hagel & Wyslucha 2023 The illustration of single reeds is from the public domain The black-and-white illustration of instruments labeled "figure n°X : [instrument name]" are from Landels, "Music in ancient Greece & Rome". They are mostly reproductions of vase paintings.
