Description

Music was everywhere in ancient Egypt: in the fields, in the temple, on the parade ground, and in the home. Songs and compositions were a part of daily life, and abundant evidence survives for the art of musicianship in the ancient world. In this compilation, we explore some of the notable evidence for ancient Egyptian music. We look at instruments, musicians and songs, unpacking the artwork and texts from this ancient profession. We also have interviews! Jeffrey Goodman and Michael Levy come on the show to discuss their work recreating ancient instruments and soundscapes...Music Credits:Flute: Erik the Flutemaker (Youtube) (Website)Sistrum: Tahya of HathorSystrum (Youtube) (Website)Harp: Michael Levy (Website)Prayer: Michael Atherton (Website)Drums: Jeffrey Goodman (Youtube) (Website)Michael Levy: https://ancientlyre.com/Jeffrey Goodman: https://www.jeffreygoodmanmusic.com/More informationMini Episode(s): Music in Ancient Egypt – The History of Egypt Podcast (egyptianhistorypodcast.com)Interview: Michael Levy – The History of Egypt Podcast (egyptianhistorypodcast.com)Logo: A blind (?) harper from the Tomb of Nakht, New Kingdom.
