Wrong! It can. With such accuracy that the Chinese used the sound of a bell as a standard measure, Notes are nothing but frequencies of vibration. A given bronze vessel's volume creates a given note and a string from a given length can return the same note, thus we have volume and length. We can take one note and with a notation in hand divide it in segments or multiply it. The possibilities are finite. Add a bit of common sense and taste to eliminate discordancies and voila.

To me this version of Orestes Stasimon sound perfect and convincing. As to the authenticity one can never be sure, but on the one hand there is the interesting scientific task to figure out the actual sound of a score while on the other hand one can use ancient scores as a basis to make new music. Both are valuable I think.

To whom are asking about the scales and measurement of this kind of music or telling this is not from ancient Greek music, read Grout & Palisca - History of Western Music. There are many scholars working very hard on this kind of music, they are working on understanding the text with music measurement and the language and how to play the music. We cannot play the music like it was at that time, but they are doing their best!

@macpduff of course it can't be transfered but this is why we have this thing called science. thanks to pythagoras... even though we don't know how to play the special ornaments of ancient greek music but we can hear how the scale sounds. yet, some ancient scores found by archeologists have been transcribed. i'm sure you've heard epitaph of seikilos. best regards from istanbul.

This music isn't actually from ancient Greece, it's written by a modern composer interpreting the style of the time and basing it on ancient Greek verse.

The orchestration is nuts and the pronunciation is modern, but it's nice to hear ancient music performed with SPIRIT. I first heard this track when my middle school class put on the Oresteia, and it kind of...changed my life, at that tender age.
