…is bringing sounds of times long past to
life again. By research of ancient music and reconstruction of ancient
instruments they successfully revive archaic sounds and forgotten
melodies.
The group Musica Romana was founded in 2001 and unites archaeologists,
historians,ethnologist, musicians and interested technicians sharing an
interest in Experimental Archaeology, Living History, museal
paedagogics and of course, music and dance. We are having a lot of fun
researching, planning and reconstructing our instruments correctly in
detail, as well as studying, composing and rehearsing our music. We aim
to make the music of times long gone comprehensible to our modern
audience, to express our love for unconventional and non-commercial
music and to respect scientific correctness towards the ancient sources
of musical theory as well as towards contemporary research.
