Archaeo Epitaph |

- Abstract:
- ArchaeoEpithaph is a musical composition for soloists and choir commissioned by PoliEtnico which is based on the "Epitaph of Seikilos", a Greek inscription founded in Aydin (Anatolia) and dated between the second and first century B.C. It is the oldest complete document in which poetic text, musical melodic notation and rhythmic notation expressed in lines and points may be experienced. The polyphonic elaboration maintains the melodic and rhythmic characteristics of the theme, using counterpoint and compositional procedures that aim to reuse the original material in order to reach a new expressive and artistic result. ArchaeoEpitaph will be performed during the Welcome Party from PoliEtnico Choir, and scientific lecture will present aspects of analyses and measurements of both the original theme and the polyphonic elaboration proposed by Giorgio Guiot.
