Thanks for posting this, Norman.
Unfortunately the Hurrians/Armenians didn’t give sufficient thought to the royalty possibilities. Bummer for them.
Nice headline, but let’s look a little more carefully.
Any real musicologists around to tell us what the notation really specifies?
My understanding about ancient Greek music is that the notation is totally inadequate for a modern performance. Any performances tell us more about the performer than about ancient Greece. My hasty research on the above hymn points to the same direction, but I could be wrong.
