A wonderful bit of playing and singing by Peter Pringle. From the video description:
"THE EXALTATION OF #INANNA was written in #Sumerian by the daughter of Sargon The Great, the High Priestess of Inanna in the city of #Ur, a woman by the name of #Enheduanna. What you hear in this video, are the first twelve lines of the EXALTATION, sung in Sumerian, and accompanied on a scale #replica of the remarkable “Gold #Lyre of Ur”, discovered in the 1920’s by British archaeologist Sir Leonard Woolley.
Enheduanna was born more than 4,000 years ago, and she is the first named author of a literary work that we know of. Her writings and her history are well documented on the internet, and if you are interested in learning more about her, I refer you to a wonderful website called “enheduana ‘dot’ net”."
The description also talks a bit more about the lyre, exaltation, and his approach. #music #AncientMusic #archaeomusicology #musodons #histodons

In case you've been eying up some #music on #BandCamp, 3 March is another BandCamp #Friday where your support of #artists and #Musicians, etc. will have the most impact, because BandCamp will wave it's fees once again.

An interesting video started on the question: "Did #Ancient #Greek #music come from #Japan?"
Of course NOT!!! But it does touch on a really important trap that a lot of people fall into: hierarchical and linear thinking. And, Farya does a great job of explaining this fallacy, and the (ugh!) #musical evolutionism that underlines it. Since this is one of my regular rant subjects and 328%-confirmed pet peeves, I'm letting someone else do the talking for a change.

A #musical #instrument #challenge
Based on this 22-second audio clip what instrument is this?
10 points for the correct answer, a combination of lower points if you're close; geographically, culturally, etc, but I won't say in what way. Feel free to discuss and collaborate. You've got until 8PM CET when I'll reveal the answer. Boosts appreciated.
PS. @khomus may not participate due to knowledge of my instrument collection.

I've just become aware of a #book I may want to pick up. It was published yesterday. I know several of the contributors personally, so I know it'll be good.
"21st Century #Guitar: Evolutions and Augmentations" by Richard Perks, John McGrath (Anthology Editors).
Here's more info, plus where to get it: https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/21st-century-guitar-9781501373305/

Today I've apparently got the #JurassicPark #soundtrack by the excellent #JohnWilliams in my head, which means I'll probably need to rewatch that now (yikes!) Nearly 30-year-old #film.
Here's Welcome to Jurassic Park arranged for #ClassicalGuitar. There are some really tricky bits in here, but very skilfully and beautifully played nonetheless.

I'm #curious, so a #poll. Have you ever heard the #song "Space Queen" by 10 Speed?
It's one of those songs that is very little known, probably because this trio's #album was never officially released due to a reorganisation at the record label. Oddly enough, it did get some air-time on Dutch radio because a Dj loved the song. I think it's a fun, awesome and unique song.

I'm not a fan of #Christmas, nor its associated #music, but I do like bringing up this little gem. #Banjo player, Béla Fleck and his talented band, including Victor Wooten on #bass, playing 12 Days of Christmas, but… Each day is in a different #key and #meter. Such #musical #geekery makes it far better IMO. Also briefly features a vocal contribution by the Alash ensemble.
So, a #challenge to #musodons, #musician/s and #musicology people, can you work it out?

What is the worst way you can come up with for an indie musician to promote their music, the most stupid and funny suggestion wins one of my Bandcamp albums.

Given that it'll be #Krampusnacht, this is #Krampus by #Feuerschwanz, which they released almost a year ago. Und natürlich, Liedtext auf Deutch, umm, und etwas teufliches Latein.
Warning: contains a Glöckchen that goes klingelingeling, in case you want to avoid such things for a while still.
Anyway: Past gut auf, ihr Kinder!
