(Verdi, Evening Nile Temple Chorus) Di, Shakuhachi, Shamsen The chronological span separating us from the musicians of the ancient world, as well as the cultural changes which have taken place over the centuries, complicate the search for authentic sound and performance technique. In spite of these obstacles Verdi composed a score for Aida that evokes the exotic mood and atmosphere of ancient Egypt so convincingly that it has been remarked that If ancient Egyptian music did not sound anything like Aida (as in fact it did not), then it should have. Among the facts known about the music of ancient Egypt is that lutes and flutes were employed. The three Instruments in this recording are constructed from non-synthetic materials (both the DI and Shakuhachl from bamboo, Shamisen strings from silk), and the resulting subdued and subtle tone colors produced may not be so different from anything the ancient Egyptians may have experienced and enjoyed. | ||
