This is a captivating story of music-making at social recreations
from Homeric times to the age of Augustine. It tells about the
music itself and its purposes, as well as the ways in which people
talked about it, telling anecdotes, picturing musical scenes,
sometimes debating what kind of music was right at a party or a
festival. In straightforward and engaging prose, the author covers
a remarkably broad history, providing the big picture yet with
vivid and nuanced descriptions of concrete practices and events. We
hear of music at aristocratic parties, club music, people's
music-making at festivals, political uses of music at the court of
Alexander the Great and in the public banquets of Roman emperors in
the Colosseum, opinions of music-making at social meals from Plato
to Clement of Alexandria, and much more, making the book a
treasure-trove of information and a fascinating journey through
ancient times and places.
