Fun fact: the organ was invented in the third century B.C. by an engineer in Alexandria. When the Romans adopted it from the Greeks, they played it in the arena during gladiatorial combat. It was a very profane instrument, about the furthest thing from what the early Christians would consider appropriate to play during the service. To them, having an organ play would basically be the equivalent of playing cheap arena rock in a church. However, it did find its way into the Late Roman/Byzantine imperial ceremonies and in 757, Emperor Constantine V donated one to Frankish King Pepin the Short as a token of respect and demonstration of Roman engineering. It was Charlemagne who's responsible for the organ's introduction in a church context, as he requested one for his chapel in Aachen from the Easter Roman Emperor in 812 after the other one broke. Took a few more centuries for it to become established in churches though

I don't believe there was any music notation from the Classic Roman Empire. It wasn't until later in the Byzantine Empire that there was. In Western Europe though music notation came into existence around 1000ish(?). This guy is just improvising with a kind of medieval flare actually. But it still sounds great.

​@@Oceananswer We studied an old system of music notation called "Neumes" in class before, and it genuinely peaked my interest. Although writing music down in a literary form may seem cliche now, all the way back in the 7th Century a man named "Isidore of Seville" outright claimed that it was impossible for a man to write music down on paper. So it is genuinely interesting how one time we thought we could not put such an abstract form of art and entertainment such as music down on paper, and now more than a thousand years later we could do it with ease. It really makes you think about the things that we cannot currently describe or put onto paper nowadays, but things we someday will be able to.

@@charlesdoeseverything9716 Though to be fair even sheet music struggles a lot with completely capturing all the unspoken nuances of playing style for the time. It's real interesting hearing a "modern" orchestra playing say a Bach piece, and then a "hardcore baroque nerd" one that tries their best to use recreated period instruments and techniques. Both following the sheet music, just what set of assumptions "fill in the gaps" Still a HUGE advantage over simply hoping it lives on in unbroken oral tradition of course!

@@Oceananswer I have an CD with Greek music from B.C. It is an experiment of an ensemble. In the booklet it stands that the Greeks used two different types of notation. In some old greek temple they found the notations of songs carved in stone, and they used the Greek letters to write down music. They used several dozent letters to have a tonation system. Probably it was kind of experimental this time, so they developed at least two different systems as far as we know.

In the early 1960s I remember getting a children's record album of King Arthur and the knights. It was a dramatized tale, but was punctuated by a soundtrack of pipe organ music. I asked my father if there were pipe organs in the days of King Arthur. He said there were, because the Romans had them. There is a pipe organ in Italy, still played today, that was built before Columbus. It is good to hear what a Roman pipe organ sounded like.

Most of our music is made with major and minor, and the odd blues scale. But these are both relatively modern inventions. Blues was 20th century(?), and Major and Minor *technically* came about only around the 1600s. Until then, in the Renaissance and before, they used modes (two of which later morphed into major and minor.) They are quite different and perhaps "boring" sounding to us who are now used to what we are used to. The modes were based on ancient roman and greek scales as well! They sound similar because: a) one is based upon the other, and b) they're both equally as rare to hear nowadays How similar are they really? I've no idea. I'm sure some theorist somewhere reconstructed it. But reconstructions' accuracy will always be tainted by what's current.

Hydraulis was invented by the great ancient Greek mathematician, engineer and inventor Ctesebious, in the 3d century B.C. He was best known mainly for his following achievements: A. Plumbing. the Cylinder Piston the curved siphon . the Pressure Pump . The first press machine to have two pistons capable of delivering 105 litres/minute. the Depression-suction pump , manual still used by firefighters today, resembles a see-saw. the Hydraulic Clock and the Hydraulic Musical Instrument ( Hydraulos ), the first keyboard and polyphonic instrument in history which is also the first harmonium . B. Military. Remote weapons . Steam engines that operated with compressed air. Hoist . A heavy lifting machine that operated with water pressure. Hydraulic catapults . Catapults whose belts or ropes were stretched hydraulically. Hourglass . Astronomical hydraulic instrument - chronometer. The Hourglass of Ctesibius was also called hydraulis , in contrast to the hydraulus , which was called the musical instrument.

Otherwise it would be like an accordeon, where sound is directly proportional to how hard you're pumping at that very millesecond. An organ needs steadier pressure.

It was invented some 2,400 years ago and is the ancestor of all the church organs you have ever heard. The reason organs are associated with Christian churches is because many early churches were converted Roman buildings called basillicas and performances of these organs were often listened to by ancient Romans in those same buildings and the early Christians simply adopted the use of the instrument. Over the next couple of thousand years people learned how to make them larger and more complex, but they had this kind of humble beginnings.

@@VSMF The Roman organ was developed by applying mechanical principles to the pan pipes to increase volume and the range of sounds being made. The keyboard had a lot to do with increasing sophistication of music from them. There are several people credited with it’s invention, and it is probably more correct to suggest that these were important people in introducing various aspects of the instrunment, but that its development was likely an organic process across time. Ctesebius of Alexandria was one of these early developers of organs as an example. Reinvention has never stopped. Leonardo da Vinci invented a portable type of organ instrument, and of course modern electronic organs and electric keyboards and synthesisers are just the current generation of organ development. Christians usually like to claim they invented everything. For example, the Bible’s story of Noah’s ark is plagiarized from much older Sumerian flood myths and was probably absorbed from ancient Mesopotamian sources during the Babylonian exile and subsequently weaved into their own genesis myths. Christmas trees and gift giving are another very ancient practice, in this case was practiced by the Romans, and they probably took it from older, possibly Sumerian practices. The green conifer tree represented regrowth after the shortest day of the Northern Hemisphere. Unable to stamp out the popular Pagan practice the early Christians simply adopted it and applied their newer Jesus mythology to it.
