If you have ITunes, I believe it's available there, and a couple of others.

I have "Musique de la Grèce Antique" by Gregorio Paniagua and "Somnia Imperii, Roman Music" composed by David Marshall (Played on reconstructed instruments by Praecones Britanniae). I like them both.
By the way, have you noticed that "Gladiator" soundtracks opening battle theme reminds very much Gustav Holst`s "Planets" opening theme "Mars, the bringer of war", which is in my opinion much better. I like very much "Alexander" soundtracks battle-themes, they are quite good too...

If you are interested in ancient music I have something new for you:
http://www.musicaromana.de/de/synpan.html
This is the new CD of Musica romana, a project from germany, playing on reconstructed instruments. They do great research with ancient papyrii and they did find several fragments of noted music they are "reenacting".
The english version of their homepage is recently under construction, but soon will be online again.
The cd I linked is very very good, but unfortunately too short...

Try google "Daemonia Nymphe" for listening MP3 samples from reconstructed Ancient instruments.
Arthes (Cristina) posted a link of someone who tries to renact homeric singing.
Kind regards

Greetings,
those Roman tracks remind me of something else I have heard.....
Why do all the Hymnes to Apollo I have heard, sound like monks chanting.....?
The Hymne Au Soleil is much more evocative.... :roll:
My opinion is that early musicians are too often thought to have no skill in the use of melody... :?
I think I prefer the Ali Jihad Racy (Hymn to Osiris and the Isis lament make me think of water birds....) or the Crusades music here....
Daemonia Nymphe are far closer to what I think ancient Greek music REALLY sounded like..... they are excellent... :wink:

I just can agree to Barbara about "Musica Romana".
The group is lead by a music-archaelogical and the booklet is a great introduction into the deep of their work.
I just can recommen (right word?) their CD.

I don't know how accurate these reconstructions are, fanciful? Reminds me of the reconstructions you eat of Roman food that tastes like so much mush. The atonality may not be right, and yes, so much sounds like droning of monks, and far too mournful.
Anyway, what there is of Roman musical notation is found on, far as I know, one scrap of papyrus in the Univ of Michigan collection

Sounds like it could be from a Roman jazz band....!
Visions of a Glenn Miller type ensemble all standing up at the appropriate time and rattling their sistums and bells at a Aulos playing conductor....well....why not :?: :roll:

Truly, I've only heard three or so of the groups, and have CD's, and they all sound rather mournful. I was extrapolating to the rest of them. I'm not sure how they come to their musical conclusions in their recordings.
