About this Item
edited by Angela Bellia. Istituti editoriali e poligrafici internazionali, 2020, pp. 124 con figure in bianco/nero n.t. -- This current volume is intended to explore visual and archaeological evidence, as well as literary and epigraphic written sources, which inform us that musical and choral performances were an important part of many cults and rituals performed in spaces and architectural buildings of the ancient world. Despite it being difficult to ascertain whether specific spaces were intended for the performance of music and dance through archaeological records, the essays featured in this book raise the notion that particular architectural features might have facilitated music and dance performances. Contributing authors were asked to address music and dance which took place not only in dedicated musical settings and dance floors in purpose-built spaces in the forecourts of the sanctuaries, but also instances of performance along processional streets and around altars and cult statues, as well as on monumental steps and in dining rooms in a sacred context. Together, the papers cover different regions and a broad chronological span. Furthermore, most papers present archaeological material that has either been recently discovered or is published here for the first time. Il volume che qui si presenta vuole esplorare le testimonianze visive e archeologiche, nonché le fonti scritte letterarie ed epigrafiche, che ci informano che le esibizioni musicali e corali erano una parte importante di molti culti e rituali eseguiti negli spazi e negli edifici architettonici del mondo antico. Nonostante sia difficile accertare se spazi specifici fossero destinati all'esecuzione di musica e danza attraverso i resti archeologici, i saggi presentati in questo libro sollevano l'idea che particolari caratteristiche architettoniche potrebbero aver facilitato gli spettacoli di musica e danza. Agli autori è stato chiesto di indirizzare la propria attenzione alla musica e alla danza che si sono svolte non solo in ambienti musicali e sale destinate alla danza appositamente costruiti nei cortili esterni dei santuari, ma anche alle rappresentazioni lungo le strade processionali e intorno agli altari e alle statue di culto, nonché sulle scalinate monumentali e negli ambienti per i banchetti, in un contesto sacro. Allo stesso tempo, i contributi riguardano diverse regioni e un ampio arco cronologico. Inoltre, la maggior parte degli articoli presenta materiale archeologico che è stato scoperto di recente o pubblicato qui per la prima volta. Contents: Angela Bellia, Acknowledgements. Abbreviations.
