Forming a bridge between past and present among different cultural networks, understanding Byzantine music requires the tools of multiple disciplines. This presentation provides and overview of the history of Byzantine music, answering these questions: How was music performed during the Byzantine period? What do we know about the music of that specific period concerning performers, instruments, and musical events? Through which sources do we gather information on Byzantine music? How was Byzantine music written? Can we understand the written sources on Byzantine music now? Besides looking at the history and study of Byzantine music, this presentation also offers an interdisciplinary path to understand Byzantine music through historical, cultural, and musicological research and examples from re-interpretations of Byzantine music together with examples from Byzantine chant.<\/p>\n<p>Biographies<\/p>\n<p>Cenk G\u00fcray<br \/>\nHe received his Ph.D. from Ankara University with a thesis entitled \u201cA Survey on the Relation between Belief and Music in Anatolia based on the concepts of Sema and Semah\u201d.
