“The Companion’s editors, Tosca A.C. Lynch and Eleonora Rocconi, have compiled attentive, comprehensive, and insightful introductions to the many sub-fields of the study of Greek and Roman music, resulting in this volume’s commendable utility for non-specialists and specialists alike. The editors are further to be applauded for soliciting contributions from both established and emerging scholars and for including representation from a wide array of universities and nationalities, thus fostering a true sense of the breadth of research trends in the discipline on both sides of the Atlantic.” -- Rebecca Sears, Washington University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, BMCR 2021.07.07“At the end of their introduction, the editors write: ‘We hope that the interplay of many voices and approaches will allow readers to gain an inclusive and “polyphonic” understanding of the culture of mousikç in Greek and Roman antiquity.’ The brio with which they have orchestrated this towering composition deserves a standing ovation.” -- David Stuttard, Classics for All, July 2021
