ISLE 13.3: Ancient Greek Music

1 of 2

Which of the following is accurate regarding how the ancient Greeks would “write” music?

They used a form of written notation that is clearly the foundation for what is used today.

There is no evidence that a written notation system was used.

There are written descriptions of music, along with illustrations of various instruments, but unfortunately no evidence of written music has survived that can be examined.

The “composition” system used letters to represent what today we would call pitch.
