Incarnation of the Goddess: Ancient Greek Music and Myths. Theocharakis Foundation of Arts and Music. thf.gr/el/
Musician and Classicist, Bettina Joy de Guzman, and storyteller Vasileia Vaxevani invite the community to walk a path that interweaves ancient Greek Music, poetry and myth with our contemporary essence.
Why are the mother goddesses of Ancient Greek myth- Rhea, Demeter, Leto, and Thetis- still relevant today? The simple answer is that we see ourselves reflected in them, and they in us. But what aspects, exactly, do we mean? They are the divine partners of gods, the mothers who birthed powerful beings, dangerous and chaotic to the ordered world and cosmos. Are we that important? Are we truly comparable to them? We are. Each of our worlds we create as women, mothers, or partners, or all the above affect other lives directly. Mothers create a world, a dynasty that lasts forever. Our actions- how we raise our children, how they model themselves after us, how we treat our families and members of our communities- will echo throughout time.
Program:
Each poem will unravel as storytelling and musical performance.
Vasileia will tell the tale of the goddesses in English, followed by Bettina performing excerpts of the Ancient Greek text with a replica Ancient Greek lyre.
After the performance, the audience can ask questions and post comments.
Songs and Myths
To Rhea: Orphic Hymn 14
To Leto - Orphic Hymn 35
To Demeter - Homeric Hymn 2
Thetis and Achilles - Iliad Books 1 & 9
To Gaia- Homeric Hymn 30
To Hygeia- Orphic Hymn 68
The Orphic Hymns are a collection of 87 short poems composed anytime from 3rd century A.D. during the Roman Imperial Age or as early as 4th century BC during the Hellenistic Period. Some scholars believe it had much earlier oral traditions. They are based on the beliefs of the religious philosophy called Orphism, related to the mythical hero Orpheus.
TO LETO,
(incense - myrrh)
Dark-veiled Leto, revered goddess and mother
of twins，
great-souled daughter of Koios, queen to whom many pray,
to your lot fell the birth pains for Zeus' fair child.
You bore Phoibos and arrow-pouring Artemis, her on Ortygia and him on rocky Delos.
Hear, lady goddess, and with favor in your heart come to this all-holy rite and bring sweet end.

It is proven that Byzantine Music is based on Ancient Music. Ioannis Koukouzelis was a prominent composer of Byzantine music. Byzantine music uses a whole tone made up of 9 Pythagorean commas. There are 13 types of tonal divisions to give all the sounds needed for the complete repertoire. There are 32 modes used. The music has a notational system that has 11 signs for the different types of intervals...[ 5 ascending and 5 descending...one sign is for no change from the previous pitch]It can be played on the Lavta that has markings for the pitches used. Lavta politiko...or the lute of the City(Constantinople).
I described Byzantine music because ancient music is less well understood tonally. The meter is understood from the ancient meters of poetry. Ancient music has also Anatolian modes like Lydian and Phrygian. These were not Greek. Inscriptions in these languages exist in their special alphabets. Ruins are also present and visited by many tourists.
im so happy i came across this. thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! Youre amazing.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much!🙏
I love this! If I may ask a bit about your process, was there a rationale behind deciding which of the polytonic pitch accents to incorporate and which to leave out? I noticed that you sing a lot of the circumflexes, which sound beautifully haunting in your rendition
thank you so much! When studying ancient music that has both lyrics and music notes like Athenaios' paean to Apollo, you will notice that the composer did not always follow pitch, so I can only conclude that, like me, he sometimes followed a melody that makes sense to him, and made the lyrics make more sense, rather than strictly following pitch when spoken.
