This volume started life as the proceedings of the first colloquium of the Archaeomusicology Interest Group (AMIG), within the 119th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), held in Boston, Massachusetts, January 4-7, 2018. Contributors have debated how each instrument is not an isolated unit, but a component of musical performance in cult considered as an offering to the divinity within the framework of the ritual ceremony. The aim of the conference, and its proceedings, is not only to enhance our knowledge of instruments as votive gifts by exploring and discussing the many different motives for the dedication of them to the gods, but also to study musical performances in ancient cultures as an essential component of worship and ritual. The practice of dedicating musical instruments to the gods in the ancient world - along with figurines of instruments and texts of song - is well attested by a variety of sources, temple-accounts, and the discovery during excavations of the instruments themselves, which often bear votive inscriptions. Worshippers and musicians tried to give a more lasting effect to the musical performance by dedicating instruments in honour of a god or a goddess, in the framework of the ritual ceremony.
Questo volume contiene gli Atti del primo convegno dell''Archaeomusicology Interest Group' (AMIG), nell'ambito del 119° incontro annuale dell''Archaeological Institute of America' (AIA), tenutosi a Boston, Massachusetts, dal 4 al 7 gennaio 2018. Gli autori dei contributi hanno discusso su come ogni strumento non sia un'unità isolata, ma una componente della performance musicale all'interno del culto, considerata essa stessa come un'offerta alla divinità nell'ambito della cerimonia rituale. Lo scopo della conferenza, e dei suoi Atti, non è solo quello di migliorare la nostra conoscenza degli strumenti come doni votivi, esplorando e discutendo i molti, diversi motivi per cui essi vengono dedicati agli dei, ma anche di studiare gli spettacoli musicali nelle culture antiche come una componente essenziale del culto e del rituale. La pratica di dedicare strumenti musicali agli dei nel mondo antico - insieme a figurine di strumenti e testi di canti - è ben attestata da una varietà di fonti, resoconti di templi e dalla scoperta degli strumenti stessi, spesso con iscrizioni votive, durante gli scavi. Fedeli e musicisti hanno cercato di dare un effetto più duraturo alla performance musicale dedicando gli strumenti in onore di un dio o di una dea, nel quadro della cerimonia rituale.

Abstract
This volume started life as the proceedings of the first colloquium of the Archaeomusicology Interest Group (AMIG), within the 119th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), held in Boston, Massachusetts, January 4-7, 2018. Contributors have debated how each instrument is not an isolated unit, but a component of musical performance in cult considered as an offering to the divinity within the framework of the ritual ceremony. The aim of the conference, and its proceedings, is not only to enhance our knowledge of instruments as votive gifts by exploring and discussing the many different motives for the dedication of them to the gods, but also to study musical performances in ancient cultures as an essential component of worship and ritual. The practice of dedicating musical instruments to the gods in the ancient world - along with figurines of instruments and texts of song - is well attested by a variety of sources, temple-accounts, and the discovery during excavations of the instruments themselves, which often bear votive inscriptions. Worshippers and musicians tried to give a more lasting effect to the musical performance by dedicating instruments in honour of a god or a goddess, in the framework of the ritual ceremony.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
