Ancient Greek Double Pipes - 'The Frogs' composed and played on the Louvre Aulos by Callum Armstrong

Details

Description

A semi improvised piece inspired by a translation made by Dr Armand D'Angour of the "Frog Chorus" from Aristophanes´ play "The Frogs". The recurring aulos riff represents the Frogs chanting "Brekekekek koax koax", and the interjecting episodes, represent the God Dionyus complaining that they are upsetting his rowing rhythm.
