Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it :) If native ancient Greek speakers existed we might have used one! As they don't we have drawn on the skills of the Greek singer/musician Aliki Markantonatou who specialises in ancient-style music, under the direction of ancient Greek music expert Professor Armand D'Angour, who provided guidance on pronunciation and vowel sounds as well as the musical score itself. I think you've seen our video About Sappho which has more info on the process and there's a follow-up interview with Aliki on our website's blog
Absolutely genial!
κάλλιστον τό τε μέλος καὶ τὴν προφοράν !
Θαυμαστόν γε!!
I think you need a native ancient Greek speaker but indeed the efford and the result is good!

@@TheKeeperoftheGarden Well said!
Lacking a time machine, I think this is pretty amazing to pull from a fragment of papyrus and a hint about a musical scale 🫡
