bring us together”

The Ancient Greeks were the first people that made songs and
were able to remember them without being able to read or sneak a
peek at them. In fact, that was absolutely fascinating for the time
they were living in, I mean without any writings nobody, besides
them, was able to sing a song as long as Omiros’ <<Odyssey>>.
Nowadays, we can’t make it without any notebooks or books that
give us the chance to figure something out for example sometimes
when we aren’t sure about our history lesson we open our books
and look at the text we have to learn by heart.
Ancient Greek Musical
Instruments and songs that are saved until
now

Now here is some information about the ancient Greek culture
and especially about their music:
By the term <<Ancient Greek>> music we call the whole musical
culture that came with the ancient Greek history and is studied
mainly from the 8th century BC onwards as before this season
there are few and limited songs. In Cycladic culture (late 3rd
millennium B. C.) are found musical performances that used harp
and channel.
In Minoan civilization (middle 2nd millennium BC) are found
musical performances that depict musicians with lyre and
channel.
In Mycenaean culture (2nd millennium BC) musical performances
are found that depict musicians with lyre and channel as well as
other instruments from cultures of Mesopotamia and Asia. They
also constructed theatres with excellent acoustic.

To sum up, we can all figure out that without the ancient Greeks we
wouldn’t have songs, music or even instruments or, if we would, they
would have been invented much later and they wouldn’t be as
developed as they are now. So we all understand that we owe many
things of our daily life and culture to the Ancient Greeks.
Musical instruments:
As for their musical instruments, these were strings, percussion and
wind instruments. The strings were commonly type of lyre, as
Chelys, barbitos, guitar, formigx, Psalter, in the late seventh century BC
at least dates the harp (Triangulum), while by the end of the 4th century
BC the ancient testified pandoyrides (stringed lute type), which are
considered to be ancestors of the modern tamboura and bouzouki, both
construction and etymologically.

Τhe instruments were usually single or double, lances, with dual
glwssida
typically, like the current zournas and syringes, monokalames or
polykalames. Classic Greek literature had become a combination of
the lyre (or guitar) with the flute. Another instrument of the era is
the hydraulis, which, due to the large volume of sound, often used
on festive and sporting events (e.g. racing).
Percussion was the krembala or rattles, drums, cymbals, as well as
various Syrinx and bells (bells). Using percussion was not so
widespread in the ancient Greek musical scene, as in Dionysian rites
orgiastikoy character, where was using mainly drums, bells and
kymbalα.

●Introduction
Greek music has not only influenced the music of the world, Greek culture
has offered and accepted influences by other countries and until now it
shares linguistic, traditional and cultural elements with them. One of
these countries is Turkey.
Our research includes aspects of the culture and traditions of the two
neighboring countries that bring to surface impressive similarities which
have influenced the two nations in many ways during the centuries. They
appear in the language with common words, in musical instruments, in
traditional dances and costumes, in modern dances, in eating habits and
food specialties. Regarding these aspects of every day life, we realize that
what is known to us is familiar to them. Our collaboration with Kecioren
Anatolian High School has offered us the opportunity to open paths of
communication through the English language and made us realize that
music and common words can bring us together, to look ahead, to bridge
gaps and promote friendship and solidarity between the two nations.

Greek music: its origin
● Greek music separates into two parts: Greek
traditional music and Byzantine music, with more
eastern sounds. These compositions have existed for
millennia. They originated in the Byzantine period
and Greek antiquity, where there is a continuous
development which appears in the language, the
rhythm, the structure and the melody. Greek music
has many similarities with the music of Cyprus.
Their modern popular music scenes remaining well-
integrated with one another. Music is a significant
aspect of Greek culture, both within Greece and
among the Greeks living abroad.

Traditional Greek musical
instruments
Bouzouki is a stringed lute popular musical
instrument, with pear-shaped resonator
(ship) of elongated wooden strips, the
NTOUGIA and long arm, arm or neck with
keys aside for restringing. Three or four
doubles, and sometimes odd, strings which
hits the musician with a small button on

considered like all the lutes, as a kind of
transformation of ancient Pandoura.

traditional music is mainly used as
accompaniment of violin, the Lyra or
other organs.

Cretan lyra
The Cretan lyra (Greek: Κρητική λύρα)
is a Greek pear-shaped, three-stringed
bowed musical instrument, central to the
traditional music of Crete and other
islands in the Dodecanese and the
Aegean Archipelago, in Greece. The
Cretan lyra is considered as the most
popular surviving form of the medieval
Byzantine lyra, an ancestor of most
European bowed instruments.

Clarinet
The clarinet is a wind instrument. In its
present form emerged in the 19th
century. The clarinet currently holds a
key position in the symphony
orchestra, and belongs to the woodwind.
Very common are the clarinet as a
member of jazz orchestras. In
Greece, where the name prevailed

countries, is one of the key instruments
of traditional music.

affinity with the Greek song through …. many exchanges
and transactions, overt and hidden, with Greek singers and
musicians. With Haris Alexiou they have made some joint
appearances abroad but have not yet completed anything in
discography. She has sung several Greek songs in
Turkish, and other times she wrote lyrics to famous songs
which were sung by other voices. Many of her own songs
have been sung in Greek , but not always related to their
original source, and sometimes discovered imports and
musical themes from her songs to songs of famous singers.

There where they were eating and drinking
and there where they making merry,
a little bird came and sat down on top the

and it didn't sing like a bird,
not even like a swallow,
it only spoke, and it said
in human speech:
You, you are eating and drinking
and you, here, you are partying,
but the Turks have landed in Poli *
and are laying it in ruins.

Information
The traditional Turkish costumes have
changed with the passage of time. They
are made of a wide variety of materials.
Cotton, sheepskin, fur, wool, leather, silk
etc. Their costumes were both fashionable
and functional because they needed to be
wearing a costume that would enable them
to ride horses with comfort and ease. That
is why there is similarity between women‟s
and men‟s costumes! Leather boots and
head covering were also part of the
costume of the Turks. There is an
influence between Greek and Turkish
traditional costumes!

COMMON GREEK
AND
TURKISH DISHES

●The two countries have also influenced each
other in the section of food. Their common words
are the words of food, of flavours and of tastes the
two cultures have shared over the centuries.
Traditional dishes of Greece and Turkey

The word "dolma" in Turkish means
"stuff." The Sarma is a fairly broad
category comestible comprising the
filled peppers, the stuffed eggplant
etc. Most often, however, used for the
stuffed vine leaf (or cabbage, in
regions of North Laz Turkey).
The Turkish grape leaves are divided
into two main categories: kiyma, the
stuffing is made from the meat,
onion, pine nuts, rice with spices and
olive oil and served warm with yogurt
and classic stuffed, which is the same
recipe without meat, with some extra
spices and seasonings, served at room
temperature (our own vine gialantzi).

Περέσκια MANTI
Pereskia MANDI

ΝΤΟΛΜΑΔΕΣ ΠΑΠΟΥΤΣΑΚΙΑ
DOLMADES PAPOYTSAKIA

MANTI-MANDI-Tatar böregi
Manti are Turkish dumpling popular in most
Turkish cuisines and also in Caucasian , Central
Asian and in Chinese cuisines, closely related to
the east Asian In Turkey it is called Tatar böregi
(Tatar bureks), which indicates its relation to
nomadic people. Ottoman recipes have survived
since the 15th century with the manti filled with
pounded lamb and crushed
chickpeas, steamed,which in Greece is served
topped with yogurt mixed with crushed garlic and
sprinkled with sumac. Mantis are popular
throughout the former Soviet Union, where the
dish was spread from the Central Asian republics.

In Turkish cuisine, manti is typically served
topped with yogurt and garlic and spiced with
red pepper powder and melted butter, and
topped with ground sumac or dried mint by the
consumer. Although there are many different
variations of manti, in terms of shape and way
of serving, the most praised type of manti is
known as Kayseri Mantisi, a special kind of
manti belong to Kayseri, an Anatolian city of
Turkey. The characteristics of Kayseri Mantisi
is that it is very tiny and it is served with
yogurt, oil (caramelized with tomato paste), and
seasonings.

Kayseri Mantisi is also served with the water it was
boiled in, and often in Kayseri it is consumed as a
soup prior to the main dish. Another interesting fact;
in Kayseri when a couple is in arrangements to be
married, the mother of the groom visits the bride's
house and during this visit the bride should prepare
manti for her prospective mother-in-law. The smaller
the manti dumplings are, the more the bride is
considered to be skillful in the kitchen. Traditionally
the dumplings prepared for the prospective mother-in
law are supposed to be so small that 40 of them can
be scooped up with one spoon. Turkish manti
resembles tortellini.

with an oat meat filling mixed with meat or giblets. Sweet-
based fillings could include stewed or fresh fruit , jam, or
cottage cheese; The buns may be plain and stuffed with the
filling, or else be made in a free-form style with strips of
dough decoratively encasing the filling
Piroski are common as fast food on the streets of the Central

Southwest Asia. Baklava is also cooked in Greece with the
