I love how the only music we hear throughout this whole thing is a mind-numbing, five second, sleepy core loop. This video feels like it was made by an AI after watching a bunch of shitty clickbait.

Agreed. When he said "Keep watching to find out." My eyes just about rolled out of my head. Just say it now. It's so easy to make this topic interesting because it is. You must have to try hard to fail. At least there was some information in it that was basically correct if a little phoned in. I've seen worse. But it was bad.

Exactly.

It seems like we know so very little about secular music from this time. Also, I know there was this monophonic tradition usually called Gregorian chanting and that over time developed into a more varied kind of monophony then eventually into true polyphony and finally into homophonic music. But the ancient Greeks were already accompanying their voice with a lyre centuries earlier. So, how? My guess is that it's a convenient starting place and we know what it sounded like. We can get an idea of what the Greeks sounded like but we don't really know for sure. It still seems a bit odd that music appreciation class glosses over all that time so completely.

It’s not that it’s glossed over. The earliest form of music actually being notated did not exist until the 9th century and sound recording not until the late 18th century.. Music scholars can only make an educated guess of what that sounded like before that time based off instruments/text we know existed.

Sound recording didn’t exist until the late 19th century I mean. Lol.

Just what I said. It's a convenient starting point that one can then trace the evolution of music from. But there was a lot before it.

This sounds like a robot. I hope it's not a paid voice actor.

Lol. The most lethargic actor of all time. His interpretation of Hamlet was so bold don't you think? "So, uh, ta be er not to be er sumthin."

This sounds like a textbook being read over a loop of, I don't know, artificially-created "jazz"? Where are the musical examples showing the differences in the eras? Unless you are intimately familiar with music from these two periods, you are not likely to learn anything about differences in sound, harmony, instrumentation, ornamentation (but if you intimately familiar with music from these two periods, you don't need to take four and a half minutes of your life to watch this video). Very disappointing.

AI fake voices are not for me. I'd rather read and pronouce the words correctly.

This is sn AI generated video. Best to avoid.
