Reframing and reshaping Greek music history,

Abstract

Digitization projects across cultural sectors have revealed and gave the opportunity for researchers to shape and refocus their work around new perspectives. This meant that many new resources have been made available, sources that were not even within the scope of researchers. This has been also valid for musicologists. Through these new resources that were made available not only locally but globally, musicologists gained access into new archival repositories that were based far away or they were unknown. But these practices had another immediate effect and that was the impact that they could have to the understanding of music history in full. This is even more visible when someone is working with subjects that are set on the periphery and somehow away from the center of the established scholarship. Therefore, in this article I will be focusing on how the understanding of Greek music history has been affected and reshaped due to the ongoing revelation and wide access of various resources that have been made available towards these last years.
