Egyptian Goddess Tefnut's Magic Rain Spell - Ancient Egyptian Music II (17 of 17) https://youtu.be/Mqp6p7Kx0Yw The Egyptian Goddesses Isis and Nephthys were sisters and wives of their brother Osiris. When their brother Set became jealous of Osiris, he sealed Osiris in a specially made box and cast it away in a river that carried it to sea. Ancient Egyptian texts called “Lamentations of Isis and Nephthys” have survived. In them the grieving sisters lament the loss of Osiris. This music imagines the goddesses singing their lamentations, one after another, until they both join in a duet. They are accompanied by ancient harp, wooden flute, finger cymbals, tambourine and systrum. Although no authentic ancient Egyptian music has survived to today, these instruments are often depicted in the paintings and murals of the time. The music was composed and recorded at the Shelter of Clear Light Recording Studio in Los Angeles in July, 2018. “Homage to Pharaoh Tutankhamun” is conceived by composer Jeffrey Goodman to be sung by priests, nobility and spirit drummers in homage to Tutahnhamun upon his ascendancy to becoming Pharoah. For more information on the musical work of Jeffrey Goodman: https://www.jeffreygoodmanmusic.com/ Although the music of ancient Egypt has been lost for thousands of years and is still shrouded in mystery, there are nevertheless countless hints and intimations of the exquisite place of music within the culture of dynastic Egyptian society. As yet, to our knowledge, there is no known music notation which, if deciphered, would allow a direct transcription of their music for interpretation and performances today. At this time, after much research, a few musicians have begun to decipher and record music that is derived from the archaeological evidence that has survived to this day. Such evidence includes actual instruments such as ancient harps and flutes that reside in museum collections around the world. And, for example, it has been reported that one flute dating from the 3rd millennium BC, when played, was pitched to an aeolian pentatonic scale. We do know that music pervaded every aspect of Egyptian life. This is evidenced by the fortunate abundance of images depicting music played in both sacred and more secular contexts. We can see many different ensembles of instruments, as well as an occasional depiction of a kind of music master or conductor, who appears to be signaling the musicians with hand gestures.
