Greek and Roman Musical Studies

Aims & Scope

Greek and Roman Musical Studies celebrates its 10th anniversary this year !

As a tribute to the scholars who, with passion and dedication, have contributed to the success of GRMS, in the course of this year Brill will provide free access to a selection of articles.

Please find them on the dedicated webpage here.

Greek and Roman Musical Studies is the first and, at present, the only specialist periodical in the fields of ancient Greek and Roman music.

It publishes papers offering cultural, historical, theoretical, archaeological, iconographical and other perspectives on music in Classical antiquity, and on its reception in later times (especially the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, but also more recent periods).

The Editorial Board will also consider contributions on music elsewhere in the Mediterranean region, including Egypt, Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia.

Cross-disciplinary approaches will be particularly appreciated.
