Ancient Celtic music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the music and instruments of the ancient Celts until late Antiquity. For the modern folkloristic genre and its history, see Celtic music.
Deductions about the music of the ancient Celts of the La Tène period and their Gallo-Roman and Romano-British descendants of Late Antiquity rely primarily on Greek and Roman sources, as well as on archaeological finds and interpretations including the reconstruction of the Celts' ancient instruments. Most of the textual information centers on military conflicts and on maybe the most prominent Celtic instrument of its time, the carnyx.
