Cypriot music has certain similarities to traditional Greek music, and their modern popular music scenes remain well-integrated.Greek music historyPart of a series onGreeksCoat of arms of GreeceBy region or countryGreece · CyprusGreek diasporaSubgroupsAntiochians · Aromanians · ArvanitesCypriots · Epirotes · KaramanlidesManiots · Phanariotes · PontiansRomaniotes · Sarakatsani · SfakiansSlavophones · Souliotes · TsakoniansUrumsGreek cultureArt · Cinema · Cuisine · DanceDress · Education · Flag · LanguageLiterature · Music · Philosophy · PoliticsReligion · Sport · TelevisionReligionGreek Orthodox ChurchGreek Roman CatholicismGreek Byzantine CatholicismGreek EvangelicalismJudaism · Islam · NeopaganismLanguages and dialectsGreekCalabrian Greek · Cappadocian GreekCretan Greek · Griko · Cypriot GreekManiot Greek · Pontic Greek · TsakonianYevanic · Aromanian · ArvanitikaMeglenitic · Slavika · UrumHistory of Greecev • d • eGreek written history extends far back into Ancient Greece, and was a major part of ancient Greek theater. Later, influences from the Roman Empire, Eastern Europe and the Byzantine Empire changed Greek music. In the 19th century, opera composers, like Nikolaos Mantzaros (1795 - 1872), Spyridon Xyndas (1812 - 1896) and Spyros Samaras (1861 - 1917) and symphonists, like Dimitris Lialios and Dionysios Rodotheatos revitalized Greek art music. However, the diverse history of art music in Greece, which extents from the Cretan Rennaisance and reaches modern times, exceeds the aims of the present contribution, which will be limited to the presentation of the musical form that the last few decades became synonymous to 'Greek music'. That is the 'Greek song' or, better, the 'song in Greek verse'.n ancient Greece, mixed-gender choruses performed for entertainment, celebration and spiritual reasons. Instruments included the double-reed aulos and the plucked string instrument, the lyre, especially the special kind called a kithara.Music was an important part of education in ancient Greece, and boys were taught music starting at age six. Greek musical literacy created a flowering of development; Greek music theory included the Greek musical modes, eventually became the basis for Western religious music and classical music.
