Sound inhabits everywhere, penetrating and energizing every existence. However, in the case of humans, it marks their greatest achievements. It weaves language, poetry, song, and dance. None of these human creations would exist without the musical organization of sound.

The rhythm inherent in every organized movement awakens the melody and makes it perceptible in singing speech. Perhaps the first expression of speech was a rhythmic poetic expression before settling into prose, where music was hidden within the meanings and messages that language conveys.

The texts included in this book are intended not only for experts but also for the curious reader who wishes to understand the musical-poetic vitality of the Greek language as well as its unique production mechanism during musical and dance communication.

In the first text of the book, we will explore this hidden music within the modern Greek language.
