This paper discusses compositional methods and interpretive choices behind “new ancient music” for Euripides’ Helen, how it supports or complicates the play’s musical design as previously understood, and how a newly musicalized “choral plot” can affect audience experience, ancient and modern. It is intended to complement performance recordings and scores, materials which, taken together, may help one understand the ancient experience of Greek dramatic music generally, or to evaluate musical effects of this specific play. It may also be useful for restaging Helen with this music, or new compositions of one’s own.
