Over the years following this publication reflection on the problem it has spread, but the methodology of this paper is still valid.

The love songs represent a special genre within the ancient Egyptian literature. More than 50 of them are known. There is an accumulation of evidence for love poems or songs in the 19th and 20th Dynasty. The lecture deals with the “practical” side of the ancient Egyptian love songs: the way they were presented concerning instrumentation and vocal interpretation, who the performers were, and how and where the performances took place. Only the lyrics of ancient Egyptian love songs survived, and they represent only a fraction of the entire art work that love songs represented, in other words it is a framework or skeleton. Considering an opera aria as text only would give a similar mystifying or at least restricted impression. The impact of the human voice on the audience at a live performance as well as music and location are not to be underestimated, beside the entertaining factor that is inherent in the songs. Therefore the aim of this study is to permit an extended perspective on the love songs, based on archaeological, iconographical and textual sources. Within the lecture some of the love songs will be performed with a replica of an ancient Egyptian lute from the New Kingdom.
