This is very interesting. When I was young I learned that the so called Greek choirs were speaking the text together, which did not make much sense to me at the time. It makes much more sense to me that they were singing.

The way they used the reed instruments reminded me of the way modern composers use bagpipes or trumpets. As adjuncts to the human voice.
