‘Lost’ music instrument recreated

New software has enabled researchers to recreate a long forgotten musical instrument called the Lituus.
The 2.4m (8ft) long trumpet-like instrument was played in Ancient Rome but fell out of use some 300 years ago.
Bach’s motet (a choral musical composition) “O Jesu Christ, meins lebens licht” was one of the last pieces of music written for the Lituus.
Now, for the first time, this 18th Century composition has been played as it should have been heard.
