about

First featured in my 2015 release, "The Lyre of Hermes", this piece is a spontaneous improvisation for solo chelys (tortoise shell form) replica ancient Greek lyre, in the profound and timeless ancient Greek Phrygian mode, (equivalent intervals as D-D on the white notes of the piano and misnamed the 'Dorian' Mode in the Middle Ages) in the just intonation of antiquity.

The lyre featured in this piece is "The Lyre of Apollo III" - handmade in modern Greece by Luthieros:
