A 'live' performance on my evocation of the 10-string Biblical lyre of the traditional Jewish Klezmer melody, Kandel's Hora - track 9, King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel : • http://ancientlyre.com/albums_for_sol... • This album and its sequel, Lyre of the Levites: Klezmer Music For Biblical Lyre attempt to evoke the feeling of the music of ancient Israel/Judea, with arrangements of both traditional Jewish sacred and instrumental Klezmer music, uniquely arranged for my evocation of the 10-string Biblical lyre known in Hebrew as the Kinnor , which is vividly described both throughout the Biblical text and also in the writings of the first century Jewish historican, Flavius Josephus, who actually witnessed the Levites play their Kinnors in the Temple of Jerusalem: • http://ancientlyre.com/the_biblical_k... • In this 'live'performance, I also use the wonderfully pure just intonation of antiquity (courtesy of the iPod Cleartune App!) • There is evidence to suggest, from the life's work of the late Suzanne Haik Vantoura, that the very same ancient musical modes still heard today in both instrumental klezmer and sacred Jewish music, had their ultimate origins in the music of the Levites, once performed in the ancient Temple services: • http://ancientlyre.com/the_original_3... • The traditional Yiddish Hora I have arranged for my evocation of the Biblical Kinnor performed here, was first recorded in the early years of the 20th century by Harry Kandel's Klezmer Orchestra in the USA - this is what this tune MIGHT have sounded like...if it had instead, been recorded in the 20th century BCE! • King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel is available from all the major digital music stores and the physical CD of the album is available from Amazon CD Baby. Many thanks for watching!
