Here is another traditional melody often used in harp therapy sessions. It is a Scottish folk song, first published in 1906. Though its lyrics are not the happiest, as they tell the story of a lost or unhappy love affair, the melody is calming and well-known. I hope you enjoy hearing it played on lyre!

I love hearing the lyre and it lets me know what it must have been like for King Saul when he sent for David to bring his lyre and play music to calm his sleepless nights. So peaceful –
Thank you, Lynda. The lyre is just as calming to the one playing as it is to the listener. It’s a blessing to play and share.
That is a very calming song.
Thanks for listening, Frank!
