In the Bleak Midwinter 
In the Bleak Midwinter on 2 19 string Brandon John lyres. I play the single arrangement once, then the double strung arrangement twice, with the 2nd time moved up an octave. I hope you enjoy!
Ding Dong Merrily on High
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Sharing one of my favorite Christmas carols as a double strung arrangement. Here I’m playing 2 19-string acoustic BJL (Brandon John Luthiery) lyres. I hope you enjoy it!
Still Still Still
A beautiful traditional Christmas Carol, still Still Still, played on BJL 19-string acoustic lyre
And my double strung arrangement, same lyre, except with 2 of them.
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas on Lyre with Bow
Steel strung lyre with Pickaso Guitar Bow. There’s definitely a learning curve to this! My hope is that I improve in the new year!
Suesser die Glocken nie Klingen
This is a beautiful German Christmas Carol. The title translates to sweeter the bells never sound. The first arrangement is played on one steel strung lyre.
And the double strung arrangement on 2 lyres. 
Coventry Carol and More
Coventry Carol is a traditional Christmas Carol, though you don’t tend to hear it as often as you hear many others. I hope you enjoy this version on harp!
And a piece I wrote called Twilight Mist. I wrote this before Halloween, but I am sharing it here, because it has a similar character to Coventry Carol.
And last, but certainly not least, the double strung arrangement of this piece. This is how I wrote it in the first place, and it sounds really lovely played on 2 lyres!
What Child is This
What Child is This? played on Lynda Lyre with nylon strings.
And my double-strung arrangement with 2 Brandon John steel strung acoustic lyres. I hope you enjoy both!
Deck the Halls on 2 Lyres
2 steel strung lyres play a double-strung arrangement. The tuning is a little off, because I just  received the second lyre and tuned it for the first time.
And a second arrangement with the same lyres, but with better tuning and a different left hand.
