Aeolian Dream on Lyres

Posted on by

This is an original piece that was part of my Therapy Harp Training Program first semester final exam. I play it here first on Lynda Lyre, as I did for the exam.

19-string acoustic BJL Lyre, with left hand range modifications

16-string solid body BJL lyre, so you can hear more left-hand range modifications if you listen closely

And lastly, my double strung arrangement on 2 19-string acoustic BJL lyres

Star of the County Down

Here is the traditional Irish tune, Star of the County Down, played on 16-string solid body lyre.

19-string acoustic lyre with its wider range and fuller sound.

19-string acoustic with Pickaso Guitar Bow. It rings, even though the bow can’t produce a lot of sustain on its own.

And finally, enjoy 2 19-string acoustic lyres for my double strung arrangement.
