The Open Question – Improv on 2 Lyres
Companion improv to
The Open Question – Lyre Improv.
Enjoy the double strung effects that are not possible with just one row of strings!
Auld Lang Syne
The tune we hear most in the United States, here played on lyre with a guitar pick. Happy new year! 
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 lyres. I hope you enjoy it!
Still Still Still
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!
