Evening Reflections

Evening Reflections is from Lyre Foundations by Catherine Guilbeau. To purchase the book or audiobook version, check out the link below. Here I play the piece in A minor, instead of B minor as it was written. This is only because I didn’t feel like retuning my 16-string solid body lyre!

Lynda Lyre with nylon strings.

And the double strung arrangement played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres. This is played as written, with the left hand moved up an octave.

Here is the same piece, believe it or not, with a different time signature. It was written in 3/4, like a waltz, as you can hear. Now I play it in 4/4, more like a march. It’s amazing the difference this makes! Played on 19-string acoustic lyre.

The course information is in the video description of the following link:

Forest Mystery

Forest Mystery is a piece I wrote last year to try out the G minor melodic scale. From C tuning, tune all B strings to Bb and all F strings to F#. Enjoy it played on Lynda Lyre with nylon strings, as originally written.

19-string acoustic lyre. I really prefer this piece with steel strings.

16-string solid body lyre. Notice the modified left hand without the F#3.

And my double strung arrangement played on 2 19-string acoustic lyres. To me this is the most beautiful and mysterious of all.
