BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM ANCIENT GREECE PLAYED ON THE LYRE

Played by Michael Levy.

A studio quality recording of this piece, can now be heard on my NEW CD ALBUM, "An Ancient Lyre" at CD Baby.

This video features my arrangement for solo lyre of "The Song of Seikilos", unique in musical history, as it is the only piece of music from antiquity in the entire Western world, that has SO far been found, which has survived in its COMPLETE form, and unlike much earlier surviving fragments of melodies that have been found, this song is written in a totally unambiguous ALPHABETICAL musical notation, which can be played, note for note, as it was written...2000 YEARS AGO.

The music is gorgeous. Thanks to Mark at Enough About Me for encouraging me to search around on YouTube for music from the ancient world of Greece and the Mediterranean. I looked mainly for music played on the lyre. Michael posted several videos under his YouTube handle Klezfiddle1.

You can also purchase the MP3 album and CD through MadPriest's Amazon store. The MP3 version is $1.00 cheaper at Amazon, but the CD costs much less at CD Baby.
