A presentation of "Luctus (Grief)" - track 5 from my 2023 album, "Musica Lyra" - an ancient Roman-themed album for solo lyre, inspired by themes from Stoic Philosophy:

The tracks in "Musica Lyra" expresses emotions of sorrow, grief, inner turmoil and regret, which through philosophical stoic meditation, we ultimately can learn to live with, once we accept and live with the stoic ideal of "Amor Fati" - the love of fate, and to feel inner harmony, no matter what any pantheon of ancient gods might have in store for us, through the enigma of our conscious existence through the journey of life.

As well as being available from all the usual major digital music platforms, studio quality audio & an inclusive PDF booklet of the detailed album notes, is available to order, only on Bandcamp:
