Michael Levy | Magic of the Kithara - The Feast of Poseidon @MichaelLevyMusic | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
A live performance of "The Feast of Poseidon" - track 6 from my new album in progress, "Magic of the Kithara". Due for release on all the usual digital music platforms on 1st January 2025, each and every one of the tracks can be previewed, as they are created, on Bandcamp:

The kithara reached its pinnacle during the 5th century BCE. There is plenty of controversy about the construction - the curious spring-like structures clearly illustrated below the crossbeam to which the strings are attached, could either be interpreted as structural (providing equal & opposite reaction to the downward pull of the strings on the slender arms of the kithara, as most academic scholars believe), or maybe even evidence of some form of mechanical vibrato/portamento mechanism!
My ancient Greek kithara was recreated in modern Greece, by Luthieros:

In Athens and other parts of ancient Greece, there is a month that roughly corresponds with the Winter solstice that is named Poseidon for the sea-god Poseidon. Despite the fact that the Greeks were the least likely to sail during these months, they held a celebration in Athens called Posidea to celebrate Poseidon.
In this piece, I attempt to evoke the cold of Winter & the icy depths of the Oceans of Poseidon by use of the ancient Greek Hypodorian Mode
in the intense focus of just intonation.
Many thanks for watching!
