A live performance of "Ode to Aphrodite" - track 10, from my 2010 album, "The Ancient Greek Lyre". Available from all digital music stores, here is the link to the album on Spotify:
open.spotify.com/album/4KgqlnVDzjys22Qol0NYHU
The great thing about my recreated ancient lyres, is that each one adds a totally unique timbre to any new arrangement of my old tunes! I love the distinctive character of the authentic unpolished gut strings on this one & the crisp attack of the carved tortoise shell plectrum...
In this live rendition of the melody, a dreamy tune in the ancient Greek Hypodorian mode (a conjuction of 2 tetrachords producing the equivalnet intervals as A-A on the white notes of the piano, but heard here in authentic just intonation), I perform it on my recreated ancient Greek chelys (tortoise shell form) lyre, hand-made in modern Greece by Luthieros:
