Michael Levy | The Contemplations of Coeus (New Music for Ancient Greek Lyre) @MichaelLevyMusic | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
More new music, for the recreated ancient lyre!

Coeus was the Titan-god of the inquisitive mind, his name meaning "query" or "questioning". His wife, Phoebe, was the goddess of the prophetic mind.

I attempt to evoke of feeling of deep contemplation and questioning, by featuring the use of the intensely introspective ancient Greek Dorian Mode (misnamed the 'Phrygian' mode by scholars during the Middle Ages, the original ancient Greek Dorian Mode features the conjunction of 2 tetrachords which formed the equivalent intervals as EFGABCDE.

The lyre featured in this presentation, is the marvellously mythological looking 'Lyre of Thamyris', handmade in modern Greece by Luthieros:

The lyre features a soundboard of goatskin, authentic unpolished gut strings and a carved wooded plectrum tipped with tortoise shell.
