Michael Levy | The Lyre of Hermes - Dryads (Nymphs of the Forest) @MichaelLevyMusic | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
A live performance of track 3, "Dryads (Nymphs of the Forest)", from my 2015 album, "The Lyre of Hermes". Available from all the usual digital music platforms, I plan to re-release the an extended length version of the album on 1st January 2024, with re-recorded, remastered versions of the original tracks and some additional tracks I am working on - the best things in life are worth waiting for!
This 2015 album was recorded in collaboration with the latter day ancient Greek lyre makers "Luthieros", who are based in Thessaloniki, Greece

The original EP length album features a recreated 'chelys' - the tortoise shell form of lyre played in ancient Greece, which had a resonator either made from an actual tortoise shell, or from wood carved in the form of a tortoise shell.
The lyre I am playing, is the Lutherios "Lyre of Apollo III" model - massive in size, with a soundboard of goat skin & a tortoise shell style resonator made in much more resonant wood, the instrument is certainly worthy of the mythological deity which inspired its creation!
"The Lyre of Hermes" features original compositions in a selection of some of the original ancient Greek modes, in the wonderfully pure, just intonation of antiquity, inspired by the unique characteristics of the Nymphs of ancient Greek mythology. The album is available now, from all major digital music platorms - CD quality audio and a PDF of the detailed album notes available from Bandcamp:

My book, featuring sheet music of 13 of my original melodies for recreated ancient lyre is also published by Luthieros:
