A Holiday Release, a Recreated Kithara, and the Hurrian Hymn
Michael Levy
has a new album out in time for holiday gift-giving! Follow the
links and get to ordering!
Kithara
of the Golden Age
I
am pleased to announce the release on all major digital music stores
and streaming sites, of my new album, "Kithara
of the Golden Age". The
sequel album to "The
Ancient Greek Kithara of Classical Antiquity",
this album also features the wonderfully recreated kithara of the
Golden Age of classical Greece, complete with its reconstructed 2,500
year old vibrato mechanism, handmade in modern Greece by
Luthieros:

The
album features original compositions in the original ancient Greek
modes, in the wonderfully pure just intonation of antiquity.
Since
the kithara is so suited to accompanying the human voice, although I
am by no means a professional singer, as in my previous album
featuring the kithara, I have added simple vocal lines, to hopefully
provide an evocation of how the kithara once may have accompanied the
singing of the professional musicians of ancient Greece.
Here
is the brand new webpage I have just this minute created, featuring
the free download link of the PDF booklet of detailed album notes, my
first 'promo' video for the album now on YouTube and all the main
purchase links on both the major digital music stores and streaming
sites:
Any
new album reviews on any of the major digital music stores would of
course be like a 'libation
to Apollo'
in aiding my daily efforts as an 'independent artist', to honestly
promote my lyre music to the rest of the unsuspecting world - please
feel free to share with the rest of the known universe...thanks for
you continued support in my ongoing musical mission, everyone!
Finally,
in closing, during my recent updating of my website, I have also
recently posted a brand new news bulletin, documenting the incredible
chain of global events which have occurred, since one miserable
February evening in 2008, I decided to upload my first YouTube video
of my arrangement for solo lyre of the 3,400 year old Hurrian Hymn,
the oldest fragment of written music so far discovered, in human
history - as recently featured in the Daily Mail, Fox News network,
Classic FM and even in the NME mainstream pop and rock magazine:
Amazing
what magic can be conjured, from nothing more than a miserable 10
quid mono PC mic and quite possibly, the oldest known webcam in human
history!
Season’s
greetings, everyone - warmest wishes from the freezing UK!
