My Lyre Sings Only Of Love
Музыка
This song is performed in ancient Greek on an instrument called the “barbitos”. It is of a unique family of ancient lyres that are flexible and able to play all the notes that you can play on a keyboard, as well as slides and vibrato.
If you want to know more about this kind of lyre, I made a KZread video explaining exactly how it works. Here is the link.

I'm starting to think that Mr. Pringle is an immortal who's lived through and visited every ancient civilization chronicling their music for future generations.

Is he an alien? Ancient alien theorists say yes!
Random pringle makes my day.
Apart from always being an impressive instrumentalist, you always impress me with your splendid vocals Peter. Keep the great work, love from latin america.
I am Greek and super surprised. It really feels like he has a Greek throat. Very close to how we pronounce words, great job!
Still waiting for a spoty version for mental health reasons. Since I discovered this legend of a man my life hasn't been the same☠️
Those last three plucks are a bit lewd, but in a classy and tasteful way. They're like a wink at the listener.

The lil "wobble" is my favorite part of ancient Greek music

If you mean the wobble in voice it is called "melismatic singing" you can find it also in flamenco and some other styles of folk music

its also called vibrato, mostly on instruments though. like elneutrino90 said, most singers call it melismatic when singing

I wish I could get my hands on all these cool instruments! I would do nothing else for my whole life except play them.
These things are so beautiful and all so very important. Never stop reminding us of our ancient and beautiful history.

I see what you mean.
As a Greek proud of my heritage I am very fond of your effort to get inspired from the greek letters as well as other ancient texts. I may check the text but just from hearing it sounds accurate. As for the music it is known we cannot resurrect it except to the extent we study its prosody, but anyway I find these makings interesting and respectful enough to show to my music class pupils. Thank you, keep up beautifully

I am surprised that you did not choose to use the ancient greek pronounciation but the modern greek (or hellenistic, that is about 200-300 years later) instead, perhaps next time, there is plenty of writing in english about this, I guess you are aware

He doesn't pronounce the ancient Greek language correctly. Most of the words are pronounced wrong. Probably his Anglosaxon teachers in college tried to teach him the anglo-latin ish pronunciation of the ancient Greek language.

@@katerinapatiniotis5598 I cannot explain the fact that he doesn`t use the ancient greek pronounciation since I have heard the ancient greek pronounciation in music making solely by english/anglosaxon students/professor makings... that is why I was surprised. If you are aware of music reproduced in attic or other (correct) pronounciation of the ancient time, by anyone, I would be fond if you could send me

I'm not sure whether we know the pronunciation of every ancient greek dialect (although I'd imagine we know Ionic since we study a lot of Epic greek. Personally I'm only sure of how Attic was pronounced according to which the song is indeed wrong). What surprised me is that he decided to change verse while singing in the middle of what the written verse (if that makes sense) Nevertheless the song is beautiful the way it turned out
The world is a grander place with you in it good sir.
Peter you are fantastic, I love your work
When a archeologist is also a musician which can play a lot of unheard instruments and sings extremely well:
Peter, take your Talent to America’s Got Talent..!! If you did the ancient Egyptian song, you’ll blow people away!

Enchanting as ever. Your music sounds effortless and at ease, which shows not only the musical dexterity and appreciation you possess but the research and the overall analysis that go into these performances. The language, the dialect, the instruments... Ancient words sung into revival...
Much respect Sir
Oh Peter... your heart is shiny...

You're an inspirational human being. Thanks!

Oh, Peter! Finally you are back. ☺️👍🏻 And the Greek excursion sounds impressive. Your voice was made for hymns, I believe.

I keep coming back to this song; the music really embodies the sweetness and passion of the text. Mr. Pringle, your work in the ancient music field is memorable, helping us to remember the fact that we are one species, with commons feelings and struggles, even in geographic or temporal distances.

I really like your ancient song cover, really hoping you could play more babylonian or even egyptian song (i really like how exotic they sound!)
WONDERFUL.
What a voice. ❤
Such an amazing lyrics.
Such a wonder shared! any edition of the classic's (like "The Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian") played by the Master? ...cause must be some and I can't find anything on Amazon other than "Le Jeue De L'Amour". I know I can run some YT download, but think Mr Pringle deserve something else, so much talent, inspiration and clarity, so many invaluable contributions to the cultural heritage of humanity must have a formal format, I guess, and, if nobody with the necessary edition capability do the honors and call the genius... well, shame on you, mankind!
Awesome!
Inspiring. One is transported to the time of the ancients and can feel the devastating curse and eternal bliss that is love.
