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.

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.

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
