Read at least 30% of the Old Testament with this music. God bless sir, this was amazing.
Agreed
Came here after reading 1 Samuel 16:23
Will be meditating on the Word while listening 💓 Thanx for this beautiful upload and may the Lord God bless all the hearers (and doers ☺️) in Jesus'Name! Love from Zaandam the Netherlands❣️
God. Bless. Ik krijg iedere x messages om jeremiah te lezen en te bestuderen.. Op T. V, bijbel studies
Maar leuk om een fellow believer uit Nederland te zien hier.

@@vladimiraskolosovas7265 Zeker leuk Vladimiras! Ik zie dat jouw interesse ook bij bevrijdings bediening ligt. Ken je Salvation in Christ Ministries met Prophet VC Zitha? Iedere zondag kan je live meedoen via Zoom met de dienst. Deze duurt zolang de Heilige Geest het wil en hier zie je Handelingen tot leven komen. Als je wil stuur ik je de link? Aankomende oud en nieuw is er een crossover. Het nieuwe jaar beginnen in worship en gebed 💃🙏🏼✨
Me too. I had a dream of an evil spirit and I am hoping this will soothe my soul like it did King Saul 🙏🏻
Small world, i did come here too after 1 Samuel 16 for meditation and a friend of mine called Sam called. it was even my first time to hear the word Lyre.
Came here after reading Psalm 33:2. This is beautiful.
Same 😂🔥
Your comment was placed by God. You wont ubderstand why maybe ill tell you in heaven. But God be with you
Perhaps I should sing a psalm in English... like in Acts1 we all hear the word in our own tongue when a moment in time is large and important enough a conjunction occurs or shoud I sing in a tongue? its weird after I ecord it I hear english word speak out to me and maybe other people do too....
BTW just read psalm 33... a masterpiece... I try not to get too biblical because praying to the grand creator of all things seems more potent and jesus knew not these times... and i feel fire and brimstone preachers bring death upon themselves... we need to be positive and pray with hand and foot
To Dragon: this is beautiful music! Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) was not here bodily as the Messiah of Israel at that time; however, The Lord is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent! Think of the Hebrew prophets, whether Isaiah, Ezekiel, Joel, Hosea, Daniel, Elijah, Elisha, Obadiah, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Micah, Malachi and Jeremiah: did they not also preach dire warnings to ancient Israel for the purpose of bringing them to Repentance and back to the LORD? the same can be said of the New Testament writers who warn us of the judgment to come upon them who reject Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord, for the purpose of bringing us all to Repentance? God bless you, and I pray for you that you will remember that it's not God's Will that any should perish, but that all will come to the Knowledge of the Truth! Scripture tells us to not despise the chastening of the LORD; for whom the LORD loveth He chasteneth, even as a father the son in whom he delights!!
Reading 1 Samuel. I was led to th stories of King Saul and then ofcourse little David. The story of King Saul and how after he's been afflicted by an evil spirit calls for David (filled with the Holy Spirit of God) to play thd lyre for him and verse 23 reads "Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him."
1 Samuel 16:23 NIV
Had to come and find out what this instrument actually sounds like. Absolutely beautiful 🥰 Bible study is always so fascinating with you Holy Spirit, thank you❤️
Me too
Wow, here it is a year later and I have been fascinated by this as well. My research led me here. So awesome!
Thank you for sharing this.I believe there are so many things "hidden in plain sight"and this is one of those things
Was not brought here through divinity but through honest admiration of the ancient world. A religious review of this Era finds many patterns, rules and restrictions....but a musical approach finds commonality with in melody, rhythm and cadence. I love music. I love ancient cultures. Ancient Egypt has been fetishized and distorted to fit a western ideal, but songs like this preserve their true essence .
💕 your commentary ty V
Beautiful. I hopped on the Bible Bus last year, "Vernon McGee's Thru the Bible". Having terrible tinitus and being easily distracted has often left me feeling unfulfilled after my morning devotion and studies. Your lovely, relaxing music is an answer to my prayer. I think it calms the subconscious helping me focus on my study and walk with the Lord. Thank you and God bless you and your loved ones.
Was looking for music to put on while spending time in the word and the holy spirit lead me here, God bless everyone, praise him!
so are you to be blessed
BH ! I found this right before Yom Kippur for my evening Torah reading. I'm just overwhelmed with happiness that I just found this. Just prepare yourself for 16:55, but don't skip. Just read Torah or Tanakh.
I am going to use this amazing ancient hebrews feel music while reading The TANAKH and Brit HaDasha to our Assembly under our MESSIAH YESHUA.
Thanks brother Michael you are amazing ❤
The good old days of 1000 BC
Yeah, good times...gooood times.

Thank You Heavenly Abba Father/ Yahweh for Your Son of Man / Yeshua also the helper the Holy Spirit that lives inside us our guide! In Your Eternal Holy Name I pray Amen!! HOLY,HOLY,HOLY!!
Ever since I started listening to historically inspired music from both you and Peter Pringle, I became a convert from classical music. Thank you so much for bringing this lost art form back to life!
Glad you enjoy the 'musical adventures in time travel'! Most of my attempts at evoking ancient Biblical lyre music, is in fact, the result of creating a ' musical collage' - taking traditional Jewish melodies out of their klezmer or traditional sacred vocal settings and transforming their original meaning by arranging for the ancient timbre of recreated 10-string lyre.
The most fascinating thing I learnt from this exercise, was just how perfectly these traditional Jewush melodies fit the 10-strings of a lyre - just maybe, the timeless sounding musical modes of traditional Jewish music might have even had their origin on the strings of the original ancient 10-string Biblical lyre of the Levites? A real possibility!
Bravo Michael 👍. Very inspirational music to relax and meditate on the past and present ☝️🙏🌹🌹
@@MichaelLevyMusic That is definitely a possibility and one I would not be surprised if it were true.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful music to my ears! GOD bless you abundantly. Thank you, LORD JESUS CHRIST in advance!🙏🏽❤️

I used to have an 8 string harp from Africa (27 years ago) made with skin over a gourd two sticks and a cross beam for the tuning pegs. I created many different modes that were beautiful, and only could be embellished by voice or violin.
Pity you didn't make some music vids and post them on UA-cam
28 years ago I didn't have a smart phone, email, or UA-cam. But now East and West meet in real time, without Visas or Passports.
Mr Michael Levy, I would like to thank You for Your work of cultural and musical dissemination, thanks to which we can enter the mystical Beauty of ancient Jewish, Greek and Roman music, or rather the heart and cradle of civilization and of the Mediterranean.
Thank You ❤️
Listening to this for Pesach and to remember what My Messiah did for me... it brings such shalom... Shavua Tov!
i won't even ask!
Thank you Michael
You must be a Levi in the Bet ha Mikdash in other life.
Blessings from the beautiful jerushalaim.
I’m glad I found this
I can listen to this forever and never get bored
God bless us all! Fill our hearts with your love make us alive with Resurrection!
Barach bushem Adonai amen..blessings to your many Talents friend.
All praises to our God (YAHWEH) and His Most Beloved Son ( YASHUA HAMASHIACH) through the Holy Spirit ( RUAC HA KODESH) !!! 😊❤✝️
Levy, ever the fine man producing fine art from a fine time. I was even able to read while listening. Through the slow and the fast bits, I could enjoy what I was hearing and focus on the read.
Thanks, I've found no other music that lets me do that
I just shared this video with your beautiful music played on an ancient biblical lyre with many of my Church family members and other friends and relatives!
Many thanks! This is greatly appreciated.
You are so welcome! Shalom! Cindy Jantz in Sterling Heights, Michigan
Thank you.. remain blessed oh beloved and keep thee repented heart pure in his most high name, i say amen and amen!
I enjoy it so much more when you play 1 or 2 notes at a time. Much more relaxing. Let’s you hear the full note vibrate and harmonize if that makes sense
Amazing. Even the nieghbors cat began to rest. Pray always. And rest in Jesus Christ. His Work is perfect. Amen ❤
God bless you 🙏🏽🌴
It's quite interesting when you speed it up. Thank you for this video and the tunes
This may very well be one of my favorite genre to worship with
Here after reading psalm 147:7 🙏🏽 beautiful music btw 🎶👏🏽
Alleluia ! Amen ! Halleluia ! Amen ! Halleluia ! Amen ! Amen !
But wait, the Creator of Western music is Yahweh himself ? But Israel isn't in Europe, so Western Classical music came through by the Catholic Church.
Yahweh = god. Well, he is the creator of all music then. 😂
Amen🙏🏽
I'm here while studying Psalm 150! 🎉
Beautiful, thank you very much for sharing, great channel and videos, God bless you good sir, God Bless All ❤️
Secret teaching of the ages inspired this one to come here❤
Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to Him with ten strings.

Just found this and am looking forward to using it for study music, both Bible study and school study.

BEAUTIFUL. Familiar songs with great implementation, perfect to sing along to.
It's heavenly music,, instruments
Wow. Didn't expect the Tikvah here, kind of unusual to me to hear my anthem on such an old instrument... Keep up the good work Michael!
Awesome work Michael! Loved this one!
Lord Jesus Christ I Love This Music and most of I love that it will draw me closer to you ❤❤❣️🙏🙏 My wish is to live in your presences always & forever with every breathe and step I make Yahweh it is your very plan❣️I'm so thankful, grateful for all Your blessings blessings
Beautiful work! A long-form video of ancient lyres is just what I've been looking for. Did you use the Mid-East Kinnor for this?
Glad you like it! This presentation featured my Mid East Kinnor (lower register timbre), the higher register, more harp-like timbre of my Marini 10-string lyre & the quite exotic timbre of my Mid East Nevel (skin soundbard).
Shalom! This is such a blessing. In the name of Adonai, Amen! Thank you for sharing!
I will be using this beautiful, ancient music to meditate to. I shall light my authentic clay oil lamp from 2000 years ago from Israel, and turn out the lights while this plays. Time travel is possible! Thank you, Mr. Levy, for allowing us to travel back to the days of our Lord for peace and comfort.
Please read the Christian Bible and meditate on the scriptures.

I would like to ask you @MichaelLevyMusic if I can use your music in my videos for my UA-cam channel. I will make sure to give you credit within the description always. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your interest in my music! In answer to your question, do feel free to feature my music on your own UA-cam channel, but please note, that since all my tracks have been copyright registered, UA-cam automatically generates copyright notices & will display a few ads in the video etc - don't worry about this, as it will not affect the status of your channel (the ads placed in videos by any other creator which featuries my music simply generates a few pennies of 'royalties' back to me). If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask 😀
@@MichaelLevyMusic Understood! We are 100% happy to feature the copyright notices to your videos as you deserve to earn your money from your content as a worker is worthy of his wages.
Thank you again! 🙏
@@qnawithdna my heart melts for this colab, sub'd thanks for putting yourself out there for us all
What beautiful work 🙏🏻💝 well done 🙌 thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻💝💝 God bless you 😍
Yes it sounds really ancient and oriental.
Glad you like it! The idea behind my ancient Biblical lyre-themed albums, was to create a 'musical collage' - taking traditional Jewish sacred & instrumental klezmer melodies out of their traditional context & rearranging them for the ancient, exotic timbre of my 10-string lyre...thus completely changing the original aesthetic meaning of the original melodies into an ancient 'Middle Eastern Magic Carpet Ride' back to Biblical times! Indeed, the ancient musical modes found in traditional Jewish music fitted the 10 strings of my lyre so perfectly, that just maybe, these modes may have had their origin on the 10 strings of the original Biblical kinnor...the lyre of the Levites!
Absolutely beautiful! How can I learn how to play the ancient biblical lyre? And where can I purchase/rent a 10 string ancient Biblical lyre?
Glad you like it! The best quality & most affordable modern evocation of a 10 string Biblical lyre, is almost certainly the 'Davidic Harp' made by Marini Made Harps:
www.marinimadeharps.com/davidic.htm
Cheaper factory made instruments are available from Mid East Ethnic Instruments, but I always feel it is false economy to Beattock with an instrument which sounds dull & unresponsive.
I did used to give a few online lyrexlessons on WhatsApp, but having so many part-time jobs in between my musical projects and being confined to very specific GMT makes time slots makes providing regular lessons rather tricky. Which country are you in?

@cynthiajantz9314 did you find someone to teach you?
very very good relaxed
Very cool! It's a bummer though that it can't be played when the video is minimized. Would've liked to listen while reading Psalms
Was the music written down in some way and records kept down the centuries in the same way that Biblical text was preserved? Or is this an audio memory passed down from generation to generation?
Awesome! do you have any content to learn this lyre style?
Here is a series of tuition videos I posted many moons ago:

Parabéns.
This is beautiful, thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful music but too many ads in here and on top of that, it’s long ads. It’s very difficult to relax or prayer to this kind of music when there are ads every 5 minutes
As my tracks are copyright registered, the ads are automatically generated by UA-cam for all non-UA-cam Premium viewers, from which is generated an invaluable few pennies of royalties for my efforts...if my track weren't copyright registered, then anyone out there could use my music & I would receive a penny - making any form of living as a musician is a tough road to travel!
Wish I could buy this on record vinyl
I found it hard enough trying to flog the physical CD's of my very first album whose manufacture I had to pay for out of my own pocket! 16 years on, and I still have over 200 of the infernal things cluttering my spare room! Spotify & it's similar offspring is mercifully the future of music for the struggling independent artist - for a one-off payment of no more than 80 USD, I can get a new album out to a current audience of almost 40,000 listeners!
Non-religious, but I enjoyed this purely from a musical perspective. Really nice.
JESUS CHRIST our Messiah is not religiosity, He is The Almighty Living God to whom all knees will bow. To know and believe in Him who saved us from eternal damnation is to have a relationship not a religion. It's the most important relationship you must seek in the time God has you on this earth. God bless you.

Team Jesus Christ
Is this based on some Jewish(?) music? Or is it just the lyre? You write the music
Thanks in advance 🕎
Most of the music featured my arrangements of traditional Jewish instrumental music (klezmer melodies) & traditional Jewish sacred melodies - arranged for some of my modern evocations of the 10-string Biblical lyre (kinnor); which was once played by my Levite ancestors in the Temple of Jerusalem to accompany the Levitical Choir during the ancient Temple services - extreme 'roots music'!

Interesting... but were two or more notes played together to make harmony ...?
The myth of monophony in the ancient world (when ancient Greek instruments like the aulos, 2 reed pipes played simultaneously by the same performer, produced spontaneous counterpoint!) stems from a basic logical confusion about the origin of the first CODIFICATION on how to create harmony in the Enchiriadis Treaties of the 9th century and the first CREATION of harmony, which since all human voices are different pitches, is as old as the first times humans sang together...as testified from the fact that all aboriginal cultures with no influence from the western world, such as the Aka Pygmies of Central Africa) have a tradition of polyphonic singing! Here is my detailed blog on this prevailing musicological myth: ancientlyre.com/the-urban-myth-of-the-monotony-of-monophony-in-the-ancient-world
@Michael Levy interesting to know..
But polyphony in probably a more primitive format than today....
Maybe canonical..
Strangely India Classical music which is also ancient doesn't have polyphony at all....
Hello! Appreciate your talent. As a musician myself, I am curious about your compositional process - how do you go about creating all these different pieces? What do you identify as the inherent integrity of each piece which makes it itself and not another piece?
I appreciate your interest in my music! An interesting question. The answer lies, in what I would call the perfect match between the type of musician I am (improvisatory & experimental) & the type of instrument the recreated lyre is...
I am self-taught on the lyre - I could not bear the suffocating restrictions of formal music lessons I had as a child & for decades, sought to find a way of creating music free of all the bland, uniform formalities I endured scraping through A' level music at 18!
With the lyre, technicality is no longer important - minimalistic, medtitative music simply flows from the strings! I grew to love the distinctive expressive qualities of the ancient modes, brought into HD focus when I also learnt about tuning in just intonation.
I generally freely improvise first, recording my ideas on my cell phone! I then evaluate the best ideas I roughly recorded, re-learn & develop these, before recording, mixing & mastering the final fruits of these ideas.
There are quite a lot of overlapping motifs between melodies, as a consequence of the simplicity of having just 9 - 11 strings to work with & the possibilities & limitations of playing techniques (eg, tremolo drones, block & strum harmonies, pure plucked 5ths & 4ths to frame melodic lines etc) - but these actually define individualistic style behind the melodic ideas.
A fantastic answer! Thank you so much!
yes the 1658 sound like nutcracker
And condor fly
Yeah, this is the one.
Thank You Father-God, in the name of Jesus-Christ (“ Messiah”, for jewish audience). Jesus is Israel’s Messiah and the Saviour of the world. The Son of God- God the Son
Glory to Jesus! MARANATHA , King his coming back!
Amen
slave of God, Jesus, them anointed one
excuse the ignorance, is there a relationship between this tunings and the original ones?
Regarding 'original' tunings, the modes still heard today in both Jewish sacred & instrumental klezmer are also so widespread throughout the Middle East (known in itger lands as specific types of 'Maqam'), that this certainly points to an ancient origin, plus the fact that I discovered that if one tunes 10-string lyre to equivalent intervals as CDEFG#ABCDE, then 2 of the mist common Jewish musical modes are naturally implied, depending if you base the root of the mode on either the 1st or second string!
Suzanne Haik Vantoura also devoted her life to deciphering the 'Te Amim' accents attached to the entire text of the oldest surviving Hebrew Bibles, which if she was right, reveal the original music of the Psalms...many of which feature these same modes.
