I guess the bowed instruments represent the voices...the guitar is the plucked 'lyre' . The instrumentation is a bit modern. Hatherley in Byzantine Music, a dissertation submitted to the Univ.of Oxford showed a comparison of Ancient Modes to some Ottoman makams/ modes. Bourgault Ducoudray[Etudes de Musique Ecclesistique Grecque] shows for each Bytantine mode[HXW] the Ancient Mode on which it is based. I wrote this to suggest using those intervals...if the Hymns are clearly in a known mode...

Incredible melodies and masterful playing. Uses the texture of the instruments really well.
Beautiful!
The guitar to be used would be the microtonal guitar...clips showing it are on UA-cam already.
Is this recording available for purchase?
