    Sounds nice. Althought I'am a bit sceptical concerning the tuning. The music in this video sounds like it was played with an instrument tuned to a "Well Temperament", which was invented in Europe around 18-19th century, and was only widely adopted in "western music" after that. It is not likely at all that well tempered tuning was used in any instument in prehistory, nor in history before the 18th century.

    • @MichaelLevyMusic
      @MichaelLevyMusic  2 місяці тому +3

      The tuning is actually just intonation, with intervals in whole number ratios - it is the buzzy timbre of the lyre (a flat topped, grooveless bridge), not the musical intervals, which creates the 'fuzzy' timbre associated with equal temperament.

      The type of lyre David himself once played almost certainly resembled this one. Even although this lyre is a replica of one found in Egypt & preserved in Leiden, this type of lyre is distinctively Canaanite & almost certainly was introduced to Egypt during the reign of the Canaanite Hyksos Kings.
      Just how early Israelite pottery is like a more simplified, rustic version of Cannanite pottery, probably King Savid's own lyre was also a simplified, more rustic version of these Canaanite lyres?

    • @MichaelLevyMusic
      @MichaelLevyMusic  2 роки тому +2

      This particular lyre us probably as close as we can get to an approximation of what David's lyre looked & sounded like - instead of being based on ancient illustrations, this instrument is based on the proportions of an actual surviving Caananite style lyre found in Egypt & currently preserved in Leiden, dating to circa 1,500 BC - a style of lyre construction in the Middle East which endured in lyre design until about 1000 BC; the accepted traditional time frame of the life of King David.
      David would almost certainly have played something very similar, although his fabled lyre may have been presumably more 'rustic' if he had crafted it himself, instead of tainting his legend by purchasing it from Canaanite traders vack in his day!

    How is ot even possible to reconstruct an ancient piece of music without any musical notes?

    • @MichaelLevyMusic
      @MichaelLevyMusic  Рік тому +9

      Forms of musical notation pre-dating our Wesern stave system date back to circa 1400 BC! The oldest fragment of notated music so far discovered which can be interpreted is the Hurrian Hymn text h6 - names of lyre strings written in Cuneiform represented changes in musical intervals & like in today's Middle Eastern music, a diad of 2 notes represented a passage of notes between them.
      In ancient Egypt & Israel, cheironomy was used - a system of hand gestures represented specific changes in pitch.
      In ancient Greece, modified alphabetical symbols represented specific notes and intricate treaties on ancient Greek music theory survive, describing diatonic musical modes, Chromatic modes & microntonal enharmonic modes. 60 or so actual fragments of ancient Greek music survive, including one complete song, the 2000 year old "Song of Seikilos"...."While we live shine, bear no grief at all,for life lasts but a short while & death demands its toll"

      In my ongoing musical mission to 'carry on where the ancients left off', in creating new music in ancient musical modes & intonations for the recreated lyres of antiquity, most of my recordings are original, either historically or mythologically inspired compositions - however, in this presention, Dr Richard Dumbrill's most recent 'Maqamised' version of the Bronze Age Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal is featured, which I arranged for replica Bronze Age lyre, dating back to circa 1,400 BC!
