"Live" performance on Kithara-style lyre of "The Temple of Mars" : track 2 from my album, "Echoes of Ancient Rome" - out now, on iTunes: http://bit.ly/hSsBLN This album, along with my new album, "Ode To Ancient Rome", set out to evoke the tragically lost music of ancient Rome. These albums consist of original compositions for Kithara-style lyres, inspired by the Temples & gods of ancient Rome, in a selection of authentic ancient musical modes... This piece is an improvisation in the ancient Dorian mode, demonstrating a variety of ancient lyre-playing techniques: alternating between plectrum & finger-plucked tones & the "block & strum" rhythm technique - which is still practiced today by the Krar lyre players of modern day Eritrea!
