Another Autumn Lullaby

Posted on by

This piece, called Autumn Lullaby, was written by Carrie Tollett. She composed it for harp beginners, but I hope you enjoy hearing it on lyre, both single and double strung.

19-string acoustic lyre.

Here is a modified double strung arrangement of the same piece. The first time through, I moved the left hand up an octave and doubled some notes. The second time through, the right hand is moved down and octave, and the same notes are doubled. I hope you enjoy this arrangement played on my 19×2 double wire strung lyre, Alchemy.

You can learn this piece and download free sheet music from Carrie‘s video:

Autumn Improv: Pumpkins

Posted on by

This is Pumpkins, the next improvisation in my Autumn Improv series. This one has 3 sections. The first is picking pumpkins, then you get to decide whether you want a scary pumpkin or a happy pumpkin. I hope you enjoy it, played on double strung lyre.

My apologies for the quality of this recording! For some reason, it recorded with the internal microphone on my phone, instead of the external mic I intended. I didn’t want to redo it, since it is an improvisation. And I ran it through a noise filter, but I’m not sure whether that helped, or just made it worse.
