Learn How To Play Ancient Lyres - Lesson #6 !
his is my 6th lesson on how to play the Kinnor - the ancient Jewish Lyre, once played by King David, & by my very own, very ancient, VERY cool Levite ancestors...over 2000 years ago, in the Temple of Jerusalem!!
In this lesson, I will teach all you lovely "Levite Wannabes", floating out there in the Cyberspace Labyrinth, how to play the most famous of ALL ancient Jewish melodies on King David's Lyre; "Hatikvah" - "The Hope"...Oy Vey! I hope I don't forget what I'm about to say!!;o) This ancient melody was later to be made the official National Anthem of Israel.
If anyone out there has any problems in "translating" my somewhat intelligible Liverpool "Scouse" accent ("Erm...ye know warra mean...like...ay? CALM DOWN!"etc), etc, here are the written notes of Hatikvah:
