I was listening to Bridge Over Troubled Water (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXF5lVpN1ys) and it made me think of Cadvan and Maerad. It's so beautiful to listen to. :) Perfect.

Aww. And I couldn't write music if my life depended on it. It was our task for music last term to compose a song and write lyrics, and me and my partner ended up writing an epic poem about a man who lost his zebra. :o True story, I'm afraid...!

[Bree]

I'd like to hear that. :D I love strange lyrics.

XMagicx, I'm sure it didn't suck! :)

I looked up harp players on youtube and it reminds me so much of pellinor

I imagine a lyre sounding similar to a harp

[Sirkana]

yes, I agree with you - a lyre is really a type of harp anyway, isn't it?

[Ashe]

Well, they are both stringed instruments that are played with the fingers, not a bow, so yeah. A lyre is sort of a cross between a harp and a guitar, I 'spose.

[kiaga89]

ok so i actually managed to find an actual lyre player:

then what i suppose is actually just a Davidic harp, but could be mistaken for a type of lyre:

I suppose a lyre is similiar to a harp, the only real difference being that a lyre is played like a guitar, and is strummed, rather than plucked like a harp.

[Ashe]

Wow, Kiaga, the second one really looked like Maerad's lyre!! :D

[Sirkana]

those are really cool! wow!

[Ashe]

I seem to remember that ages ago someone made Maerad's lyre... who was it, again??
