Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (J.S. Bach) by Soprano Lyre

[wongyinlai]

I want to have one and learn it. When I save enough money, maybe 0.5 year, would you help me to buy one? After I have a lyre, would you mind to teach me? I live in kowloon.

[wongyinlai]

WOW~~ are you still in HK? I like lyre very much. I want to learn and want to buy one. Would you like to tell me where can i buy one in HK? Does it expensive? How can I find a lyre teacher in HK? Thank you.

[Liraxtime]

@wongyinlai Yes, I am in HK. It's sunny, cold morning here. I guess there is no shop selling lyre in Hong Kong. Soprano lyre costs around EUR1,000-2,000 depending on its quality. To my knowledge, I am the only one lyre player in Hong Kong :-)

[wongyinlai]

@Liraxtime EUR1,000-2,000 is about HK$14000~28000? I want to have one and learn it. When I save enough money, would you help me to buy one? After I have a lyre, would you mind to teach me? I live in kowloon.

@wongyinlai　Happy New Year! I have been busy for the last few weeks. I can't send you personal message through YouTube (I don't know why.) Could you give me e-mail to liraxtime@gmail.com ?

[Bietel]

I suggest you type in Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring together with 'autoharp', and be amazed!

I was thinking that this beautiful song must be played with a violin to show all its beauty but your lyra made me think twice. I still love violin versions but yours is very special. Keep up the good work!

[juap22]

oh my god, this is so nice!

[Liraxtime]

Thank you so much. I hope you would like my kantele version, too.

[dands01]

hi,you played very beautifully.may i know which country you're from?i'm just curious at how you can speak so many languages.

[Liraxtime]

Thank you for comment. I have just uploaded another version of the same music played by Kantele(Finnish music instrument).

I am Japanese, working in Hong Kong, close to your country.

[teamim]

Lovely! I've long wanted to hear what the lyres made by this particular luthier sound like. You do a beautiful job.

Can you sing as well? Maybe you'd like to try learning the kind of texts I post on my channel (see also "rakkav", especially the video of Psalm 137 where I sing and play Celtic harp). Also please take a look at "Klezfiddle1" and his many videos using a 10-string Semitic lyre! :)

[Liraxtime]

Thank you for listening to my lyre.

I have followed your links and found many beautiful jewish music.

I can't sing, but my lyre sings instead of my voice.

本当にありがとうございます

こちらこそ。（de nada)

[DULCIMELOS]

Beautiful resonance! Nice arrangement.

Lyre became popular since the animation "Chihiro"

was put on the screen in Japan.

[Liraxtime]

Your Kalimba version is so sweet, too!

Many thanks.

As you say, "Sprited Away or Itsumo Nandodemo" made a lyre popular among Japanese. (I am one of them :-))

[sacofan]

very good really :)...amazing...nice playing

[Liraxtime]

Oh, you are from Switzerland! This lyre was given to me from ex-owner living in Switzerland. What a coincidence.

[MikeJS57]

Beautifully played. You've got lovely hands. I'm big into hands, hands, noses and bottoms. Womens' only, calm down you gay fellas !

[Liraxtime]

Thank you for loving my hands!

[bubblesthepowerpuffg]

shame about the recording quality, because you're very good!

[Liraxtime]

[juap22]

beatiful.. very nice!

(My english is bad bad bad)

[Liraxtime]

Muchas gracias! Soy Japonesa.

I think there is a lyre builder in your country.

[sunflowermother]

Yes this was also played at my wedding. I love this! You play this so beautifully and I'm sure you are too!

[Liraxtime]

Who knows I would play it at my son's wedding!?

[a0e0roberts]

Lyreaxtime: "If I were pretty, then I would have exposed my face too!" Nuts to that. ALL women are pretty, just in different ways.

Holy COW! How many strings does that thing have, anyway? I'm building a traditional Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo lyre with six strings (about as many strings as this old horse can manage, I'd guess).

[Liraxtime]

I love your comment:ALL women are pretty, just in different ways.

This lyre has 35 strings, made by German lyre builder. I have one with 38 strings and 39 strings, too.

[Mokhito]

how can say if miss is pretty or now if u can only c her hands...

sounds beautiful, i choose it for my wedding

[Liraxtime]

If I were pretty, then I would have exposed my face too!

Happy wedding.

[xenogears1998]

Beautiful sound.But I know the leier is really expensive.

[Liraxtime]

You are right....

I work hard for it.

[vitalesvital]

here in Argentina is not so expensive. I have one too.

[Liraxtime]

¡Hola!

I know one company called Lira Aurelio.

Are there many of lyre makers in your country?

[emi0088]

No. Actually he's the only one who makes lyres here!

[ganemgg]

Really awfull video :) a shame for sound quality but really really pretty miss. Five of five

[Liraxtime]

You are so kind. I wish I could play it in front of you, so that you can enjoy its real sound.

[Liraxtime]

Many thanks!

[HempForPresident]
