Echoes of Ancient Ireland (2 of 3)

There is a fascinating LEGEND/MYTH, that the Celtic Harp is, in fact, a direct ancestor of the Lyre of the Ancient Hebrews, which was apparently introduced to Ireland 2600 years ago by Israelites who fled there in exile, after the Fall the of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586BCE...

This is a quote from John Wheeler's fascinating website on music from the time of the Hebrew Bible...

http://www.rakkav.com/biblemusic/pages/instruments.htm

"...The "harp of Tara", symbol of Ireland, is linked by Irish traditional history to the "harp of David". This last was said to have been brought to Ireland (among other artifacts) by "Ollamh Fodhla" (identified with the prophet Jeremiah), his scribe "Simon Brach" (identified with Baruch the scribe of Jeremiah), and "Tea Tephi" (identified with the daughter of King Zedekiah of Judah). Was this connection merely mythical, or could it have had a basis in truth?"

Therefore, in order to give this legend some of basis in truth, here is an ACTUAL replica of the Lyre of the Ancient Hebrews (whose design is based on illustration found on ancient Jewish coins); which both King David himself once played - on which I am playing my own arrangement of "Spancil Hill"; one of the most haunting of ALL ancient Irish Airs...

Ancient Irish music really DOES work, when played on the Lyre of the Ancient Hebrews; the original "Harp of David" - maybe there IS some truth in the fascinating legend of the Jewish origin of the Celtic Harp afterall????

NB!!! This video is JUST meant as a harmless little "Musical Adventure in Time Travel" - I am NOT attempting to be "controversial" in trying to re-write history, and my intention is certainly NOT to offend ANY person's particular religious beliefs or traditions! It is merely a fascinating, harmless MYTH...but just maybe, with some hint of truth behind it??? What does anyone else out there know about this fascinating piece of Irish Folklore???
