“I have experimented with various string musical instruments in the past,” says Theodore Koumartzis, a virtuoso lyre player with a worldwide reputation. “Without a doubt, the lyre has shown me that by implementing simple elements to your music, you can effortlessly compose something complete that speaks straight to your heart and intellectuality.” In this book, you will find a series of original compositions ideal for anyone willing to practice demanding pieces of music, especially written for the lyre.

“This Sheet Music Book is one of our latest additions to our effort to enrich the available educational resources for lyre and lyre-like musical instruments,” Nikolaos Koumartzis, the series’ director, explains. The book is part of the Lyre Sheet Music series, in which some of the greatest lyre players around the world participate, including Thanasis Kleopas, Michael Levy, Lina Palera, Giorgio Sancristoforo, et cetera.
