In some cases there is music for 'solo lyre' – an instrument with wide range which Colin played masterfully. These pieces could also be adapted to be played by more than one lyre.
CONTENTS:
• Arion
Two pieces based on the following Greek myth:
Arion was the most gifted lyre player of his time and was captured by pirates on his way back from winning a music competition. The pirates gave him the choice of committing suicide or being thrown in the sea to perish. Arion asked to play a last song to win time, and this song brought dolphins around the ship, one of which rescued him when he threw himself into the sea. This dolphin died and is represented by the constellation Delphinus.
Colin wrote much music for the Arion Association of Lyre Players of Great Britain and Ireland (see www.lyreworld.net).
• Samovar Suite Six pieces for a Russian story.
• Magi Two separate compositions with related material:-
Music for Magi
Journey of the Magi
• Awakening Calls Using the Planetary Scales for the days
• Evening and Morning Using Planetary Scales
