Medieval Symphony by Bryan Tolley

  ▶ Medieval Symphony by Bryan Tolley - YouTube

This short video demonstrates a medieval symphony made by Bryan Tolley. This simple instrument has been redesigned by Bryan to include some unique features that offer the musician several scales (or modes) in spite of a diatonic keyboard, and also a relatively loud voice from a single melody string.

via Bryan Tolley -
I have recently made a series of medieval symphonies that were designed as less expensive alternative to the walnut and boxwood models that I usually produce. These new instruments have some very original features that I'll certainly consider adding to all my symphonies from now on. Please don't be put off by what appears to be a diatonic keyboard; this colourful box can play in several modes and scales and it puts out quite a sound! For anyone interested, the links below will give further details and there's also a brief demonstration video of the instrument. The symphony comes with a lined wooden case and strap for 1000€ plus postage. At present, there's only a yellow/black instrument remaining, but if that colour doesn't suit you other symphonies can be built to order.

14 OCTOBER; Rivne, UKRAINE: "Free People"

**

14 жовтня 2014р.м.Рівне, Палац дітей та молоді, зал театру студії "Від ліхтаря". В рамках фестивалю "Лірницька Покрова в Рівному" запрошуємо на перегляд документального фільму "Вільні люди" режисера Ганни Яровенко. *

П"ятеро сучасних кобзарів-лірників погодились на декілька днів стати манрівними співцями і спробувати заробити на життя манруючи селами та співаючи для людей на ярмарках, біля церков, у дворах, у полі. Для цього обрали кілька сіл Черкаської області. Як сьогодні люди це сприймуть? Чи є актуальним для нас те, про що співають лірники та кобзарі? Авторка порівнює сьогоднішні музичні смаки та нашу музичну спадщину.

** special thanks to Myron Postolan for providing this information in English -

 - This documentary film by Hanna Yarovenko entitled "Free People" sets five modern day kobzari and lirnyky to spend a few days as wandering singers trying to earn a living. The project was filmed in several villages in the Cherkassy oblast at traditional places like markets, near to churches, yards and fields. 

- How would present day society accept them? Are the songs of the kobzari-lirnyky appropriate for present day life? The producer compares today's musical taste to that of our (Ukrainian) musical heritage.

* (Translated by Bing) October 14, 2014. the city of Rivne, the Palace of children and youth, the Hall of the Theatre Studio "from the lamp". In the framework of the Festival "Lìrnic′ka Pokrova in Rovno" invite to view the documentary "free people" directed by Anna Yarovenko.

See "âtero of contemporary art-lìrnikìv agreed for a few days to become manrìvnimi spìvcâmi and try to earn a living manruûči villages and singing for people at fairs, at churches, backyards in the box. To do this, choose several villages of Cherkasy oblast. As of today the people's Parliament? Are relevant for us what sing lirnyk and kobzar? The author compares today's musical tastes and our musical heritage.
