Watch this video to learn how to play “Joy to the World” on the lyre harp. This is a popular Christmas carol adapted from the music of George Frideric Handel by Lowell Mason, with lyrics written by Isaac Watts. Notes for this piece are in the video and can also be downloaded on my Patreon page.
Tuning instructions:
This is a 16-string lyre in the video. Tune the strings to the following notes:
G, A, B, C D E F G A B C’ D’ E’ F’ G’ A’
or sometimes written as:
G3 A3 B3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4 B4 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 A5
To play using both hands:
Simply assign the low notes to one hand and the high notes to the other.
Have fun! 😃
