Lifespring Theme (Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) Lyre Harp Cover
🕑 Added 2024-08-07 12:25:30 +0000 UTCThis pretty tune is from the Lifespring scenes in the game. I think it works well on the clear lyre. I made it into a Short because YouTube will loop it like in the game. A heads up - YouTube Shorts don't let me control the volume, so let me know if it's too loud! Thank you and please enjoy!

Hi Andrea! I listened to the song Misty and the velvety singing by Ella Fitzgerald. Jazz music, including this song, features a fair amount of accidentals - notes that fall outside the diatonic scale. Most lyres, being diatonic, lack the strings to play the full melody of the song. A chromatic instrument, such as the chromatic lyre or the piano, is a more suitable choice for this song. I've found a sheet music that boils down the song to just the main melody, where the lyrics were sang: https://musescore.com/user/29726630/scores/5414275 Every time there is a flat symbol (b), the diatonic lyre won't be able to play it, and can only resort to the nearest available natural note. As a result, anywhere with these flattened notes, the melody will sound different if played on the diatonic lyre. For the same reason, many jazz and classical pieces don't fit with diatonic instruments. I wish I knew a better solution than to change to a chromatic instrument. If there's anything I can help with, please let me know!

I’m a companion sitter and one of my clients wants me to learn to play Misty by EllaFitzgerald. Do you know that one or where I could get the lyre tabs for it?
