Notes and Soundings: A Lyre

In 2006 we published our final "newsletter"! In 2007,
our 25th year, the former newsletter gave birth to two different publications:
• The Lyre Notes contains news, announcements
and reports of recent lyre happenings, as well as a list of lyre teachers,
board members and instruments for sale or rent. It is being published
three times a year, in the fall, winter and spring, and is generally
sent to our entire mailing list. Below are links
to all issues of the Lyre Notes.
• Soundings: A Lyre Review contains
articles of substance and a music supplement. It is published in the
late fall and early spring and generally sent only to members.
By separating these two types of material, we feel we are able to
produce more frequent and better quality publications and to better
serve the needs of the lyre community in North America.

The Treasures in Soundings:
A Lyre Review |
|
| |
We hope that everyone in the lyre community is aware of the riches
in our journal, Soundings: A Lyre Review. Each issue
of Soundings is published in two parts, one containing
articles of real substance and permanent value and
the other containing a good amount of music. They
have been received much praise from the members who have been receiving
them. Below is a list of the contents of the
first three issues.
A very special feature in each issue of Soundings is an installment
of the long-awaited "Lyre Tutor" by Christof-Andreas
Lindenberg. Another highlight is the publication in the music
supplement of two sets of compositions by Christof-Andreas collected
under the title "At the Threshold or Beyond",
for those who are approaching death or who have crossed over. We are
grateful to Catherine Read and the late Jean Anderberg for their careful
and inspired editing, to Richard Carter for his extensive design work,
and to Richard Carter and Samantha Embrey for their beautiful musical
notation.
