The live tracks I am playing, are of track 4, "Jersualem of Gold" (also known as "Israel's Second National Anthem" & made famous by the legendary singing of the late Ofra Haza) & track 10, "Eternal Peace" (my arrangement for Davidic Harp, of the beautiful Shabbat melody "Ose Shalom" (The One Who Brings Peace).

The exquisite evocation of the 3000 year old Biblical 'Davidic Harp' featured in this album, is hand-crafted by Marini Made Harps:

In this performance, I also rid myself from the dull constraints of modern equal temperament, and tune my lyre divisively into "just intonation".

The Davidic "Harp", was, in fact a lyre - much was lost in the translation from the original Hebrew into the English language. This instrument, is, therefore instead, really a modern evocation of the 10 string Biblical "Kinnor", as mentioned in both the Biblical text & in the writings of the 1 st centrury Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, who actually witnessed the Levites play their lyres in the ancient Temple service.
