What Music might Moses have heard as a Child in Egypt?

"The Music of Moses" - an improvisation for lyre in an ancient Egyptian scale. The inspiration behind this improvisation, was to evoke the kind of music Moses may have actually heard as a child whilst raised in the Pharaoh's court - this piece forms track 1 of my 2008 debut CD album, "King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel":

The haunting minor pentatonic scale featured in this improvisation, was deciphered by the late professor Hans Hickmann of the Museum on Cairo, from ancient Egyptian "cheironomy" gestures - an ancient system of musical notation, whereby specific hand gestures represented specific changes in pitch:

This album of 22 tracks, (representing each of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet), attempts to evoke the music of Biblical times, featuring a selection of primarily repertoire from both sacred Jewish music and instrumental klezmer music, arranged for a modern evocation of the 10-string Biblical lyre known in ancient Hebrew as the 'Kinnor' - the lyre once played by King David and later, by my very own, very ancient Levite ancestors in the Temple of Jerusalem to accompany the singing of the Levitical Choir:

A selection of tracks from "King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel" will be featured in perpetuity, as the soundscapes being created for the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC, due to open in November 2017.

"King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel" is available from all major digital music stores and streaming sites, including iTunes, Amazon & Spotify - physical CD's available from both CD Baby & Amazon!
