Notes and Editorial Reviews
Result of a historical collaboration between composer Michael Mauldin and British harpist Andrew Lowings, who began a project to construct a replica of the Gold Lyre of Ur. Moved by the instrument's legacy and the narrative possibilities of the project, Mauldin composed The Last Musician of Ur for orchestra and harp, crafting a flowing narrative following the last musician to play the historic instrument as he is torn between inescapable destruction and the hope of timeless, international peace. This EP offers Mauldin's piece, along with the historical background of the project.
