"Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul." — Plato "Nikriz" is an original composition for the ancient lyre and the ancient ney, inspired by the nikriz maqam, a powerful scale of Arabic classical music that can evoke nostalgia, a sense of introspection, and longing for the past. Plato and Aristotle once said that different music scales evoke different emotions. Their theory, named "ethos," was infused in every ancient world music system, including Arabic classical music and its maqams. Nikriz is closely related to the Ancient Greek Phrygian mode, proving that music is a universal language that evokes similar emotions across different cultures. In this video, Theodore Koumartzis performs on a LUTHIEROS ancient lyre, masterfully handcrafted in Greece, accompanying Valentina Bellanova on her ney. ⚫ Find the perfect lyre for you at https://luthieros.com/ 🔵 Learn how to play the lyre and other ancient musical instruments at https://lyreacademy.com ⚪ Check out Theodore's lyre at https://luthieros.com/product/the-dar... 🎬 Directed by Nikolaos Koumartzis The video session took place inside the tranquil COCO-MAT Berlin store. 🎙️ Who is Valentina?

Her teachers of Ney and modal music include Ross Daly, Ömer Erdogdular, Kudsi Erguner, whereas she studied the recorder and Early Music with David Bellugi, Federico Maria Sardelli, and Ulrich Thieme.
