this piece sounds so peaceful on your harp!! I'm surprised this video hasn't gotten much attention yet, it definitely deserves more love! I bought myself a lyre harp; I could try playing medieval pieces like this too. Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to your other playing :D!!
I think you'd be able to play most, if not all the songs in this book of 40. I looked it over: 5 note range: 2 songs 6 note range: 5 songs 7 note range: 2 songs 8 note range: 15 songs 9 note range: 13 songs 10 note range: 2 songs 11 note range: 1 song It might depend on what the low and high note is on your lyre, and whether you want to play bass accompaniment along with it but my harp only has 25 strings, and I rarely use the top 3. My low note is a C3, and my high note is F6. The specific octaves don't really matter, it will still sound good if you raise or lower it an octave to play. So there might be one or two songs you would have trouble doing accompaniment and doing the melody. If you're just doing melody, I think they'd pretty much all work with 21 strings. The book link is in the video description. There's a bunch more in the series with a similar range. Let me know if you want a breakdown on any of the others.

Thanks. How many strings do you have on your lyre? Some of these songs might work on it.
