Almost 5000 years old the Lyre of Ur commonly known as the Harp of Ur is truly the oldest wonder of the world of music.
|
|
|
|
| Our
goals and Commitments to the Project |
|
- We
would like this project
to be a tribute to Iraq and the Iraqi
People, our aim to make the lyre for the
Iraqi people and as a sign for freedom
and a symbol of peace.
|
- We
are involving in our team,
craftsmen and professionals, of any political
or religious persuasion, who share the
aims of the project. This is a non-political
project.
|
- We
are researching the background
and the making of the original instrument
and trying to learn how the Sumerian artists
might have approached problems.
|
- We
will record our work,
research, list of supporters and the process
of making the Golden Lyre into an exhibition
which will accompany the Lyre in a tour
throughout the world before it reaches
its final destination in Iraq.
|
- We
aim to have two professional
musicians, an Iraqi and a western musician
to advise us and help to us professionally
tune the Golden Lyre. The very first music
played by the Lyre will be composed by
these two musicians.
|
- We
are non profit organisation
and we are committed to be totally transparent
in our work. Members of the public from
all over the world are invited to donate
and be part of this worthy project, and
every person who donates to this project
will have the right to know and see where
their donation went.
|
- Finally
we would like to stress
that this project is a tribute to Iraq
and the Iraqi People for what they have
endured recently, we aim to make this
project as a symbol and noble gesture
of peace and harmony not only in Iraq
but in the whole world. We also would
like to stress that this Golden Lyre does
not belong to anyone but the Iraqi People
and we look forward to take it back to
its rightful place in Iraq.
