Andrew York - Numina

[@mrmountainer5183]

I cannot put into words how much joy your music has given me over my humble 22 years. Seriously, thank you so much!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thanks for letting me know, Light Core!

[@MrChandrush]

Lutenist who never was before. I'm sure, that the world of guitar players should thanks to God, Providence and so on, that you are. Your music is beautiful and very special. I'm not a musician, but It keeps me playing guitar and love it. Thank you too. :)

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Wow, thank you Andrej!

[@ccottoneart]

I am a college level painting instructor and artist. I play your music during each class or when I am working alone. It is the perfect soul for my painting. I cant put it any other way. Thank you so much!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Carol, such a beautiful comment, I'm very pleased that my music is there for the creation of more art! Thank you.

[@brookeaday9423]

A very lyrical and pretty central theme. Another beauty.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you so much, Brooke!

[@bjorngot73]

I have been playing electric and steel string guitar for 35 years, never understood the joy of classical...until I heard Tavi Jinariu play your song "Lament". It changed everything for me. I bought myself a classical guitar, and all I do now is practice, practice and practice. I'm half way with Lament, but it's so difficult. You are such an inspiration with all your fantastic music! I wish I knew this 20 years ago...

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your kind message, Bjirn. Did you know that I wrote some easy student pieces? Maybe you want to start with those? The pieces from my book "Seven in Essence" are easier to learn than "Lament".

[@bjorngot73]

@@AndrewYorkguitar Thanks for your answer! I will definitely buy that book. I'm struggling with reading notation. It's such a long time since I did that, so starting with some easier pieces is probably a very good idea. But, I will keep trying to play Lament:)

I could see you publishing this, and other short pieces, as alternatives to Brouwer's 20 Etudes. The literature needs this. All the Best!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Billy!

[@YasmanyPuga]

Brouwer has 30 etudes.

[@BillyStewartGuitar]

@@YasmanyPuga I was referring to the long published 'Simple Etudes' which were published as 4 books of 5 studies each. Those are a staple in the modern teaching repertoire. I believe Mr. York could add to that well used bey of teaching material.

[@YasmanyPuga]

@@BillyStewartGuitar Hello. Yes, I guess you were referring to those. I just pointed out that there are ten more. They are called Nuevos estudios sencillos (New simple Etudes). They're very nice too, like the other 20. On the other hand, Andrew York works are fantastic. Now I'm studying Home 🙂 Have a good day.

Your music is such a big inspiration to me! Last year I learnt ''Home'' and I just learnt ''Lament'' a few days ago. Next one is ''Deepening'' and then slowly build myself up to ''Numen Suite'' and with lots of practice ''The equations of beauty''. Each note is so full of soul and love towards music that I am just diving deeper and deeper into understanding it more. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art wholeheartedly with us!

to me another masterpiece of mr. york. while listening to it, it gives me somehow a feeling of classical music as such, but also sounds of what had been described as "new age", - i remember listening to this windham hill productions in the early 80ies (sigh).. i guess when music triggers memories it´s always something wonderful.. thank you for that, and merry christmas, mr. york!

Numen was one of the first guitar pieces I learned which was composed in non-traditional time. That was so long ago. I was absolutely thrilled when the suite was released.

Beautiful piece , your numinous exit from screen was appropriate (a jest). I believe our great overself is stimulated by service to mankind and nourished by creativity .

I once commented that if I was a medieval king and the lutenist beside my throne couldn't play this piece l might suggest that learning a fair rendition would be a good way of keeping his gonads, just to motivate of course.

If time travel was a reality, and you aspired to be a medieval king, there would be many nervous lutenists in Europe.
