The lirone was the most harmonious of the bowed instruments. Lauded by contemporary writers for its ability to 'move the soul, instil devotion and refresh the spirit', it was a key member of the 17th-century continuo group. Though much remarked-upon by 17th-century writers, the lirone was virtually ignored by the early-music movement, with the exception of my own revival of it from the early 1980s. The Greek lyre was traditionally depicted being played by Apollo atop Parnassus. The lirone has its origins in the early 16th century, when it was invented to emulate the classical instrument. It found its true niche, however, in 17th-century Rome, where it flourished most notably under the patronage of an extravagant papacy: the Monte Vaticano had become the lirone's Parnassus. Much attention still needs to be given to this important instrument and its music. An investigation of all surviving instruments and iconography, a study of all known repertoire, insight into how the instrument sounded and was played and finding solutions to performance practice problems from evidence in musical sources, treatises, diaries and archives will all contribute to a rediscovery of the lirone's remarkable sonority and help to restore it to its unique place in accompanying the voice in 17th-century opera, oratorio and vocal chamber music.Rehearsals with professional musicians and workshops for students will become creative forums for addressing performance-practice issues. Concert tours (in Europe and the USA) and CD and radio recordings will increase awareness and appreciation of the lirone not only for musical audiences, but also for directors and other players, who are still relatively ignorant about appropriate ways in which to use the instrument. Published articles will cover instruments, repertoire, sources and cultural context, but the most practical and useful tool of all will undoubtedly be a workbook/technical guide on playing the instrument.

里昂是弓上乐器中最和谐的。它是17世纪延续派的关键成员，受到当代作家的称赞，因为它具有打动灵魂、灌输奉献精神和提振精神的能力。虽然17世纪的作家对里昂进行了很多评论，但里昂实际上被早期音乐运动忽视了，除了我自己在20世纪80年代初对它的复兴。传统上，希腊里拉是由阿波罗在帕纳苏斯山顶上演奏的。里昂起源于16世纪初，当时它是为了模仿古典乐器而发明的。然而，它在17世纪的罗马找到了真正的利基市场，在那里，它最引人注目的是在奢侈的教皇的庇护下蓬勃发展：梵蒂冈成为里昂的帕纳苏斯。这件重要的乐器及其音乐仍然需要给予很大的关注。调查所有幸存的乐器和肖像，研究所有已知的曲目，洞察乐器的发声和演奏方式，从音乐来源、论文、日记和档案中找到解决演奏实践问题的方法，所有这些都将有助于重新发现里罗内非凡的响度，并帮助恢复它在17世纪歌剧、清唱剧和声乐室音乐中伴随声音的独特地位。专业音乐家的排练和学生工作坊将成为解决表演实践问题的创造性论坛。巡回演唱会(在欧洲和美国)以及CD和广播录音将不仅增加音乐观众对里罗内的认识和欣赏，也将增加导演和其他演奏者对里罗内的认识和欣赏，他们仍然对如何使用这种乐器的适当方式相对无知。已发表的文章将涉及乐器、曲目、来源和文化背景，但最实用和最有用的工具无疑是关于演奏乐器的练习册/技术指南。
