The Orphic Hymn to Hestia is part of a composition project I am doing to set all of the ancient Orphic Hymns to folky tunes I have written for them. I use the Thomas Taylor translations of the hymns, of which there are 87 or so. This is a karaoke of the Hestia/Vesta hymn. More karaokes are forthcoming.

I am a music teacher first. That's why I release all my music, including the Orphic Hymns, for free and with no copyrights with the hope that other musicians will learn them, cover them, and generally use them in whatever way they see fit. Please seek my music out and adapt it to your tastes.

People have requested I sing this tune in other languages -- I am not good at languages for the most part, so if you are, I would be delighted if YOU sang it in Greek, French, Latin, Aramaic, etc. Let me know if you do it!
