Seigneurs Sachiez - French Crusader Song: ruclips.net/video/c07tEwg4j3I/видео.htmlsi=7v9l-h3LjXEB0FNT Arrangement and vocals by Farya Faraji. This one is effectively a Medieval propaganda song from 1145, composed as a means to motivate men to join in the Second Crusade, led in France by Louis VII, in response to the fall of the Fortress of Edessa in 1144, which sees the Pope Eugene III launching the Crusade. The song was found in the Codex Amplonianus 8 ° 32, manuscript in Germany, and given the language used, it seems to have been copied by an Anglo-Normand. The arrangement, as far as my intent is concerned, is meant to be entirely historically accurate, and therefore showcases the highly heterophonic and melodic nature of European Medieval music, without any of the modern accoutrements of chords and harmony. The instrumentation consists of a Greek lavta standing in for a Medieval lute (they were effectively the same instrument in the broad strokes, a flute, fidule and hammered dulcimer.) I especially wanted the vocals to be historically accurate, and they reflect the well documented reality of Medieval singing being very different from its usual depiction in most modern performances, which use an anachronistic, modern conservatory style of singing: clear, fully diatonic singing with almost no pitch inflection, rapid changes or sudden articulation; typical "Western" sounding singing to our modern ears. Western European medieval singing however was far closer to Balkanic, Andalusian or Middle-Eastern practice, full of ornamentation, micro-tonal inflections, trills and pulsating sounds, see my video where I explain this aspect in more detail: ruclips.net/video/hxcH7S2BaiQ/видео.html The pronunciation however is bound to be inaccurate in many parts: I could find very little resources for Old French pronunciation, and therefore followed that used in most renditions such as Jordi Savall's, I however cannot confirm their own accuracy in terms of pronunciation, so this may be a case of the blind leading the blind. Generally however, Old French was far closer to what we would think of as a typical Romance-language pronunciation, and sounded very different from today's French pronunciation: Lyrics in Old French: Chevalier, mult estes guariz, Quant Deu a vus fait sa clamur Des Turs e des Amoraviz, Ki li unt fait tels deshenors. Cher a tort unt ses fîeuz saiziz; Bien en devums aveir dolur, Cher la fud Deu primes servi E reconnu pur segnuur. Ki ore irat od Loovis Ja mar d’enfern avrat pouur, Char s’aime en iert en pareïs Od les angles nostre Segnor. Pris est Rohais, ben le savez, Dunt crestiens sunt esmaiez, Les mustiers ars e désertez: Deus ni est mais sacrifiez. Chivalers, cher vus purpensez, Vus ki d’armes estes preisez; A celui voz cors présentez Ki pur vus fut en cruiz drecez. Pernez essample a Lodevis, Ki plus ad que vus nen avez: Riches est e poesteïz, Sur tuz altres reis curunez: Déguerpit ad e vair e gris, Chastels e viles e citez: Il est turnez a icelui Ki pur nus fut en croiz penez. Deus ad un turnei enpris Entre Enfern e Pareïs, Si mande trestuz ses amis Ki lui volent guarantir Qu’il ne li seient failliz, Le Filz Deus al Creatur A Rohais estre ad mis un jorn. La serunt salf li pecceür! Alum conquere Moïses, Ki gist el munt de Sinaï; A Saragins nel laisum mais, Ne la verge dunt il partid La Roge mer tut ad un fais, Quant le grant pople le seguit; E Pharaon revint après: Il e li suon furent périt. English translation: Knight, your salvation is much more likely, When you have heard the clamor of God. For the Turks and Almoravids, Have greatly dishonored Him. Unjustly they have seized His fiefs; For this we must feel deep pain, Since there God was first served, And recognized as Lord. Whoever goes now with King Louis, Should not fear the sea of Hell, For his soul will go to Paradise, With the Angels and Our Lord. Rohais was taken, as you know, And Christians are discouraged, Monasteries were burned and deserted: God's sacrifice is no longer offered there. Knight, consider this carefully, You, who are skilled in the use of arms, Offer your heart to Him, Who was placed on the Cross for you. Whoever goes now with King Louis, Should not fear the sea of Hell, For his soul will go to Paradise, With the Angels and Our Lord. Let us re-conquer the land of Moses, Who camped on Mount Sinai; Let us never allow Saracen hands, To grasp the rod he used to separate, The Red Sea's waves with just one act, As a great multitude followed him; And when the Pharaoh came after them, He and his cohorts perished there. Whoever goes now with King Louis, Should not fear the sea of Hell, For his soul will go to Paradise, With the Angels and Our Lord.
Small type, says Edessa fell in 1444 when it should be 1144. Otherwise, love this, like all of your other compositions and videos. Keep up the wonderful work. :)
@@greygamertales1293I did in Modern French since it’s a usual part of the curriculum like Shakespeare is in Anglophone countries, but not in the original Old French text. That said whenever I find proper resources on its pronunciation I really want to make it different parts of it into music
When a badass Persian Man makes a Song that makes all Western Europeans extremely proud of their heritage, and he does a better Job than all of the people who are actually descended from them
I mean don't get me wrong, a person even from Smethwick, Birmingham or even Leeds CAN make for example, a close to "authentic" Byzantine song but i guess someone from persia probably have closer connection to former Constantinople than someone from like i said, Leeds.
I'm Romanian and I am amazed to see that I can understand a bit of this song. Like the "Les musteirs ars e desertez" = Mănăstirile arse si deșertate (in romanian) and "mult estes" is "Este mult" in Romanian ( but since its plural it would be "multi sunt"). It seems old French is closer to Romanian than modern French
I always say Romanian has Latin hardware and Slavic software. Since Old French is a lot closer to its Latin origins in pronunciation it also make it easier for us Romanians to understand it via our romance language connection. Which we can still do with modern French, but I feel like we tend to phonetically understand Spanish and Italian in a greater capacity than we do modern French.
One of the best performances of this classic ever done by anyone. I think I prefer yours over the more "polished" conservatory recordings for it's authenticity and because you actually sing and play like what I imagine an actual medieval troubadour to have sounded like rather than an opera singer.
Thanks alot. I made a point to sing according the descriptions of Medieval treatises, who describe European singing as similar to this, and unlike modern European conservatory style singing
"Crusaders' Song: Chevalier, Mult Estes Guaritz, 1146 Jordi Savall" - This is also a pretty good considering. Sometimes I like to listen to this video as an intro, then play the version I recommended for some kind of finale. Give it a go and let me know what you think:)
French is pretty much pronounced as written, you just need to know the rules. If yiu showed a random french word to a french, he would most likely know how to pronounce it even if he never heard it because french pronounciation rules are pretty solid.
@@oqo3310 Aside from the grammar rules, just how their script is written. There are always a few unnecessary letters (like English, but more), otherwise French should be easier to read.
@PROOB-xq2rq French is far more consistent in its pronunciation compared to English. Nowadays people are more used to English’s exceptions. But I won’t lie, both are a nightmare for pronunciation.
It takes a special kind of talent to represent such a wide artistic landscape. Whenever I listen to an obscure and long forgotten music piece I always wonder what would Farya's rendition of it will be? Bravo on a rendition well done!
J'aime beaucoup. Ça donne envie de chanter avec toi et avec d'autres, en marchant ou en dansant ensemble. Pour la prononciation du vieux français, je suis aussi en train de chercher des ressources, documents, peut-être des exemples audio, mais je n'ai pas encore trouvé. En tout cas, j'aime bien la prononciation que tu as choisie. J'ai découvert ta chaîne il y a 20 minutes et je suis bien heureux que YT ait décidé de m'envoyer dans les couloirs du temps (huhu).
Je me posais la même question : quelles ressources y'a t'il concernant la prononciation de l'ancien français ? J'imagine que même en faisant au mieux c'est un choix un peu arbitraire.
Magnifique, les mots me manquent pour décrire à quel point cette chanson est incroyable, et sublimée comme jamais par ta présence et ta voix. Milles félicitations!
I feel like I've heard you sing this before, but I know you haven't. But its one of those things that I can say feel like you were meant to be singing it. I think you'd also do a kickass rendition of something like Le Rois Louis. Keep the tunes coming in time for when I get u some ghormeh sabzi.
Thanks man! I kind of did le Roi Louis, but not the version most people are used to. The popular version is modern lyrics written about the crusades by the Choeur de la Joyeuse Garde in the modern day, but the melody is from a 1600’s love ballad called La Fille au Roy Louis; that’s the one I covered :)
Thank you for this beautiful work. Even for us French it is hard to get old French, so you really put an incredible effort on that. The music is superb too. THANKS !
Je travaillais puis d'une seconde à l'autre, j'entends ta reprise dans mon mix. J'ai été agréablement surpris en écoutant ton chant. C'est rare de voir d'aussi belle chose !
I am very glad that I discovered your RUclips channel. I'm glad you were able to leave Iran, it would have been so sad for the world not to be able to hear your voice and compositions. You are very talented. Greetings for România!
Very interesting that we see the evolution of the name _Louis_ within the same song, since he's referred to as both Lodovis and Loovis. The name is, of course, Germanic from _Ludwig;_ hlūdaz ("loud, famous") and wiganą ("to battle, to fight") respectively, the resulting name meaning "famous warrior" or "famous in battle". (Thanks, Wikipedia)
My mum and her sisters (German here) had pet tortoises as kids - or was it some other relative? Anyway, one of them was named Ludwig. The name reminds me of that old tortoise sometimes; I still got to know the fellow ere he passed away. Silent bloke, always paddling about in his tank up in my grandma's attic. You reminded me of him for some reason; thank you!
@@robinrehlinghaus1944, Speaking of tortoises, that reminds me of Nintendo's _Super Mario Bros._ and Mario's own brother being Luigi; the Italian version of the name, Ludwig.
Bravo à toi ! Un excellent travail, je trouve ça très beau et très honorable de chanter ces chants qui ont marqué l'histoire, des cultures et des peuples malgré le temps qui nous sépare, la musique reconnecte avec le passé j'en suis convaincu. Merci encore pour ce chant et le travail que tu fournis sur la période antique et médiévale, petite suggestion à quand un chant basque ou alors dans un patois d'autres pays ;)
Bravo!!! Great music! The visuals also really contributed to the atmosphere. I love your historical approach. Please make more medieval music like this!!!
You are so fantastic Farya Faraji!! Salut for long live and music!!!

The solo lute and framedrum and later the santoor dropped so nice!! You captured very awesome the energy of this song! Funny thing is that lately I was listening to this song a lot and even thought "hmmm Farya should make one." 😆
En tant que français, j’apprécie et reconnais la valeur de ton travail. Merci pour ce que tu fais pour notre patrimoine, si peu mis en valeur dans mon propre pays. Continue comme ça tu mérite bien plus de reconnaissance 😉
Quelle fierté de voir un chant ancestral, si cher à notre culture, être aussi brillament interpreté. Dans le monde actuel qui tend à uniformiser tristement toutes les cultures, je trouve cette démarche tellement primordiale. Que Dieu, dans sa grande mansuétude, vous bénisse tous. ✝️🙏🏻⚜️
Ce n'est pas notre culture. C'est la culture d'un peuple qui existait il y a 900 ans. Si on se retrouvait catapulté en Francie au XIIème siècle, on serait complètement dépaysé.
@@ysgramornorris2452 I sometimes wonder how such people, who proudly proclaim the France of 900 years ago to be their culture, would react to being made to join an actual crusade...
@@comradewindowsill4253 I would gladly and gallantly take place in King Louis' army of brave men who left their homes, their land, their family to fight for the Lord's grace.
@jeansanchez2805 I wouldn't count 15th century France as "my" culture. Hell, one hundred years ago was a very different culture! 1923 was two Republics ago, we didn't have TV, much less the Internet, boys and girls went to different schools, our borders were different (thanks to, or rather because of, the colonies we had), we still had a draft, war was seen as a necessary evil to relieve international tensions every once in a while, linguistic prescriptivism was ten times worse than it is today, people were comparatively poor, women weren't allowed to vote... It's mind-boggling how fast cultures change, how can anyone consider cultures from several centuries ago to be their own? Unless those cultures are some of the few that change extremely slowly, which isn't the case in the West.
Thanks for your music. It open our mind and ears to the past. It give the past a sound and a face. I wonder if you can take a look to the music during the Spanish Reconquista which was the Iberian Crusade.
I'm in love with your channel and music for many months now! There are still some songs I haven't seen you covering but you keep surprising me! I enjoyed your interpretation of this one so much! Thank you Farya, you're making my everyday routine so much better
Thank you Farya. Medieval French and Occitan melismatic singing have big similarity to Eastern Mediterranean style singing, including the instrument you used, since Western civilization was born from Eastern Mediterranean region and Mesopotamia. Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia are the ancient Western civilization. We have to honor our ancient creator civilizations and their people originating from those civilizations today, instead of creating superficial cultural segregation.
@@justinianthegreat1444 Thats just ignorant. It is fairly common knowledge that the success of the Roman civilization is owed to its great capability to adapt and assimilate from OTHER cultures. The Legions were inspired by Greek formations, Gallic, Germanic, North African and Parthian equipment, middle eastern leadership doctrines, Egyptian traditions of combined arms tactics, list continues. Roman architecture, philosophy, statesmanship and literature as well as elementary scientific knowledge was almost entirely adapted from Greece, who in turn took most from the Persians (who took it from the Mesopotamians, Babylonians etc.). Egyptian culture became so influential in the Roman empire the goddess Isis was integrated into the main Pantheon. Most of the aforementioned cultures adapted what they could from the truly ancient civilizations of the middle east. Christianity on the other hand borrowed everything it deemed useful from older religions....and then condemned the rest. It didn't really contribute anything to civilization, on the contrary, it often did its best to eradicate all achievements of pagan cultures wherever it was spread. Someone who named himself after Justinian, the final codifier of Roman law, would better be aware that the Christian church almost wiped out said Roman Law, with the exception of fracturs that were adopted as Canonical law and what found its way into the common law systems of the migrating tribes. If not for the recovery of Roman law though the first European universities, this would have been a critical loss to "western civilization", as all modern civil law systems are based on Roman law,
@@justinianthegreat1444 And your alphabet derived originally from where if not the Phoenicians, huh? You also have forgotten that Christianity IS part of the Oriental world, heavily influenced by Semitic belief system and tradition. People of Mediterranean are far different from their own Northern Europe counterpart, such as Frankish, Germans, Norse, Danish, English, etc.
@@al.5333 Christianity did NOT try to eradicate all pagan achievements, what are you on about? We believe that many of those pagans were building a bridge to Christ and leading towards Him. Christ is the fulfilment of everything. Read actual church history and the Church Father's before spilling out that typical basic modern ignorance
Your video for Le Tourdion randomly appeared on my feed today. I really enjoyed it so I have listened to a few more of your songs. I am an American but I have always resonated with the Medieval Times in Europe and most of the time periods that you seem to cover in your music. I must have had a past life in the Medieval period because it has always struck a chord with me (haha) and your music transports me back, somehow. Thank you for these beautiful songs, I look forward to listening to more. You have a wonderful voice and an amazing talent.
I return to this song again and again. I feel like a zealot Christian soldier ready to fight and die for The Lord. Εξαιρετική δουλειά. Μπράβο Φαρία, για ακόμη μια φορά, μπράβο!
Thank you for the text and the translation ;-) I was quite confused at first for not understanding much. Quite interesting and nice to listen to. Tahnk you.
I love this version. I have heard this song sung in the way you describe as being more modern. I probably have a couple of different versions in my music collection, but this surpasses anything I have heard.
le plus drôle pour moi c'est presque de mieux comprendre les paroles traduites en anglais que le celles du vieux français haha (très sympathique en tout cas!)
Farya with the new graphics haha, anyhow, sweet stuff! EDIT: It does make me actually wonder if there ever were any musical responses from either the Muslims in Iberia or NA and Middle East to the crusades, much like this for the Catholics.
Yeah that’s a great point, I’ve tried doing some research but I guess being able to read Arabic or Turkish should wield more results. I’d love to cover Islamic responses if there were any, it would give a more complete picture
How to approach this? We can hear this as a work of pure art today because the horrors of the wars it helped encourage are a thousand years ago. They were real back then. It's beautiful, certainly, and I appreciate that beauty, but it puts me on my guard, much like a well-crafted campaign ad. That's essentially what it is. I never want to see soldiers sung to battle again. I'd like to see a Wilfred Owen for every Jessie Pope.
It's a langue d'oïl Old to Middle French. Is it Normano-French? Could be; it wouldn't differ much from other Northern French dialects and usages but the song would be more necessary for knights in service of the Anglo-Norman King of England and Duke of Normandy by 1145. That must've been Stephen/Éstienne de Blois. Pronunciation is legit. A little bit too Provençal/Occitan/Aquitanian, langue d'oc-ish, almost Catalan for my ear but completely intelligible and beautifully sung.

Lyrics in Old French:
Chevalier, mult estes guariz,
Quant Deu a vus fait sa clamur
Des Turs e des Amoraviz,
Ki li unt fait tels deshenors.
Cher a tort unt ses fîeuz saiziz;
Bien en devums aveir dolur,
Cher la fud Deu primes servi
E reconnu pur segnuur.
Ki ore irat od Loovis
Ja mar d’enfern avrat pouur,
Char s’aime en iert en pareïs
Od les angles nostre Segnor.
Pris est Rohais, ben le savez,
Dunt crestiens sunt esmaiez,
Les mustiers ars e désertez:
Deus ni est mais sacrifiez.
Chivalers, cher vus purpensez,
Vus ki d’armes estes preisez;
A celui voz cors présentez
Ki pur vus fut en cruiz drecez.
Pernez essample a Lodevis,
Ki plus ad que vus nen avez:
Riches est e poesteïz,
Sur tuz altres reis curunez:
Déguerpit ad e vair e gris,
Chastels e viles e citez:
Il est turnez a icelui
Ki pur nus fut en croiz penez.
Deus ad un turnei enpris
Entre Enfern e Pareïs,
Si mande trestuz ses amis
Ki lui volent guarantir
Qu’il ne li seient failliz,
Le Filz Deus al Creatur
A Rohais estre ad mis un jorn.

Quant le grant pople le seguit;
E Pharaon revint après:
Il e li suon furent périt.
English translation:
Knight, your salvation is much more likely,
When you have heard the clamor of God.
For the Turks and Almoravids,
Have greatly dishonored Him.
Unjustly they have seized His fiefs;
For this we must feel deep pain,
Since there God was first served,
And recognized as Lord.
Whoever goes now with King Louis,
Should not fear the sea of Hell,
For his soul will go to Paradise,
With the Angels and Our Lord.
Rohais was taken, as you know,
And Christians are discouraged,
Monasteries were burned and deserted:
God's sacrifice is no longer offered there.
Knight, consider this carefully,
You, who are skilled in the use of arms,
Offer your heart to Him,
Who was placed on the Cross for you.
Whoever goes now with King Louis,
Should not fear the sea of Hell,
For his soul will go to Paradise,
With the Angels and Our Lord.

Epic talk에서 예시로 보여주신거 보고 듣게 되었습니다. 불가리아인 학살자(βουλγαροκτονος)나 바랑인 친위대, 파랑기스의 애가(The lament of farangis)처럼 생각날때 마다 듣는곡 중에 하나입니다. 😊😊
another masterpiece has just dropped
love your songs and efforts
You perfectly caught the spirit of the song and it renders so damn well ! Good job !
Je travaillais puis d'une seconde à l'autre, j'entends ta reprise dans mon mix. J'ai été agréablement surpris en écoutant ton chant. C'est rare de voir d'aussi belle chose !
I am very glad that I discovered your RUclips channel. I'm glad you were able to leave Iran, it would have been so sad for the world not to be able to hear your voice and compositions. You are very talented. Greetings for România!
Our ancestors Almoravids are mentioned in the song How proud I am
⚜️🇫🇷 As a French, bravo et merci.
I’m glad you made a cover of this. It’s one of my favorite songs in the historical music genre, if that’s even a thing
Very interesting that we see the evolution of the name _Louis_ within the same song, since he's referred to as both Lodovis and Loovis.
The name is, of course, Germanic from _Ludwig;_ hlūdaz ("loud, famous") and wiganą ("to battle, to fight") respectively, the resulting name meaning "famous warrior" or "famous in battle".
(Thanks, Wikipedia)
My mum and her sisters (German here) had pet tortoises as kids - or was it some other relative? Anyway, one of them was named Ludwig. The name reminds me of that old tortoise sometimes; I still got to know the fellow ere he passed away. Silent bloke, always paddling about in his tank up in my grandma's attic. You reminded me of him for some reason; thank you!
@@robinrehlinghaus1944,
Speaking of tortoises, that reminds me of Nintendo's _Super Mario Bros._ and Mario's own brother being Luigi; the Italian version of the name, Ludwig.
@@fuferito Right, I never realised that!
The first King Louis of France was Clovis, known as Hlodovic in his mother tongue.
i thought it came from Chlodoweg (Clovis in Frankish)
Bravo à toi ! Un excellent travail, je trouve ça très beau et très honorable de chanter ces chants qui ont marqué l'histoire, des cultures et des peuples malgré le temps qui nous sépare, la musique reconnecte avec le passé j'en suis convaincu. Merci encore pour ce chant et le travail que tu fournis sur la période antique et médiévale, petite suggestion à quand un chant basque ou alors dans un patois d'autres pays ;)
très belle interprétation de ce chant
Thanks for helping bring back music from the past!
i thank you for your work, and your excellent explanation of your sources and method
Muito obrigado por sua interpretação dessa bela música, Farya.
Très bel arrangement, bravo !!! j'avais déjà entendu cet air, et le retrouver par hasard est une belle trouvaille, tout comme l'est votre chaîne.
Bravo!!! Great music! The visuals also really contributed to the atmosphere. I love your historical approach. Please make more medieval music like this!!!
Thank you very much!
This channel is just a gift that keeps giving
Much love Farya
Your music makes me feel better everyday, thank you Farya
That Greek Larva might as well BE a medieval lute! Hell, if I had one I'd probably take it with me everywhere I went, lol.
Actually I thought it WAS a lure!
You are so fantastic Farya Faraji!! Salut for long live and music!!!
The solo lute and framedrum and later the santoor dropped so nice!! You captured very awesome the energy of this song! Funny thing is that lately I was listening to this song a lot and even thought "hmmm Farya should make one." 😆
I FUCKIN LOVE FRANCE VIVA FRNACE VIVO CHRISTO REY
Thank you for covering this. Its my most favourite crusader song
This instrumental slaps so hard omg
L'âge d'or de la France
Loved this song for a long while, now we have a rendition by my favourite artist. Most excellent.
En tant que français, j’apprécie et reconnais la valeur de ton travail. Merci pour ce que tu fais pour notre patrimoine, si peu mis en valeur dans mon propre pays. Continue comme ça tu mérite bien plus de reconnaissance 😉
Marvellous version, Keep up the amazing work!
Quelle fierté de voir un chant ancestral, si cher à notre culture, être aussi brillament interpreté.
Dans le monde actuel qui tend à uniformiser tristement toutes les cultures, je trouve cette démarche tellement primordiale.
Que Dieu, dans sa grande mansuétude, vous bénisse tous.
✝️🙏🏻⚜️
Ce n'est pas notre culture. C'est la culture d'un peuple qui existait il y a 900 ans. Si on se retrouvait catapulté en Francie au XIIème siècle, on serait complètement dépaysé.
@@ysgramornorris2452 I sometimes wonder how such people, who proudly proclaim the France of 900 years ago to be their culture, would react to being made to join an actual crusade...
@@comradewindowsill4253 I would gladly and gallantly take place in King Louis' army of brave men who left their homes, their land, their family to fight for the Lord's grace.
@@ysgramornorris2452 900 years, or 9. It's the French culture to its fullest.
@jeansanchez2805
I wouldn't count 15th century France as "my" culture. Hell, one hundred years ago was a very different culture! 1923 was two Republics ago, we didn't have TV, much less the Internet, boys and girls went to different schools, our borders were different (thanks to, or rather because of, the colonies we had), we still had a draft, war was seen as a necessary evil to relieve international tensions every once in a while, linguistic prescriptivism was ten times worse than it is today, people were comparatively poor, women weren't allowed to vote... It's mind-boggling how fast cultures change, how can anyone consider cultures from several centuries ago to be their own? Unless those cultures are some of the few that change extremely slowly, which isn't the case in the West.
Fantastic as always. Farya you're a wonderful being
I am so blessed to discover such a beautiful musical tradition! The blessing has been bestowed on you to keep it in life as well!
Another masterpiece from our beloved historical musician from Québec. W human
Dude, I love your covers! You have the most resonate singing voice I've ever heard. Much love!
Géant. Magnifique
Salut ! Je viens de découvrir ta chaîne avec ta version de Tourdion et je suis en train de la dévorer ! C'est un travail superbe que tu accomplis ici
Beautiful singing, and fantastic music Farya!!!❤
De vieilles chansons et des mélodies enchanteresses sont un très beau commentaire, merci
Thanks for your music. It open our mind and ears to the past. It give the past a sound and a face. I wonder if you can take a look to the music during the Spanish Reconquista which was the Iberian Crusade.
This Is absolutely glorious! One of my favourite songs and You've made the best version as always Sir
MERCI 🙌🏻🇫🇷
this is by far the best version of this song!
C’est sublime, Que Dieu te garde
This is the old french right? Thank you Farya. At least I've come to hear how old french music is.
Yes! You finally did it!
I'm in love with your channel and music for many months now! There are still some songs I haven't seen you covering but you keep surprising me! I enjoyed your interpretation of this one so much! Thank you Farya, you're making my everyday routine so much better
Thank you Farya. Medieval French and Occitan melismatic singing have big similarity to Eastern Mediterranean style singing, including the instrument you used, since Western civilization was born from Eastern Mediterranean region and Mesopotamia. Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia are the ancient Western civilization. We have to honor our ancient creator civilizations and their people originating from those civilizations today, instead of creating superficial cultural segregation.
No bro, western civilization is born out of Christianity, The Roman Empire, and the Germanic kingdoms not those eastern civilizations
@@justinianthegreat1444 Thats just ignorant. It is fairly common knowledge that the success of the Roman civilization is owed to its great capability to adapt and assimilate from OTHER cultures. The Legions were inspired by Greek formations, Gallic, Germanic, North African and Parthian equipment, middle eastern leadership doctrines, Egyptian traditions of combined arms tactics, list continues. Roman architecture, philosophy, statesmanship and literature as well as elementary scientific knowledge was almost entirely adapted from Greece, who in turn took most from the Persians (who took it from the Mesopotamians, Babylonians etc.). Egyptian culture became so influential in the Roman empire the goddess Isis was integrated into the main Pantheon. Most of the aforementioned cultures adapted what they could from the truly ancient civilizations of the middle east.
Christianity on the other hand borrowed everything it deemed useful from older religions....and then condemned the rest. It didn't really contribute anything to civilization, on the contrary, it often did its best to eradicate all achievements of pagan cultures wherever it was spread.
Someone who named himself after Justinian, the final codifier of Roman law, would better be aware that the Christian church almost wiped out said Roman Law, with the exception of fracturs that were adopted as Canonical law and what found its way into the common law systems of the migrating tribes. If not for the recovery of Roman law though the first European universities, this would have been a critical loss to "western civilization", as all modern civil law systems are based on Roman law,
@@justinianthegreat1444 And your alphabet derived originally from where if not the Phoenicians, huh? You also have forgotten that Christianity IS part of the Oriental world, heavily influenced by Semitic belief system and tradition. People of Mediterranean are far different from their own Northern Europe counterpart, such as Frankish, Germans, Norse, Danish, English, etc.
@@justinianthegreat1444 the biggest irony with your statement is having an avatar of Justinian the Great while dismissing eastern civilizations lmao
@@al.5333 Christianity did NOT try to eradicate all pagan achievements, what are you on about? We believe that many of those pagans were building a bridge to Christ and leading towards Him. Christ is the fulfilment of everything. Read actual church history and the Church Father's before spilling out that typical basic modern ignorance
And with this magnificent interpretation I discover your channel
thank you for this song, I've always loved it and I sure love your take on it thank you🙏🏼
Vraiment trop fort, comme à chaque fois ! Quel talent ! 👌
Merci beaucoup!
👍👏 chanson du 12 ème siècle en vieux François .
Bravo a vous de faire revivre c'est beau 🙏🙏
Your video for Le Tourdion randomly appeared on my feed today. I really enjoyed it so I have listened to a few more of your songs. I am an American but I have always resonated with the Medieval Times in Europe and most of the time periods that you seem to cover in your music. I must have had a past life in the Medieval period because it has always struck a chord with me (haha) and your music transports me back, somehow. Thank you for these beautiful songs, I look forward to listening to more. You have a wonderful voice and an amazing talent.
très beau travail : bravo
I return to this song again and again. I feel like a zealot Christian soldier ready to fight and die for The Lord.
Εξαιρετική δουλειά. Μπράβο Φαρία, για ακόμη μια φορά, μπράβο!
Great talent! Bravo! All the best from Italy, waiting for Can vei la lauzeta mover ❤
that's a very nice background❤
Thank you for the text and the translation ;-) I was quite confused at first for not understanding much. Quite interesting and nice to listen to. Tahnk you.
Me ha encantado esta versión. ¡Viva Jesús! ¡Viva María!
É uma das minhas músicas medievais preferidas.
Sua versão ficou fantástica Farya! O vídeo ficou incrível também.
Muito obrigada :)
What a Beautiful song! This is one of my favorites crusaders songs thank you for making this video! 👍
I love this version. I have heard this song sung in the way you describe as being more modern. I probably have a couple of different versions in my music collection, but this surpasses anything I have heard.
What a great song!
Impressive singer!!! And so accurate.
Great performance! Thank you for this.
le plus drôle pour moi c'est presque de mieux comprendre les paroles traduites en anglais que le celles du vieux français haha
(très sympathique en tout cas!)
Farya with the new graphics haha, anyhow, sweet stuff!
EDIT: It does make me actually wonder if there ever were any musical responses from either the Muslims in Iberia or NA and Middle East to the crusades, much like this for the Catholics.
Yeah that’s a great point, I’ve tried doing some research but I guess being able to read Arabic or Turkish should wield more results. I’d love to cover Islamic responses if there were any, it would give a more complete picture
One of the best songs!
Oh to be a traveling troubadour in the 12th century
Love vibing to this and Le Tourdion
This is underrated! That's the best version of this song i have heard!
Merci pour cette reprise incroyable
How to approach this? We can hear this as a work of pure art today because the horrors of the wars it helped encourage are a thousand years ago. They were real back then. It's beautiful, certainly, and I appreciate that beauty, but it puts me on my guard, much like a well-crafted campaign ad. That's essentially what it is. I never want to see soldiers sung to battle again. I'd like to see a Wilfred Owen for every Jessie Pope.
Based Farya ❤ Parcham balast!
It's a langue d'oïl Old to Middle French. Is it Normano-French? Could be; it wouldn't differ much from other Northern French dialects and usages but the song would be more necessary for knights in service of the Anglo-Norman King of England and Duke of Normandy by 1145. That must've been Stephen/Éstienne de Blois. Pronunciation is legit. A little bit too Provençal/Occitan/Aquitanian, langue d'oc-ish, almost Catalan for my ear but completely intelligible and beautifully sung.
Magnifique, on l'attendait !
