Note: Lots of people are saying his name is Volodymyr, or at least not Vladimir. I know it's anachronistic in a way to call him Vladimir, but that's how he is known to us in the Anglosphere. Any article or book before 2022 called him as such, it's just the way it is. I mean no disrespect to anyone with the choice of names used in the subtitles. Anyway, here is a song I wrote in Old East Slavic, performed by me and my wife. This time, we are singing about St. Vladimir the Great, a member of the famous Rurikid dynasty of the Kievan Rus and the first Christian Grand Prince. He established a large domain spanning large swathes of modern Ukraine and Russia, from Kyev to the Baltic. Vladimir is a saint venerated in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. After sending envoys out to see the religions of the world, Vladimir decided to convert to Christianity. His envoys, having seen Constantinople, famously said: “We knew not whether we were in Heaven or on Earth ... We only know that God dwells there among the people, and their service is fairer than the ceremonies of other nations.” Doing so also allowed him to marry the beautiful Princess Anna of the Byzantine Empire. After his conversion, he had many churches built. He is also the leader credited with the Christianisation of the Rus. He admired and was influenced by the Byzantines greatly, which I have tried to convey in both the lyrics and music style. There isn’t much out there in Old East Slavic and I’ve always wanted to try writing and performing a whole song in it. I hope you get some enjoyment out of it. If you liked the song and would like to support the channel, please leave a comment and like the video. I love hearing your thoughts. You can also support me at www.buymeacoffee.com/theskaldicbard. Thanks! Lyrics in the description. My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.
Thanks bro, both you and your wife for making this piece of art. As both a Christian and History nerd, I truly appreciate the effort that goes into this.
Not sure if you are able, but seeing your crusaders song's, make's me wonder whether you could make a song about Crusade of Nicopolis in Old Romanian as there's none out there. Great work like always tho👏🏻👍🏻
It is not in Old East Slavic, it is in Church Slavic (it had local versions over countries), which was same as Latin for Catholics. There never existed such language as "Old East Slavic", it's a wrong, factually weak linguistic theory of Soviet times, but it had high popularity due to heavy Soviet propaganda, affecting western Slavists much too, although they never were educated enough in these areas anyway, western development of that knowledge was limited due to lack of access to Eastern Europe in 20-th century. You must read fundamental works of George Shevelyov, who is one of the most famous Slavists ever, to see that nations controlled by Rus'/Kyivan empire spoke different dialects, Slavic ones originated strictly from Proto-Slavic, and Finnic/Baltic were of own roots, and there was no singular folk tongue beyond Church language, used in official communication. For instance, actual national dialects were those that afterwords formed: 1) currently so called "Belarusian" (actually Kryvian, by tribal name; "Belarus" is an artificial 18-th century empirial political term, Kryvichy didn't have much relevance to Rus. 2) current Ukranian (actual Ruthenian/Rus language, respectively to historical geography). Later, basically mix of juridical Kryvian and Ruthenian became official language of GDL. 3) currently dead Novgorodian - tongue of colonists who established Novgorod in 10-th century in Finnic lands. Linguistically connected to Lechitic group and Ruthenian (i.e. Kyivan tongue). 4) tongue of colonists of northern Tver-Suzdal region, confusingly known as "Russian" in modern era due to obvious causes of political history.
Ok this is an amazing song, already my favourite one from yours. It drips with so much atmosphere it's insane. And I love the pronunciation. I myself just use modern Russian or Ukrainian pronunciation to sing Old East Slavic, so to hear it pronounced with all those nasal sounds and authentic phonetic aspects here is a real gift. I'm no linguist but I'm gifted enough with an ear for accents that if someone were to tell me you're a native Slavic speaker, I wouldn't question it. I also love the very subtly "Eastern" feel to this one. It genuinely feels like Byzantine music's influence is emanating here, with the melody centred around that Aeolian/Phrygian semitone, and the vocal melismas like on the last syllable of "pobede" at 1:11. Whether intentional or not, it perfectly encapsulates the intrinsic relationship between the East Slavs and the Eastern Roman Empire at that stage in history.
Hey man, thanks a lot for this - great to see you pick up on some of the subtle aspects thrown in there. I was absolutely going for the slight Byzantine influence, but there's no way I could pinpoint the specifics of it nearly as well as you can, haha - I appreciate you putting a name to the concepts, will make for some interesting research. Glad you enjoyed the song!
Except that it shouldn't have nasal vowels, as they fell out of use in both Old East Slavic, which this song is supposed to be in, and Church Slavonic, which it actually seems to be
Really loved the way old slavic sounded here. It's the best old slavic song on RUclips because others try to just sound more russian while in fact old slavic was it's own thing unlike any modern slavic language.
I would just like to add that the language of this song's liryc is in Old East Slavic, meanwhile Polish stems from Old West Slavic, so the difference is grater than, let's say, between Old East Slavic and Russian.
Really, really good, perfectly captures the Slavo-Byzantine culture of the Rus at the time. I love the lyrics as well. My favourite part are the Byzantine-like melismas at the end of some of the lines. It's impressive how each of your song really radiates with the essence of the culture it's related to, respect.
From the lands of the Rus i come to tell. This is amazing, there is so little songs from the times of Rus that we know about, this is filling out the void, thank you Skald
It's a bit sad that this great Prince is quite forgotten in Western Christianity. I think that for many people Vladimir belongs more to East than West. However, to tell the truth he is connection beetween West and East, and Your song reflects his life in impressive way😊
I love how powerful this song sounds. It also definitely has a Byzantine feel to it as Farya pointed out, so that might be why the song has so much power to its vibes.
Excellent work by both your wife and yourself! Interesting that you decided to venture east, this time! The Slavic side of things is very underappreciated and not studied as much. Great earworm that I predicted will be stuck in my head for a while!

Yet another wonderful song. I’m studying history in college and a practicing Catholic, so getting to enjoy music that appeals often to both is fun. Maybe do a song about the Anglo-Saxon martyr and king of East Anglia, Edmund the Martyr. There isn’t much out there source wise, but I suppose that gives you room for a bit of artistic license. The two most accepted accounts of his death either having him dying in battle against the Great Heathen army or being martyred afterwards by arrows.

Russian speaker here. Honestly, you sing this so well, that it sounds like genuine OCS chant. You deserve far more, than you got, my man, truly you are man of art
Thank you so much for this, my friend
May the land of the Rus live forever
Великий Русский князь!
Я знаю твой язык.
Великий князь Владимир!
Поздравляю от Славянскии брате Македонцки.
Слава Русски!
Володимир 😊
This sounds amazing. It would be cool to hear you do a rendition of Bogurodzica/Baharodzica, the famous hymn that Polish and Lithuanian soldiers chanted before the Battle of Grunwald.
Working on something for that :)
You should see Farya faraji's version if you haven't in the meantime 😃
Oh I have. I am a big, big fan of Farya Faraji and his works. And I, in response, can recommend you see Stary Olsa's version of Baharodzica. It is a fantastic rendition. @@Jeremiah-h4u
May God keep Vladimir in heaven for his faith, слава Богу ☦️
Crazy how conservative serbian is, speaking Serbian natively and knowing a good ammount of Russian, the lyrics here resemble Serbian noticeably more. The song itself goes crazy hard!
Отличный канал, шикарные песни. Хотелось бы еще больше песен на старославянском, звучит очень по-родному )
так, дуже по-рідному, розумієшь на скільки укр. мова давня.
@@viacheslavmykhailiuk6039Давай не будзем сварыцца, у мяне ёсць у сябрах і ўкраінцы, і нармальныя рускія, а старажытнаруская мова, гэта наш агульны продак, прывітанне табе з Брэста

@@Kieran_Keegan Единственный разумный человек здесь.
@@viacheslavmykhailiuk6039украинский больше на польский похож, чем на древнерусский. Что не удивительно учитывая историю южнорусских земель
Потрясающе. Я только к концу ролика начал улавливать нюансы акцента, которые выдают иностранца. Очень хорошо
Hey Skald, another great song. Would love to see a song about either Crecy, or Agincourt.
Thank you for the great song Bard. Hope there will be more slavic songs.
I am honored to be named after this Great Prince.
This is fire 💪🏻😎✌🏻
@SkaldBard.
Since you are into history have you ever heard of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily. Our history is a powerful one.
700 Years of independence only abruptly ending in 1861.
1130-1861
Wonderful, just wonderful.
Thank you! Greetings from Russia
Здравствуйте!
GOD EXISTS ... and so does a moral man.
Ооо, русские песни подъехали. Thank you VERY much, Bard! God bless!
Давньоруські, якщо точніше
это песня на староукраинском с примесью болгаризмов, точнее - примесь старомакедонского :)
@@ihorko3161Согласен. Так будет правильно назвать песни тех кто жили на территории Древней Руси (включая украинцев, русских и беларусов).
@@AlfredoDutti староукраинский это разве не язык грамот 14-15 века и позже "руськой метрики"? В описании написано Old East Slavic -- значит древневосточнославянский наверно. Гипотеза Шевельова про отдельное формирование восточно-славянских языков из праславянского имеет место, но она вроде не мейнстримная.
@@AlfredoDuttiкак тут и сказали, это не староукраинский, староукраинский это язык 15-16 века где-то. Это тогда уж древнеукраинский. Просто страна же Русью называлась, потому и говорят всегда именно древнерусский. Но, конечно, эта песня настолько же украинская, насколько и русская, и белорусская. Почему все всегда забывают белорусов?
As a person who is ethnically Crnagorski or Montenegrin, have you ever tried Serbian as a language? I know it must be hard doing this and I should probably give you some specific ideas but this is your channel. You did a good job anyway. It is honestly hard to find information of medieval Serbia or Balkans or at least it is not as easy as western medieval research.
God Bless
Amazing work!
Great song just wondering if you could see about writing a song about the battle of clontarf if you get a chance i would appreciate it since one of my ancestors the king of leinster mael morda died there also your wifes also a great singer
❤❤❤
Ждём больше песен как на Древнерусском, так и на старославянском и других языках, использовавшихся в устной и письменной речи на Руси
russians(muscovites) have nothing to do with Kievan state(Gardarike). Russia is a country renamed in 1721 from Grande Tartaria, after germans from Prussia took over the country.
Я полностью согласен, но это древневосточный славянский, язык на котором говорили в восточных русских княжествах
@@Andrei-lq2xu east slavic - восточно-славянский, он же древнерусский или old russian. У него было много различных говоров, которые могли развиться в полноценные языки, но ныне история привела нас к русскому, украинскому, беларусскому и русинскому языкам :)
🎉🎉
Right on time, just got a Russian icon of Vladimir
Russian? 😂
russian 😂
@@vladbojkiv3895shut up hohol
Хорошо.
Man, you're the best! Greetings from Ukraine
Thank you, my friend! All the best to you!
My man you so talented @SkaldBard
@SkaldBard I hope You make Celtic songs
Круто получилось
he is a great and holy prince, but as we know he was a rather specific person.
Great song, a magnificent performance! Oh, eternal glory to Volodimir the Great! Warm greetings from Ukraine :)
Рюриковичи - великий род Руси, прослеживается в летописях и сказанинях других народов
Great song my friend. Maybe you can make one in Old Baltic (or Old Lithuanian or Old Latvian)
small correction. In addition to Russia and Little Russia, the Old Russian state and Kievan Rus included the lands of present-day Belarus (Minsk, Pinsk, Brest, etc.) and part of the lands of eastern Poland
Я из России❤❤❤ 🇷🇺 приветствую всех славян❤

Здравия брат❤
Keep up the great work!
Could you add a way of supporting you where one can pay with paypal?
Thanks a lot, my friend. Making a Patreon soon which takes PayPal. Thanks for the support, buddy
Великий князь!
It's complicated
What about making songs about Prophetic Oleg or Rurik?
It would be great to have something for the Balkans.
This is amazing!
Would you be willing to do a song in Gothic about St. John of Gothia?
