Music by Farya Faraji, based on melodic folk motifs from Greece, including recordings of Ancient Greek musical instruments. I was inspired to write an immersive piece of music as close as possible to historical practices of Ancient Greece-please keep in mind that this isn’t meant to be entirely historically accurate music from Ancient Greece, although it’s closer to realistic compared to some of my more creative pieces. The instruments are all from the soundscape of Ancient Greece: the aulos, the lyre, and a mantoura-the latter is a simple reed instrument from Crete, and such instruments are attested in Ancient Greece. I based this on motifs found across Crete, the Cyclades and Thrace, since they are the modern day regions that still use such reed instruments like in Ancient Greece, and therefore their sound is our best bet, in my opinion, at reverse-engineering the most probable usage of these instruments throughout the Greek world, given that they were ubiquitous throughout Greece back then. The melody is possible given what we know of the historical practice, with the usage of the minor modes, although it’s not certain how folk melodies for dances were built, and whether they were ornamented in such a way especially before the Roman era, were ornamentation becomes more increasingly used. Most of the creative aspect on my part lies in two aspects: the strumming of the lyre to provide a constant drone constituted of the tonic and it’s lower perfect fourth-strumming was a major part of lyre playing in Greece, however it seemed to have been melodic strumming. The sort of drone strumming I added to support the melody is entirely speculative, however it is based on common practice of heterophonic traditions of today, like in modern Greek traditional music, where an instrument will strum the tonic repeatedly as a steady drone. While this practice isn’t directly attested in Ancient Greek music, I consider it compatible with the heterophonic nature of this tradition, whose monophonic aspect is often exagerated. A far more creative and less plausible aspect however is the usage of harmony-I switched the drone to the subtonic in moments of cadence, and also added a lower perfect fourth to the main drone. While far more creative in this aspect, the research of some specialists like Stefen Hagel suggests a far more prevalent use of harmony than usually believed. If harmony were to exist within the largely heterophonic and melodic framework of Ancient Greek music, I believe it would have come in the form the absolute simplest forms such as those found in the Cyclades or Thrace on which I based the harmonic aspects of this piece, where the lower perfect fourth sounded in unison with the tonic as well as cadence-ornamenting subtonic use is prevalent. Once again, the harmony I’ve included as well as the drone-strumming are not meant to indicate my belief of their presence in Ancient Greek music, but are rather my way of showing that there would have been different compositional techniques accompanying the melody beyond the pure monophony that we are often told Ancient Greek music functionned with-strumming of the tonic to produce a drone and very simple harmony may have well constituted the palette of this tradition, which I tried conveying here.
I absolutely adore your commitment to history. I’ve always wanted to understand how things were, felt, sounded, looked like, etc., and even though it isn’t truly accurate, I respect and appreciate the amount of effort you put in to make these masterpieces. Another banger!
I am surprised by the name, since this is considered as typical Cretan music and not associated with the Peloponnese at all, at least today. Your interpretation and composition is awesome. Amazing!
The instruments you hear in this composition were once used all across Greece 2500 years ago. I used Cretan, Cycladic and Thracian traditions that still use these instruments to get some idea of how Ancient Greeks across the Greek world would have used them. It seemed wiser to me to simulate Peleponesian use of reed instruments like the mantouras by using extant tradition rather than using only my creativity. I think we associate the use of these reed instruments with specific regions of Greece like Thrace and Crete today, but they were universal throughout Ancient Greece back then, and we know Spartans used them too :)
Totally agree that the two regions don't share a whole lot musically today but don't forget that the Dorians migrated to the Peloponnese and Crete during the Mycenaean period. Sparta and Crete shared the Doric dialect and you can look up Lato, close to Agios Nikolaos, as an example of one of their colonies on Crete.
@@eho6380 I used recordings from Ancient Greek reconstructionists. My guess is you find this too different from the recordings of Ancient Greek music available on RUclips right now. Most performances on RUclips are of “higher class” musicians like Mesomedes, often very slow, and use principally the lyre and little percussive drives. Little effort yet has been in done in trying to approximate what a folk dance would have sounded like, which is what I’m doing: providing an approximation of a type of Ancient Greek performance that there are very little if no recordings of at all. In other words, it would be like only having heard a specific type of American music, say Black Gospel, and then rejecting other forms of American music like country as being “quite off from American music”. Comparing the Delphic hymns or Mesomedes’ pieces, which is what all reconstructions on RUclips are, to an approximation of a folk dance, and especially believing them to be representative of the entirety of Ancient Greek music misses the mark in that regard. I’d invite you to read my pinned comment to get an idea of the research and historical practices involved in this.
Probably not a valid point from me but they were both ethnically Dorian, in ancient times the legendary Lycurgus supposedly borrowed pieces of the culture from Crete among others. Again, pseudo hypothesis from someone who’d love to accept this as Laconic.
This sounds historically real. Ancient Greece was colorful, full of rich painted temples, gorgeous clothing, intricate patterns, wild and beautiful and powerful and human.

Los Helenos fueron un pueblo que nos dejó un gran legado, admirables por su naturaleza curiosa que los llevó a buscar de todo, teniendo desde pueblos guerreros y en extremo apegados a las leyes y el honor como los Laecedemonios/Espartanos, pueblos navegantes y conquistadores como los Foceos, hasta estados gobernados bajo filósofos como Tarento alguna vez y hasta Atenas bajo Pericles y Cremonides, grandes conquistadores como Dionisio I de Siracusa con sus ingenios para conquistar como el Gastrafetes (La primera ballesta en occidente), Alejandro Magno con la falange de su padre con la que conquistó el mundo, Pirro de Epiro con su valor y respeto a sus enemigos y no solo eso, sino también su ingenio, etcétera, nos dejó hasta a Hipócrates de Cos, el padre de la medicina, Tales de Mileto, el que es tenido por Aristóteles por el primer Filósofo siendo seguido por otros Jonios y después otros Helenos, aportes en las matemáticas bajo Pitágoras que influenciaron bastante a Platón en sus escritos y posteriormente al resto del mundo, también los Helenos nos dejaron hasta el primer Historiador que fue Heródoto, fueron tales sus formas que influenciaron en gran medida tanto a Cartagineses como Romanos, lo que serían los grandes poderes del Mediterráneo junto a en un principio Etruscos y la mayor parte de pueblos Itálicos e incluso en gran medida Ibéricos en la costa, los Helenos fueron grandes exploradores con hombres como Escilax y otros más que llegaron hasta Britania, simplemente maravillosos los Helenos.

Pretty cool music. I look forward to listening to it when I drive to and from work like with your other songs. Really cool and very appreciated that you play a part in keeping these cultures alive in your own special way.
The amount of Hellenic heritage gets downplayed a lot in that region. The influence of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the very Greek Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire on Lebanon and Palestine was insanely strong. Not only did the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic populations call themselves "Roman" (as the Greeks did until the independence movement which was largely supported by philhellenic westerners who tended to have a very low opinion of the ERE) and were considered Greeks by western ethnographers into the 1800s, but a blood protein marker associated with Ancient Macedonians has quite common among Levantine Christians
Farya will get there someday and one day we will all say "THAT GUY STARTED OUT WRITING EPIC MUSIC FOR PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET AND NOW HE'S REACH THE TOP, THAT'S MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN AND I AM PROUD OF FARYA FARAJI"
@@justinianthegreat1444 Think of all the historical and fantasy video games out there: Assassin's Creed, God of War, Civilization, The Witcher, The Elder Scrolls, etc. Imagine the untapped potential of having FF's music as a badass soundtrack
Farya, if you ever are so inclined to do so, I highly encourage any composition from you of the music from Magna Graecia, the land of my ancestors. I would love to hear either a reconstruction or hear your interpretation of the music of those Hellenized Near Eastern peoples that settled in Southern Italy. (Especially Calabria where my family comes from). We use an ancient drum known in the various dialects as a “tamburreddhu” or tamburello in Italian, that came from North Africa and/or Near East. It hasn’t changed form in millennia and it’s still integral to the music there today.

This makes me want to lead my band of three hundred Spartans against a ten thousand strong Persian force...This is beyond epic. I'm a huge fan of Ancient Greece and this is the closest we can get to experiencing what it was like. Thank you!
@@DivineHellas at most it was tens of thousands, i think it was between 40 - 75 thousand Persians, not literal hundreds of thousands. And the Greek force that was assembled for Thermopylae was around 7,000 troops, so yeah the whole 300 spartans story is a myth. Let me explain, there was 300 spartans and Leonidas, yes, but there was around 6,700 other Greeks there with them. Sparta was just propaganda in the shape of a country.
@@DemonicAthen Only 300 Spartans and ~1400 other Greeks fought in the battle of Thermopylae. Yes, there were initially ~7,000 Greeks but most were dismissed to fight other battles in Salamis, Mycale, and Plataea.
As someone from the Balkans that knows a lot about our folk dances, I must say that you have hit the jackpot with this one. You could literally put this song over the Bulgarian “Trite puti” folk dance and you wouldn’t even notice that it’s not the original folklor song. This is definitely music that our Balkan ancestors would’ve danced to :)
Farya Youre a living legend, i am glad to be around in the same timeline as you my brother. Much love from AUS im a Greek man with huge love for the ancient music our ancestors shared centurines ago!
Accurate and harmonious as always well done. I also like that you put this type of bagpipe in the concept, many people don't know this but ancient Greece had it's own type of bagpipe with only one flute attached to it

Merveilleux !!!! On sent l'odeur du thym, de la viande grillée, de l'huile d'olive et du vin acre, et on entend les pas en en rythme et les lances cogner les boucliers ! Excellent travail de reconstitution, très fidèle, des instruments d'époque et des airs d'espaces géographiques identitiques ou proches, et y'a pas mieux !
Absolutely love it. I feel myself dancing through the streets of Athens with a jug of wine while we sing praise to Olympus during a festival of some kind.
This music is so good! I played it on loop for around 3 hours when i was traveling on plane! It helped me sleep through the majority of the flight despite the constant vibration caused by the engines. Bloody magical work!
I must say this is a very inspired folk piece! It makes me feel kind of like a villager dancing with my neighbours around the fire at night hearing this song play as everyone contributes a sound.
As the Spartans were so often described as as "the most musical and most warlike of peoples", I'm sure the ancient citizens of the Peloponnese would find this an absolute jam.
The chanel , the Music, it's just fascinating and amazing. I absolutely enjoy to listen to your music. May this chanel unite all of the History lovers from each parts of the world 🖤🖤
Farya is literally keeping ancient culture alive, especially in Persian and Greek cultures both of which have been suppressed and Islamized, I’m Syrian and will fight to keep this culture alive ♥️

Beautiful, love from A Greek🇨🇾💙
Merveilleux !!!! On sent l'odeur du thym, de la viande grillée, de l'huile d'olive et du vin acre, et on entend les pas en en rythme et les lances cogner les boucliers ! Excellent travail de reconstitution, très fidèle, des instruments d'époque et des airs d'espaces géographiques identitiques ou proches, et y'a pas mieux !
Bro...... THIS IS AN ABSALOUTE BANGA

A guy on the left is throwing it back like nobody elses business, DAYM
Wow again such an impressive song
This is a total banger 🔥. Listening on repeat.
Wow! Masterpiece. I'm ashamed I haven't seen this before keep up Farya!
Absolutely love it. I feel myself dancing through the streets of Athens with a jug of wine while we sing praise to Olympus during a festival of some kind.
Check God Dionysus for that festival of yours 😂
@@tho1468 I am familiar with Dionysus lol. I am creating a statue of him for an art project actually.
Reject paganism, embrace Orthodoxy! 😄☦️
@@mihajlocolic01 reject modernity, embrace tradition. Embrace the elder gods who spawned you.
@@herpderp728 Yeah the Gods lmao what is wrong with you
Farya, brother you are miracle! God bless you
This music is so good!
I played it on loop for around 3 hours when i was traveling on plane! It helped me sleep through the majority of the flight despite the constant vibration caused by the engines.
Bloody magical work!
THANK YOU!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
amazing
That first part sounds like a Scottish jig. Love it.
El primer video que encuentro que en realidad me transporta a la antigua Grecia , gracias por el video
I applaud and salute your work. You bring my past closer to me.
Thanks alot Joseph!
Very nice my friend
I must say this is a very inspired folk piece! It makes me feel kind of like a villager dancing with my neighbours around the fire at night hearing this song play as everyone contributes a sound.
Beautiful composition, thank you for making this🙂
0:27 what instrument is that makes that sort of electric sound, the Aulos?
It's the aulos yep
Never fails to impress!
As the Spartans were so often described as as "the most musical and most warlike of peoples", I'm sure the ancient citizens of the Peloponnese would find this an absolute jam.
Day by day you're making progress developed....
The chanel , the Music, it's just fascinating and amazing. I absolutely enjoy to listen to your music. May this chanel unite all of the History lovers from each parts of the world 🖤🖤
Κάλλιστα ἐποίησας, ὦ φίλε!
Wow you're here
Please put this on Spotify.
Magnificent!!!, I like it so much, very well done 👌👌
2:19 that beat drops harder than the Athenian walls in 403 BC.
Lmao
I've never heard such instruments extremely unfamiliar but still amusing there should be more music of such instruments.
here from the thermopylae video. Absolute banger
This is a banger,it is too good
This had absolutely no right going as hard as it did
Another piece of art from the master himself.
THIS IS A JAM!!! Thank you for creating this masterpiece
Farya is literally keeping ancient culture alive, especially in Persian and Greek cultures both of which have been suppressed and Islamized, I’m Syrian and will fight to keep this culture alive ♥️
greeks were never islamized, more like christianized if anything
@@badpasters Turkey was.
