Narses the Armenian - Epic Byzantine Music
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Music arranged by Farya Faraji, vocals by Farya Faraji. Please keep in mind that this isn't reconstructed Byzantine music, only modern music with a thematic idea of the Byzantine empire. Narses, along with Belisarius, was one of the great generals of Justinian and Theodora's era, fighting for the reconquest of the Italian peninsula along with many other battles. An Armenian, he was born in a region known as Persarmenia, then under the control of the Sasanian Empire, and he himself was from the Kamsarakan family, linked genealogically to the House of Karen, one of the seven great noble houses of the Parthians. Agathias Scholasticus says of him "He was a man of sound mind, and clever at adapting himself to the times. He was not versed in literature nor practiced in oratory, but made up for it by the fertility of his wits," and as "small and of a lean habit, but stronger and more high-spirited than would have been believed." Narses entered the court of Justinian and rose through the ranks. At one point, Justinian changed a law which barred eunuchs from accessing the high position of patrician, just so that Narses, himself a eunuch, could become a patrician. From there, Narses would serve Justinian as one of his greatest generals amassing many victories, the most important ones being in Italy. After the reconquest, he would oversee renovation projects in Italy as well as the city of Rome, and importantly, he was the last general of Roman history to ever receive an official triumph within the city of Rome itself. A strongly religious man, he held a specific devotion to the Virgin Mary, and supposedly never went into battle without her consent.
This is a composition I based around folk melodic motifs from the region of the Armenian highlands in eastern Anatolia played on the duduk, an Armenian instrument commonly found in Armenian, Kurdish and Turkish music of the region. I wanted to capture the essence of Armenian music from the Armenian highlands, and therefore used the duduk, an instrument that I generally can't stand in most soundtracks and "epic style music." The duduk represents for me the apex of the West's disinterest with understanding the music of the East: any time a film in the West is set in the Middle-East or in some ancient era like Rome or Greece, it'll automatically use the duduk, because after the film Gladiator, the duduk has cemented itself into Western minds as "that ancient/eastern" sounding instrument. There's loads of videos with millions of views on RUclips called "ancient Egyptian music," that use the duduk, an Armenian instrument from the Caucasus and Eastern Anatolia, because as far as pop-culture is concerned, it's such some vague Eastern sounding instrument and all Eastern music is the same anyway--it would be like having Italian mandolins in a song about Vikings because "whatever they're both in Europe it's all the same music anyway." Supposedly Arabic themed music set in Morocco will use the duduk if the music is written by Westerners.
Soundtracks about ancient Rome also have an automatic fixation on the duduk, and Rome 2 Total War's soundtrack for example utilises this Armenian instrument unrelated to Rome to represent the concept of the Roman Empire, because that strong association has cemented itself ever since Hans Zimmer's use of the instrument in his soundtrack (one of my favourite soundtracks by the way, I'm not criticising his use, only the secondary effect it generated in pop culture). I want to stress that my use of the instrument here is a calculated one, and though you've probably heard it in hundreds of other epic music pieces with a historical theme, those tend to randomly use it in inappropriate contexts such as Iranian, Arabic or Indian-themed pieces, or even Roman, based on that general lack of knowledge of Eastern and ancient music and this general attitude of "whatever it sounds vaguely Eastern and ancient, good enough for me." If you're reading this, please keep in mind that the duduk is more than some vague instrument that can be applied randomly in every ancient and eastern context: it's a specific instrument with Armenian roots, with a specific use geographically in Eastern Anatolia, the Southern Caucasus and parts of Northern Iran, deeply linked to Armenian music with presence in other neigbouring cultures of the area also. I added a saz, a Greek lauto, davul drums and an oud to the instrumentation, with all these instruments being found both in Greek and Armenian music except for the lauto, only found in Greece. The lyrics are a prayer to the Virgin Mary, since I wanted to reflect his strong devotion to her, with the form of Armenian found here being an archaic one. The pronunciation is the Iranian dialect.
English translation of the lyrics:
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

ERRATUM: For some reason I pronounced the “h” in “orhneal” as a voiceless velar fricative instead of a voiceless glottal fricative, my bad.
Music arranged by Farya Faraji, vocals by Farya Faraji. Please keep in mind that this isn't reconstructed Byzantine music, only modern music with a thematic idea of the Byzantine empire. Please note this isn't reconstructed historical music, it's modern folk music. The Epic Byzantine Music series is a musical project where I explore various sounds from the ethnomusicological ecosystem of modern traditional music, using sounds from modern folk traditions as they are today as a framing device for themes pertaining to the history of the Eastern Roman Empire. Narses, along with Belisarius, was one of the great generals of Justinian and Theodora's era, fighting for the reconquest of the Italian peninsula along with many other battles.

Very much appreciate. No only your work but also the explanation and informations you provide.
On a side note🤣 how much time did it take you to write all this,
And another favourite… keep it going, and you can compete with Hans Zimmer very soon. I love you work ❤️☦️
İ am Turk but i don't refuse good Armenian commanders like Narses,John the Armenian
А, це ж "Радуйся Маріє!" на вірменській мові.
No matter bro, as a Turk I know that your songs aren’t reconstructed cultural music, they are thematic ideas how it would sound if you imagine the Byzantine period on an epic way. It’s another masterpiece I can hear the synthesis of Byzantine and Armenian culture.

Hell yeah ✨ i see byzantine i click as fast as light
I am simple too i see comment like this i click like

With every Byzantine/Roman piece its getting better and better, would love to see a Byzantine one connected to Bulgarian history like The Gates of Trajan you did before.
I hope you will make more songs about armenians . This is perfect 👍❤️

I wonder if you could get a byzantine / berber music, which might help to picture the Exarchate of Carthage, as well as the Mauro-Byzantine wars of the sixth century, as depicted in Corripsu's Iohannis, singing the praises of John Troglita against Antalas, Hierbas of the Laguatan, and many others.
Maybe a song about Kahina

Narses: Hammer of the Goths. A man who cared for the troops under his command as if they were blood.
So...... I take it Belisarius is next? You can't have a song about the Emperor's hammer without one about the Emperor's sword.
@@aseris8024personally I like this song more and also I personally find the Person of narses to be much more emotionally compelling.
we need a belisarius one:)
Definitely on my to do list!
Belisarius stilicho and aetius needs to
@@joaopedroghigiareli3161 attila,boudica,arminius..like this
Belisarius was an absolute based chad. He is obviously one of the top 10 greatest generals of all time.
@@Tzimiskes3506 And one of the most unrecognized. I can't think of a western general who was so skilled and yet so underrepresented in modern media.
As an Armenian who have been listening to your music for the whole year, I am stunned by what you’ve just done.

He is a prove that you doesnt need balls to be a good general😂
Narses - proof you didn't need balls to have balls
🤣
@@TenTenJ A ballless Armenian has more balls than any Azeri or Turk. They can try to wipe out the Greek and Armenian people from existence however hard they want, these will always be Greek and Armenian lands at heart.
Huh?@@TenTenJ
@@sizack4809He was a eunuch, hence, no balls, but he has virtual iron balls though.
@@twentius777 ouch
Narses : look Belisarius,i have my music now and...italy
Belisarius : damn you Narses.
Belisasius also hame music
Most underaated general in roman history, its a shame that his status as a eunuch and his political rivalry with Belisarius gives him a bad rep
Dude literally reconquered Italy in his 80s iirc
I might be wrong but he was last triumphant in Rome

To all fellas who want to sing along
We need a one on *_Rostam Farrokhzad Ispahbudhan,_* *_Shahin Vahmanzadegan,_* *_Shahrvaraz Mihran_* and *_Firuzan_* or *_Piruzan_* four of the last great generals (Spahbodh) of Sassanid empire (Êranshâhr) 😊
would love to listen to a song about me and Khosrow but of course I go first because I'm not one the reason why the Roman Empire and Sassanian Empire got defeated by the Arabs so Khosrow goes last
@@justinianthegreat1444 hmm yep but it also the fault of emperor Phocas who started this mess by killing emperor Maurice who was the childhood friend of Khosrow II Parvez.
@Shahin Vahmanzadegan
Well khosrow took yemen and southern saudiarabia from the axumites (after their empire was nearly lost to the justinian plague), if he didnt do that they would've recovered and took overthe rest of arabia before the arabs could come up with anything (the axumites almost destroyed mecca btw), they were the ones who came up with the idea of uniting the arabs (way before the prophet was born)and they almost succeeded , imagine how much history would've changed, so khosrow takes the full blame in my opinion, shouldve stuck to his own lane.
@@AMR_k400 Aksumite took over of whole of Arabia was highly unlikely they were not that big of a superpower and it was Khosrow Anushirwan who took over the Yemen not his grandson Khosrow Parvez.
I wanted to sing along to this, but can't read the Armenian alphabet. Thankfully, I found the lyrics on some site and then put them in Google tl so I could get the Latinization. These were the results:

Da Italiano sono fiero che Narsete, insieme a Belisario, ci liberò da Goti.
"liberazione". per quanto io adori i romani, la riconquista romana dell'Italia è stato l'inizio della decadenza italiana. i goti erano dei grandi, sapevano governare e potevano rendere l'italia uno stato unito già 1300 anni prima dell'unificazione... poi sono arrivati i romani d'oriente e più tardi quei scrausi dei longobardi

How can such a great nation as the Armenians lose to a nation that was formed later than Coca Cola?
Azerbaijan was not formed later than Coca Cola. That’s a stupid myth. They’re also an ancient nation with a great history. We have to respect our neighbors.
@@DontNeedToKnow84 I mean every population is ancient.
Cry about it.
Armenia has been without a state for a long time, many Armenians do not live in Armenia. Such losses happen when several countries help your enemy, especially those related by language family. The Armenians do not have such close peoples. The state of Azerbaijan is really young, and their name is the toponym of the region of Iran. Another thing is that the people formed as early as possible, in Russia they were called Caucasian Tatars. They were fire worshipers.

Loved how you transitioned from Eastern to Western Armenia and back. Really thoughtful of you, so thank you! Nice style, nicely done overall. Very impressive! Let me ask you, Farya, how does an Iranian perceive Armenian language -- like you show here -- does it cause any problems phonetically? I'm just curious. Thanks!
late reply, but just an answer from an Iranian: the phonetics are quite simple for a Persian speaker
As an Armenian I have to say this music is epic

Modern day generals are so boring, they just do what the government tells them to, back in the good old days, a general could just ignore an order because Virgin Mary disagrees with it and noone would find it strange and just go along with it. It did actually happen a few times with Narses (well, that at least according to the Most Reliable Historian Ever(TM))
Anyway, it's a fine addition to the Byzantine music collection, among the best so far. Keep making bangers like this and the 100k sub mark will be passed in no time.
Thanks my man, always good to read your support!

Narses is example of gigachad without body of gigachad
Man this rocks. Somehow manages to be both really meditative and really evocative of vast landscapes and cavalries. Thanks also for always putting so much detail into your pinned posts. I always come away from these vids feeling like I learned something new
Dear friend Farya, you never cease to amaze. One more gem. Definitely need a Belisarius now. Thank you.
При всем уважении автор не прав. Нерсес армянин, а не парфянин.
Нерсес родился в 478 году в Армении, которая тогда входила в состав Сасанидской Персии. О ранних годах его жизни практически ничего не известно. Первые упоминания о Нерсесе как влиятельном деятеле оставил византийский писатель Прокопий. Согласно его записям, после поражения Велизария при Калинике, Нерсес был отправлен императором на переговоры с армянской знатью, воевавшей на стороне персов. Юстиниан рассчитывал на то, что будучи армянином, Нерсес сможет уговорить своих соотечественников перейти на сторону византийцев, что он и сделал, лишив персов мощного армянского корпуса.
В 531 году Нерсес занял пост главного казначея Византии и имел огромное влияние. Через год произошло крупнейшее восстание в истории Византии. Восставшие потребовали отречения Юстиниана от престола и начали бунт. Нерсес внёс огромный вклад в подавление бунта: именно он, рискуя жизнью, безоружный, в окружении нескольких слуг, пробрался в ложу сенаторов и сумел подкупить и завербовать на сторону императора большинство влиятельных политиков. В благодарность за верную службу Юстиниан назначил Нерсеса первым советником императора.
В возрасте 74 лет Нерсес возглавил войска Византии в Готской войне, которая окончилась блистательной победой византийцев. Император Юстиниан был уверен в преданности своего главного казначея и в том, что Нерсес не станет пытаться свергнуть его, поэтому сначала поручил ему навести порядок в Италии, после чего доверил управлять ею более десяти лет, до прихода Юстиана II.
Нерсес стал первым широко известным византийцем армянского происхождения и умер в своем имении в возрасте 95 лет, что значительно превышало среднюю продолжительность жизни в те времена.
Its very cool. Thank you and greetings from Armenians!
Much love to the Armenians :)

Gotta say, I`ve never been to Armenia, but I would love to. They where always in-between massive powers, and always had to play games to survive. What I appreciate the most, is that whenever you look at the map even from antiquity, Armenia was on the map under the same name. Most of the regions changed their name throughout history, Armenia was always there.
I`ve grown to have a lot of respect for that.
A romanian is sending you guys all the good thoughts in the world !
Love from an Armenian to our Romanian brothers. Thank you very much means a lot!! Romania also has a rich history wich has been trough alot and also a beautifull culture. 🇦🇲☦🇷🇴

@@TrajGreekFire Amazing idea!
@@gorgarslan as I also heard Bagrationi were the dynasty with Armenian roots (Bagratuni) but the difference between Georgians and Armenians has been in languages (Cartvelian and Indo-European), religion (Orthodox Christianity and Monophisite Christianity) plus material culture (Georgians are closer to people of the North Caucasus like Ingush, e.g. in highland towers or woolen clothes, and Armenians are closer to people of Middle East like Kurds).
@@Γνώστηςτωνγατών True that, we also have been ruled by armenized and georgianized Persian elites for quite some time
@@ΓνώστηςτωνγατώνGeorgia was influenced more by the other Caucasian ethnicities whereas Armenia retained significant cultural contact with Iran up to the modern day. The first Armenian ruling dynasty, the Arsacids, were a branch of the Parthian Arsacids, and before Christianization Armenia was a Zoroastrian nation.

Hello Farya, it has nothing to do with this specific video but after watching your videos about musicology, I had a question : is there slavic music according to musical provinces theory? I think that Balkanic music is not that typically slavic right ? But what about Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Bohemian or Slovakian folk musics? Moreover, what are local and external influences in Polish 17th century Baroque music ? As vestimentary culture, did the north of the Ottoman empire or Hungary have any influence on musical culture in Poland-Lithuania?
I wrote many comments on you videos but never introduced myself. I'm a french history student seeking to work on Polish-Lithuanian region. This region's sociocultural history really fascinates me since I gave a touch to the matter of Polish nobility this year in a small study.
So thank you very much if you have any clue to these questions !
Schmutz d'Alsace !
That’s actually a really well timed question because my very next musicology video is gonna be about this subject, be on the lookout for it when it comes out!
As for your question: there isn’t such a thing as Slavic music musicologically speaking, no more than there’s a Germanic musical province or a Romance musical province. The thing about musical provinces is that they’re their own category and they don’t match up or line up with other groupings such as ethnolinguistic ones. Slavic is a linguistic family, and it only works as that: a linguistic category (with some cultural traits shared beyond language in the case of Slavs).
There isn’t such a thing as typically Slavic music-because there’s no such thing as Slavic musical components like Slavic notes, modes, chords, techniques, etc, or for that matter Geemanic musical components, or Turkic, etc. Russians don’t have a more typically Slavic music than the Serbs-one just has European music with a strong Eastern European flavour, the other is Balkanic; both are completely defined by the location they’re in. The point is that when talking about musical provinces, ethnolinguistic categories are completely irrelevant-musical provinces don’t follow ethnolinguistic lines. You look at “oriental” music, and Arabs, Greeks and Turks have fundamentally the same music. The fact that one is Semitic, another Turkic, another Indo-European etc is completely irrelevant. All that matters is where a culture is placed geographically. So there’s no such thing as Slavic music *musicologically*; Russians have the same music as their non-Slav neighbours in the region, ans Serbs have more similar music to Albanians and Greeks than they do Russians, because all that matters with musical provinces is physical proximity.
As for Polish baroque, I know absolutely nothing about it so I’ll refrain from saying anything hahaha, my entire knowledge of Baroque is limited to French baroque, Lully is life :p
In the case of the Slavs I’d add that there’s this one thing that does coincide neatly with their family which is the white voice, it’s this kind of screechy and high pitched female vocal texture, but that’s really the only Slavic musical feature that can actually be called Slavic musicologically, there isn’t a Slavic music system or theory, and the same applies to all other ethnolinguistic families.
Those parts reminds me of instrumental parts of Vahagn's birth......
Great work Farya :)
Yes ,you're right
Another great song composed by the High Court Musician Farya for the Palace of Blachernae!
Great music! This song touches my heart.
As an „amateur - historian“ i really enjoy your channel.
What comes next? Maybe an „Belisarius song“? Or an „Aetius - the last roman“ -song?
Greetings from Germany (Francia / Magna Germania in late antiquity)
excellent work, please do the same for Flavius Belisarius
Hey farya just wanted to say your music is awesome really captures the soul of so many cultures and more importantly subcultures.
As an Iranian armenian I would be so interested to see if you could come up with something to represent Iranian influenced armenian music found in Esfahan. It’s something that isn’t explored much.
