Yo, banger Canadian Music man. Just want to point out that the Eagle used here is a symbol of the Palaiologian Dynasty of Roman Emperors (you can even see it with the ΠΑλΓ in the cross in the center.) many hundreds of years after the time of both Justinian and the Sassanian Dynasty. Otherwise, I love this song and it hasn’t even been a day. Keep up the good work!
Amazing song farya! One question: In the portion of barbad's poem, it sounds like you sing "ane man keisar", but in the lyrics it's written "ane man khadhawy". I assume you accidentally put it instead of keisar? Anyway, amazing song, I loved hearing this rendition of that poem, and hearing so many different themes mashing together not in a symphony but in a short song, *chef kiss*. Keep on doing what you do!
@@swirlyskyshock1155being a dushnila myself, I want to ad that the word for Rome in Middle Persian is Hrōm, not Rūm, but hey! We're here not for accurate language/imagery - we're here for authentic banger tradmusic, and dear Lord we got one... One whole channel of them)
4:53 - Belisarius' theme on a santour is not something I knew I wanted until now. Thank you historical footnote for giving the excuse to make it happen
The fact that The Roman Empire is being praised by a Persian, using Parsig language and Roman music mixed with Persian, gives the feeling of two great rivals admiring each other. I hope you make another music, doing the opposite
What a thoughtful comment! Amplified by the actual story. But this individual (musician, musicologist, artist, historian...)is indeed very special and unique. A true descendant of a great empire that contributed a lot to our advancement as a species. I salute and send him my respects as a descendant of the "other side".
There were certainly many underpaid Romans that defected to the Iranian side during Khosrow Anushirvan's invasions. Maybe one of them is noteworthy enough in their mention in the primary sources that Farya makes a piece about them sooner or later too.
Bro we have Peroz of China and now we have Bleschames the Persian. Absolutely lovely bro, never expected to see pieces like this but highly appreciated
@@justinianthegreat1444 Please for the Love of God treat him (Bleschames) like an actual General and not like he is gonna betray you any second like what you did with Belisarius.
Bleschames (Greek: Βλησχάμης) was a Persian military officer, who first served the Sasanian Empire and from 541 the Byzantine Empire. He is first mentioned in 541 as the head of the Sasanian garrison of the fortress Sisauranon, where he defected to the Byzantine army under Belisarius, who sent him and 800 Sasanian cavalrymen to the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. However, he did not stay there for long, and was sent to Italy in order to fight the Ostrogothic Kingdom in the Gothic War, while some of his men were sent to fight under Artabazes.
2:15 "The Shahanshah is the moon, the Khagan is the sun. My lord, the Caesar, is a cloud, pregnant with rain. When he wills, he covers the moon, when he wills, the sun." Farya'a Nineveh symphony is my favorite song from him and Barbad's Poem is one of the most iconic parts of it, so I was very glad to hear a modified version of it return here!
And is that "mounah" I hear cognate with "moon" in english? I went to wiktionary and there said that "ماه"(I just translated "moon in translator ) is cognate with "moon" and "month". Is that ≈"mounah" I hear a old version of "ماه"?
@@swirlyskyshock1155You published your commentary while I was searching and writing mine... "Mānadh" and I was hearning "mounah" :/ thanks for transliterate. Forget about it, but that "māh" is still cognate with english "moon", and it is very interessanting anyways.
Belisarius: Never thought I’d fighting side by side with a Persian Bleschames : What about side by side with a friend? Belisarius: Aye, I could do that
Your Roman, Ancient Greek and Byzantine music is so epic. I perform to the peak of my ability at the gym when listening to it - it makes you believe in heroism
Okay so, I have been a fan of yours for over 2 years, but this is my first comment. I see fit to finally write a commend after all this time. This is gonna be a long one ^^ I first discovered your channel in like April of 2022, when RUclips suggested "Sons of Mars" to me. For a time, that was the only song of yours I listened to, until one or two months later, when the Caesar symphony was suggested to me and I loved it as well. Then I checked out more of your Latin songs and loved how I recognized a lot of them from the Caesar symphony. However, because of both ADHD and Autism, I have a very selective hyperfocus and special preferences, so I only listened to your Latin songs for a long time. The exception was Carrhae (Oh how happy I was when that came out), but even though I genuinely loved the entire thing, the cameo of Sons of Mars made me very ecstatic and it was definitely my favourite part. But then, a few months ago, I listened to Justinian (Oh god how I loved the Greek version Sons of Mars in the "The Shadows over me" chapter, I can't even describe it; it creates some sort of nostalgia, this "flashback to the old glory times", and it also shows how much time had passed between Caesar and Justinian, and how much had changed over the centuries), which made me love Greek and Persian as well and which was the door to me listening to many of your other songs. As a result, I also gave Nineveh a listen, and well, let's just say that it didn't stay at just "a" single listen. When I then listened to Thermopylae, Manzikert and The Fall of Constantiople, I began loving Greek and Persian even more, and Turkish/Turkic as well, and when, ca. one month ago, I first listened to The Crusader and The Janissary, I loved all the different languages even more. Honestly, your singing makes all languages sound beautiful, although my favourite will always remain Latin. I also love how I always listen to your symphonies first and only then recognize the individual melodies later on when listening to the shorter, individual songs. For example, when I heard the Persian Empire's theme in your Thermopylae Symphony, my first thought was "Wait, I recognize this, this is from the Gaugamela part of the Alexander symphony" before only later on realizing that it's your Achaemenid theme ^^ And of course, now this song. So much to love about it, but definitely the two biggest things: 1.) I recognize 2:15 from Nineveh. While I can't fully recall the full translation, I do remember how, in Nineveh, it meant something like "The Caesar is the moon, the Khagan is the Sun, and the Shahanshah is the clouds and can obscure both Sun and Moon whenever he wants", but here, Caesar and Shahanshah are switched, symbolizing the Persian fighting for the Caesar. 2.) Belisarius' theme with Persian lyrics and that (string?) instrument you also used heavily in the "The two eyes of the world" chapter of the Justinian symphony fucking slaps hard and I love it. There's probably even more I wanted to write and which I just lost in the endless chaos in my head, but seriously Farya, thank you deeply for this fantastic channel you have created here. You do wonderful work, and your music has been a favourite of mine for over 2 years. Even though I temporarily lost interest when my life took a very dark turn for the worst during the summer of 2023, after that I continued listening again. Ever since I heard your first song, you have inspired many things in me; your music is great for my imagination and creativity as far as creating my own fantasy universe is concerned, while you also made me interested in learning Latin and Greek (whenever I finally get my ADHD under control, because as long as that chaos rages in my brain, there's no chance at learning any language) and made me even more interested in languages than I was before. I wish you and your channel all the best. I truly love what you do here, even if I don't listen to every single song and have my special hyperfocuses. Thank you again :)
What do you want him from that era? Sing about destruction of a land? About lives that was sacrificed or women were enslaved on corpses of their man? About a hundred years of chaos?@@DM5550Z
All i can say is that im speechless. I play santoor, hearing belisarius' theme on the santoor motivated the hell outta me to go and learn it. Thank you farya, for all your amazing work.
Ever since my son introduced me to the works of Farya I have been entranced and captivated by this beautiful sound - it needs to be brought to a much wider audience - Greetings and Love from NW Scotland , my friend .
Something I love about your songs is that they help me discover new historical facts or characters that I later research on my own, and you also give exposure to musicians and artists so that their work can be appreciated as well
Thank you Faria for this epic. I am truly inspired by this channel, and I would like to add that as an Iraqi I would love to hear something one day about the Akkadians, Assyrians and Abbasids.🇮🇶❤🟩⬜🦁☀️⬜🟥
You never fail to impress me with your music. Thank you. I will keep leaving comments so hopefully more people hear your music. Your work deserves to be recognized.
What an amazing mix of melodies. It reminds me of the Nineveh 627 A.D. symphony It's been a while since the last Byzantine music, the wait certainly was worth it 🔥
Looking at the other comments, I wanna put forth two more suggestions: - The opposite, Romans serving Persia, Greek Byzantine-themed music of praising the Shahanshah in Greek - The Battle of Firaz, where Eastern Romans and Persians fought together against the invading Arab armies. An epic mix of Greek, Iranian, and Arabic music would be one hell of a treat for the ear
@@saladyn1000 Hell yeah! Lets make this comment big so that Farya notices. I would die to hear all the lyras, laoutos, kanonakis, and chants in praise of the Shahanshah, or should I say, Basileus Basileon
Farya el Aqueménida Faraji se volvió Bizantino-Sasánida de golpe. Y me encanta la mezcla. Farya the Achaemenid Faraji got Byzantine-Sassanian quicky. And I love the mix.
Thank you for introducing me to so many different regions cultural style of music. I first came across your channel through your song, Belisarius. Now I've listened through most of your Iranian songs and French ones alongside your Epic Byzantine songs. A symphony for Constantine XI would be really cool and I think could be unique by allowing you to use traditional Turkish instruments alongside Greek ones. Keep up the hard work Farya!
Thank you Farya, this song really undoes the concept of monolithic civilisation blocks, and gives rise to a more complex picture of how the ancient peoples interacted. Your music may not be actually ancient, but really captures the ancient feelings.
This is what I did not expect! If you combined this song with the part "The Empire of the Iranians-Rhahzadh the Armenian" in the symphony Nineveh and the melodic line from Belisarius, then, Farya, you are totally cool! (And how much I cried when I listened to the Justinian symphony.😭) Anyway, I liked the new song. Very much! Thank you so much for this masterpiece!💕
When Belisārius theme kicked in I felt such a great amount of joy that I felt I could fly away. This theme itself is GEM but here you have turned into sun
In the desert sun, Bleschames weaves words like silk, Wisdom in each breath. Moonlit night unfolds, Bleschames sings of lost loves, Echoes in the stars. Whispers on the breeze, Persian tales of old unite, His heart beats in verse.
This got me thinking. Would lowkey love to see a symphony set in the islamic conquest of Abu Bakr and Umar al Khattab. A wave of traditional arab music and nasheed bombastically overpowering Greek and Iranian music traditions à la Manzikert 1071 or Carrhae 58BC.
As always Farya, you outdo yourself every time! I would love to hear a symphonie about Komnenos' life, from the perilous times of the empire to the coup he led to his trials with the normans and the turks to desperation, to the crusades, to the restorarion.
Holy shit, impressive. You manage to surprise me with every song you make, I don't know how you do it. Even the artwork surprised me HAHAH. Thank you Farya, God bless you
The fact that a soldier of our greatest enemies are singing about our great empire gives the idea that they have a great respect for our empire. Maybe we are destined to be enemies but we don't hate each other because there must be respect between our two cultures
Wolf and lion shouldn't fight each other , they both know that no one can stand against their powers combined together , sadly in our history , wolf and lion kept fighting to each other rather than uniting and those....hounds and wild dogs took advantage of them...
@@Sheo-og7gmI know that hurts too, I know it very well, sometimes I think maybe there's a parallel world in which Rome and Persia peacefully ruling the world together, the first and only true empires that glorified art and culture
@@hosseinsadeghi2468 it is true, think if the persian won at Maraton, if Alexander didn't die at young age, if Hannibal persisted to sack an comquer italy, if the Persians won at Gaugamela, if Muhammad was never born or started a new religion. There can be infinite parallel worlds when Rome or Persia could never have been existed or in another where They are still existing today
I loved the paralells to Nineveh, and other battles. Would you ever do a song commemorating the brave stand of the Byzantines at Yarmouk, or Battle of Firaz wherein Byzantines and Sassanids worked together desperately to save Mesopotamia from Khalid?
The Indo-Greeks: a song about king Menander of the Indo-Greek kingdom and blending the music of ancient greece and ancient india. What do you think Farya?
It is really nice as a unit, but also is the percussion element (in percusive and non percusive instuments) and the horse-galloping (?) character, also the vocals are really good too (the tonic and subtonic vocal line especially gives an interesting effect). :)
Hello farya , it would be great if you would make a symphony or a single track about Constantine XI , i've been day dreaming about this absolute chad for like 3 months till now , i really like to hear his devotion to his people and remains of his empire and his legacy , he was the last emperor of Byzanti- no let me correct that , he was the last emperor of ROME and he died like a true hero , defending his legacy , dying with his empire❤
Incredible composition once again ! Can you add it to Spotifiy along with your symphonies like The Crusaders, Manziket 1071 A.D, Augustus and a lot more ?

You just named my top two favorite songs by Farya! And I’ve noticed that both songs have bits of the same melody in it. ❤
Bleschames (Greek: Βλησχάμης) was a Persian military officer, who first served the Sasanian Empire and from 541 the Byzantine Empire.

Farya'a Nineveh symphony is my favorite song from him and Barbad's Poem is one of the most iconic parts of it, so I was very glad to hear a modified version of it return here!
It's very impressing that a Sassanian did reffer like that to the Roman Emperor, despising the Shahanshah comparing him with the moon.
“ *Shāhānshah* māh mānadh- Khāgān Khwarshedh…”
“Ān e man *Keisar* ābr mānadh, kām gārān, Kakhwāhad māh poshādh, Kawkhāhadh Khwarshedh…”

Belisarius: Never thought I’d fighting side by side with a Persian
Bleschames : What about side by side with a friend?
Belisarius: Aye, I could do that
Forget about the Past conflicts, we are brothers and even our fights were wrong.

I also listen Farya Music at Gym... Now this This banger drums joins to my colection
hearing roman soldiers yell "avt caesar avt nihil" in farya's epic music while in the gym makes you three times stronger
y'all we are distant family somehow

I DO THE EXACT SAME
Would've never thought I'd hear a Persian singing about his service to Rome lol. Another great piece!

If you combined this song with the part "The Empire of the Iranians-Rhahzadh the Armenian" in the symphony Nineveh and the melodic line from Belisarius, then, Farya, you are totally cool! (And how much I cried when I listened to the Justinian symphony.😭) Anyway, I liked the new song. Very much! Thank you so much for this masterpiece!💕
beautiful i can already imagine how epic roman defector praising Eranshar will be
Your channel is something I've been looking for almost years now. Glad that I've found it. Thank you.
Now we just need a reverse on this, Persian music with roman vocals and some roman mixed in the melody 🔥
I've been listening to your Iranian and Roman music non-stop for the past year, and this feels like a gift from heavens
Please make more persian and greek fusion. Hits harder than a cataphract charge
When Belisārius theme kicked in I felt such a great amount of joy that I felt I could fly away. This theme itself is GEM but here you have turned into sun
Super Banger, we want more Farya, WE WANT MORE
Sigma farya yet again gracing our ears with unmatched peakness
One of the first and most famous Romeaboos recorded in history
This is like a beautiful tribute to the two greatest empires that ever existed, and I love it.
In the desert sun,
Bleschames weaves words like silk,
Wisdom in each breath.
Moonlit night unfolds,
Bleschames sings of lost loves,
Echoes in the stars.
Whispers on the breeze,
Persian tales of old unite,
His heart beats in verse.
2:16 a nice mixture of a verse rhazadh leitmotif
3:53 and a nice deploying of renovatio imperii leitmotif
It's the Sasanian leitmotif
The two eyes of Earth❤❤
Farya comes again with another banger. Dude i just close my eyes and travel back to the 600s
More like 500s but okay 👍🏼
@@ShahanshahShahin
Oopsies 👍
Learn history and listen to this masterpiece of a banger, another Farya Classic!
Thank you Bleschames for defecting and making this banger possible
Such a beautiful harmony of the music and the words..One can truly feel the history through your song..
Unrelated but I never thought that "Belisarius" would surpass "sons of Mars" in views
i just love this samples of your other songs. Love from México
Avengers Infinity War is the greatest crossover ever...
Persian song about Romans:
Love your music Farya from Yemen 🇾🇪
حميري؟ 😂 ارحب شعب اليمن.
@ بقييت حياك الله
@@hasanbasha3006❤❤🇸🇦🇾🇪
ممنون از تون 👏🏻.
This got me thinking. Would lowkey love to see a symphony set in the islamic conquest of Abu Bakr and Umar al Khattab.
A wave of traditional arab music and nasheed bombastically overpowering Greek and Iranian music traditions à la Manzikert 1071 or Carrhae 58BC.
Correction: the one with the epithet "Ibn Al-Khattab" is Caliph Umar
@@YataTheFifteenth my bad, thanks for the correction, not that well versed on the history of the Islamic Caliphate.
BATTLE OF FIRAZ
ROMAN-IRANIAN COMBINATION VS ARABS
This is a great idea
@faryafaraji make this plsss
I don't think the Belisarius theme has ever been rendered more beautifully than here.
We've had China x Iran, we've had Rome x Iran, the logical next step is Ottomans x Iran
We need "The Ottomans - Epic Music" first
@@luthfilofianda3999 does the Janissary Symphony count?
Chaldiran 1514 AD. - Epic Symphony 👀
We need Rashidun symphony
China and Rome
As always Farya, you outdo yourself every time!
I would love to hear a symphonie about Komnenos' life, from the perilous times of the empire to the coup he led to his trials with the normans and the turks to desperation, to the crusades, to the restorarion.
In each of your songs I feel like I was living in that era. Keep up the amazing work. ❤❤
See Farya Faraji, I click
Farya is basically making sountdrack for the entire World history and I am all for it!
فریا هر دفعه با یه شاهکار مارو سوپرایز میکنه
Stop following me
Stop stalking me
Make Persia great again... the world needs it!
Holy shit, impressive. You manage to surprise me with every song you make, I don't know how you do it. Even the artwork surprised me HAHAH. Thank you Farya, God bless you
Without words Great Farya simply Great
Saludos desde Colombia ❤
4:00 beautiful! Love from Serbia! ❤💙🤍
My God thats beautiful, magnificent, majestic. ❤❤❤❤
Wait a second, I recognize some of the lyrics from Nineveh!
EDIT: Oh WOW I did not expect a mashup of Shah Wahram and Belisarius! 10/10
Just listening to Belisarius's campaigns in the History of Byzantium podcast when this sublime piece dropped! Ave!
Bro the percussion on this song was Unreal! The transitions between themes were also super well done!
Magnificent farya👏👏👏👏👏🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
I enjoyed this very much thank you for sharing!
This gives me the vibe of "The Sultanate of Rum(Rome)" as a turkish!! This wonderful music clearly made for me.
When i think that farya made me used to some good tunes with story he just drops another banger
The fact that a soldier of our greatest enemies are singing about our great empire gives the idea that they have a great respect for our empire. Maybe we are destined to be enemies but we don't hate each other because there must be respect between our two cultures
Wolf and lion shouldn't fight each other , they both know that no one can stand against their powers combined together , sadly in our history , wolf and lion kept fighting to each other rather than uniting and those....hounds and wild dogs took advantage of them...
@@Sheo-og7gm Destiny is a bad business
@@FlaviusBelisarius500 destiny , poor decisions , bad timing , shit luck or whatever , I only know that it hurts , and it hurts bad.
@@Sheo-og7gmI know that hurts too, I know it very well, sometimes I think maybe there's a parallel world in which Rome and Persia peacefully ruling the world together, the first and only true empires that glorified art and culture
@@hosseinsadeghi2468 it is true, think if the persian won at Maraton, if Alexander didn't die at young age, if Hannibal persisted to sack an comquer italy, if the Persians won at Gaugamela, if Muhammad was never born or started a new religion. There can be infinite parallel worlds when Rome or Persia could never have been existed or in another where They are still existing today
Farya might not be my dealer but he sure knows how to deliver, has me coming back constantly.
bro dropping an absolute banger never missing a beat
I loved the paralells to Nineveh, and other battles. Would you ever do a song commemorating the brave stand of the Byzantines at Yarmouk, or Battle of Firaz wherein Byzantines and Sassanids worked together desperately to save Mesopotamia from Khalid?
Lol they never work toghater
Nice Farya, I love the percussion on this one and that change at about 5:25, amazing, Thank you😊
The Indo-Greeks: a song about king Menander of the Indo-Greek kingdom and blending the music of ancient greece and ancient india. What do you think Farya?
It was a total banger , great job 👏
It is really nice as a unit, but also is the percussion element (in percusive and non percusive instuments) and the horse-galloping (?) character, also the vocals are really good too (the tonic and subtonic vocal line especially gives an interesting effect). :)
Absolutely beautiful
You should sing the orphic hymns
here before 2000. let's see how many views will be. i hope for more, Farya!
Thanks for your creative work, man
That's amazing, it sounds like Byzantine house music, in the best way possible❤
It's a mixture of Byzantine and Sasanian music
even though this didnt have cool drums this is amazing
Hello farya , it would be great if you would make a symphony or a single track about Constantine XI , i've been day dreaming about this absolute chad for like 3 months till now , i really like to hear his devotion to his people and remains of his empire and his legacy , he was the last emperor of Byzanti- no let me correct that , he was the last emperor of ROME and he died like a true hero , defending his legacy , dying with his empire❤
Incredible composition once again ! Can you add it to Spotifiy along with your symphonies like The Crusaders, Manziket 1071 A.D, Augustus and a lot more ?
این خاک تمامش برای اجدادمان است با نگهبانی از این خاک له آیندگان میدهیم مانند کاری که پدرمان کوروش انجام داد❤️
I woke up to a great start of the day once again
