    Tsambouna by Dimitris Athanasopoulos of the One Man's Noise channel (check out more of his awesome music there,) music and vocals by Farya Faraji, based on Georgian folk motifs. Please note this isn't reconstructed period music, it's modern folk music. 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.
    I wanted to try my hand at a bit of Georgian music, and the history of Tornike Eristavi was a fascinating one to do it with. Tornike Eristavi was a 10th century Georgian noble and military general with a successful military career in his native homeland. However, he retired and became a monk at the end of his life, traveling to Greece where he settled, and founded the Iviron monastery on Mount Athos.
    The song follows the basic conventions of different styles of Georgian folk music, namely the gandagana and acharuli dance forms, many of them typical of the Adjarian region. These musical forms are defined by a triple metre and similar melodic progressions also found in neighbouring cultures. Traditionally, that is before the arrival of instruments due to Russian influence like the accordion, Georgian bagpipes were one of the main instruments in these genres, although we used a tsambouna here, played by Dimitris, to represent the Greco-Georgian musical fusion of the subject. The second instrument in use is the panduri, a Georgian lute played both melodically, and to provide basic chord progressions to the song.
    The final component is the usage of the famous Georgian polyphony, one of the oldest and most renowned uses of harmony in the world. Traditional Georgian harmony is characterised by drone harmony: a voice sings the fully fledged melody whilst other voices support the main vocals by repeating the same notes over a span of time, creating various harmonic intervals, usually based on fourths and fifths.
    The main chorus sings a passage from the epic Georgian poem: The Knight in the Panther's Skin, one of the defining monuments of Georgian literature from the Georgian Golden Age of the 11th and 13th century when the Kingdom of Georgia reached an unprecedented peak of advancement. It was written by Shota Rustaveli, now regarded as a national poet of the Georgians.
    Lyrics in Greek and Georgian:
    Απ' τα βάθη μακριά, απ' την Ανατολή, ah!
    Απ' τα βάθη μακριά Tα Άλογα με έφεραν εδώ
    Κατάγομαι από τα βουνά της ιβηρίας,
    Kαι τα βουνά τραγουδούν:
    რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რას არა დაკარგულია
    Mε έλεγαν εριστάβι, მეომარი
    Mε έλεγαν θάνατο, Tornike τοv κόκκινο,
    Kαι ξέχασα τα σοφά λόγια:
    რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რას არა დაკარგულია
    ნახვამდის თორნიკე πολεμιστής, τοv κόκκινο,
    ნახვამდის πατρίδα μου, ნახვამდის αχ βουνά μου!
    Tώρα ο δρόμος μου είναι ο δρόμος της αγάπης,
    Kαι ζω με αυτά τα λόγια των βουνών:
    რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რას არა დაკარგულია
    English translation:
    From the faraway depths, from the East,
    From the faraway depths, horses have brought me here,
    I came from the mountains of Iberia*
    And those mountains, they sang:
    "That which we give makes us richer, that which is hoarded is lost."
    They called me general, warrior,
    They called me Tornike the red-stained.
    And I had forgotten those wise words:
    "That which we give makes us richer, that which is hoarded is lost."
    Farewell Tornike the warrior, the red-stained,
    Farewelll, my homeland, farewell, my mountains,
    Now my road is the road of love,
    And I shall live by these words of the mountains:
    "That which we give makes us richer, that which is hoarded is lost."
    *Iberia here refers to the Georgian lands in the Caucasus, a name which was given to it in the West. It is distinct from the Iberian peninsula in Southwestern Europe.

      * "και τα βουνα (θα) κλιου (κλαινε)" = kai ta vouna (tha) kliou (klaine) = and the mountains (will) cry, is a more common saying, in my regional Greek dialect. But it is true that which we give makes us richer. Thank you for giving us this one, Farya and for the sound of my beloved tsambouna.
      Greek Song lyrics dedicated to you, Farya:
      Αχ, στην αρχή των τραγουδιών
      το αχ είναι γραμμένο.
      Είναι γλυκό είναι πικρό
      είναι κι ονειρεμένο.
      Αχ ‘σύ που φεύγεις, που τραβάς,
      που πας και ξεμακραίνεις;
      Ώρες, στα ρυάκια χάνεσαι
      κι ώρες, στα όρη βγαίνεις.
      Αχ, τα τραγούδια είν’ ευχή
      και πάρε τη μαζί σου.
      Στ’ αρώματα, στα χρώματα
      στις μουσικές χαρίσου.
      Ach, stin archí ton tragoudión
      to ach eínai gramméno.
      Eínai glykó eínai pikró
      eínai ki oneireméno.
      Ach ‘sý pou févgeis, pou travás,
      pou pas kai xemakraíneis?
      Óres, sta ryákia chánesai
      ki óres, sta óri vgaíneis.
      Ach, ta tragoúdia eín’ efchí kai páre ti mazí sou.
      St’ arómata, sta chrómata stis mousikés charísou.
      Ah, at the beginning of the songs
      the "ah" is written.
      It's sweet it's bitter
      it is also a dream.
      Ah, you who leave, who pull,
      where are you going and moving away?
      You get lost in the streams
      for hours and hours,
      you go out to the mountains.
      Ah, the songs are a wish (a blessing)
      and take it with you.
      In the perfumes, in the colors
      of music, give yourself.

    Tornike was a monk at Mount Athos when the palace asked him to aid Bardas Phokas in crushing the rebellion of Bardas Skleros. Having renounced his former life of violence, Tornike only relectantly agreed, under pressure by his fellow monks. After he completed his quest, he returned to mount Athos and founded the Monastery of Iviron ("of the Georgians"). It stand there to this day, although now it's inhabited by mostly Greek and Russian monks.

      May God allow the Greek brothers to appreciate the merits and good friendship of the Georgians towards the Greeks and in the history of Hellas and to return to the Georgian brothers all or at least these taken monasteries. This song was one of the clear bridges between these two nations. I think that those who have looked more or less into the history of Christianity and its protection, Georgians have made no small contribution to the world. Therefore, this step would bring these two nations closer together in Christ

    Tornike is simply one of the coolest figures in the era of the Bulgarslayer, almost like the retired hero who is only reluctantly called back to the field in some classic action movies. He already renounced the world and became a monk but at the insistence of Theophano, the basileus’ mother, took up arms again and decisively smashed the rebel Bardas Skleros with his friend Bardas Phokas at the Battle of Charsianon, saving the young Macedonian’s throne for the first time. Crazy to think that if he didn’t come with his army and Skleros succeeded in usurping, we might not have had the peak of the Eastern Roman Empire.
    Then befitting his awesomeness, he immediately retired as a monk once more, only this time in his own newly founded Iviron monastery on Mount Athos, which immortalized his legacy like this heaven-sent Greco-Georgian melody. Phenomenal work once again, Farya!

      Friend, I think it would be interesting for you to get to know the history of Colchis (Egris, Lasik) and Iberia and the colossal cultural heritage created by our ancestors. "Argonautics" of Apollo of Rhodes, theme of Medea and Ayet. The issues of the high development of the old Kartevian tribes of the Khalibs, the Meskhetians, the Chaldeans. During the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the creation of the Christian kingdom - the Empire of Trebizond, Alex I Komnenos and King Tamar played a role in this matter. Herodotus, Xenophon, Procopius of Caesarea, Dion Cassio or other Greco-Roman historians, travelers' notes on Georgian tribes or Georgian states. Hundreds of Georgians who held the title of magistros, antipatos or patrikios in the Byzantine Empire. And the kings of Georgia - the titles of Kurapalat, Sevastos, Archon, Basileus, Magistros. In the XI-XV centuries, Georgia was not a vassal of Byzantium, but a political ally. Also, the Georgians of Amytzantartantes, Apokapes, Doranites, Gabras, Hagiotheodorites, Kavasites, Komachites, Mourouzis, Misimates, Tarchaneiotes, Taronites, Tzanichites, Scholares, Pakourianos, Iberitzes enjoyed great influence in the Byzantine Empire. One of the oldest money units in the world, the Kolkhuri Tetri (BC VI-III), the 3 Georgian alphabets, the ancient history of Georgian farming (including wheat) and winemaking, which has a depth of several millennia, and exactly why the Greeks called Georgians Georgians (geos - land, Urgus - processing) they call us. Also, in the context of Georgian-Greek relations, there are reports of such great figures as great military figures - Bacurius the Iberian (IV-V c.), Peranius the Iberian (VI c.), Phazas the Iberian (VII c.), Barasbakourios the Iberian (VII c.), Baktangios the Iberian (VIII c.), Leo Passianos (X c.), John Tornikios (X c. to whom this song is dedicated), Gregory Tarchaneiotes (X c.), Basil Apokapes (XI c.) , Leo Tornikios (XI c.), Gregoras Iberitzes (XI c.), Gregory Taronites (XI c.), Gregory Pakourianos (XI c.), John I Baguashi (XI c.), Aabaz Pakourianos (XI c.), Liparit III Baguashi (XI c.), Kontoleon Tornikios (XI c.), John Chaldos (XI c.), Saint Theodore Gabras (XI c.), Pharasmanes Apokapes (XI c.), Gregory Gabras (XI c.), Constantine Gabras (XII c.), Constantine Tornikios (XII c.), Demetrios Tornikios (XII c.), Alexios Doukas Tarchaneiotes (XIII c.), John Tarchaneiotes (XIII c.), Nikephoros Tarchaneiotes (XIII c.), Michael Palaiologos Tarchaneiotes (XIII c.), Joseph Tarchaneiotes (XIII c.), Michael Tarchaneiotes Glabas (XIII c.), John Tzanichites (XIV c.), Georgian empresses and wives of rulers Martha Bagration / Maria of Alania (XI c.), Kata of Georgia / Kata Bagration (XII c.), Jiajak Jaqeli (XIII c.), Rusudan of Georgia (XIII c.), Anna Megale Komnene (XIV c.)... Great Christian figures - Peter the Iberian (V c .), John the Laz (V c.), George the Hagiorite (XI c.), Georgio presbytera (XI c.), Euthymius the Athonite (X-XI c.), John the Hagiorite (XI c.), Hilarion the Iberian (IX c.), Nicholas Hagiotheodorites (XII c.), Euthymios Tornikes (XIII c.), Michael Gabras (XIV c.), Michael Tarchaniota Marullus (XVI c.), etc.
