Music from the historical repertoire of Tang-era music, erhu by Amanda Toh, pipa by Pang Wingg Man, arrangement by Farya Faraji. This is an arrangement of a historical piece of music from the era of Tang-dynasty China using modern Chinese instrumentation, known by the name Cáo Pó. Keep in mind that the melody I selected here is one of the many variations based on reconstructive methods. Described in the poem "Chasing the Past" (追昔遊) by Yuan Zhen (元稹), it was a dance piece. For more information on the melody, I refer you to this video with more exhaustive explanations: ruclips.net/video/CfF2PNBzlnE/видео.html Tang-era music demarcates itself from modern Chinese traditional music due to the stronger emphasis on heptatonic modes. Whilst modern Chinese traditional music has a tendency to emphasise pentatonicism relative to earlier eras, said earlier eras like the Tang-dynasty's would feature higher occurrences of heptatonic modes like the one heard here. The instrumentation consists of a modern Chinese ensemble of erhu, sheng, yangqin and pipa. The Tang dynasty ruled from 618 to 907, and it is seen by most historians as a golden of Chinese culture, some considering it the apex of many Chinese arts such as poetry.
Not gonna lie, with your music reaching further east, now with East and South Asia represented, I can't help but look forward to (hopefully) seeing you tackled Southeast Asia :D
as a hongkonger, i have been waiting AGES for you to release a track about china. peroz of china was the appetizer, and now the main course is here! nice job farya! 大唐盛世之樂譜終於得到傳承了！
I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes the erhu sounds like a voice and then like an instrument and then again like a voice. Such an interesting sound. It's very vivid.
Never imagined Farya Faraji making some chinese music! As a polish person who plays 3 chinese traditional instruments this is like a dream come true!!!
who was the first Chinese emperor of Mongolian decent? I genuinely wonder about this because I have read many moons ago that the Tang and Song dynasty as well as the Yuan Dynasty rulers were decedents of Chinggis Kahn and therefore I'd appreciate a refresher for the memory
@@HrLBolle that depends on what you define as Emperor, or Mongol. Genghis was long after the Tang, and I believe you're referring to Emperor Taizong, who was styled as a Khan of the northern Turks. Officially it was Kublai, but it can be argued that Abaoji of the Liao was the first of Mongolian descent, but that seems anachronistic and reversed, since the Mongols came after the Khitan. Same with going back further to the Murongs of the Yan and the Tuoba of the Wei.
@@Ulfr5 that's a lot to sort easiest for the definition Emperor = Ruler over the lands that would become known as China and the surrounding nations. Mongol as someone who was born and came from the lands today known as Mongolia and the region of Inner Mongolia.
@@HrLBolle it'd be Kublai if you're looking for a ruler over a unified China. If you're thinking of anyone from the region of Mongolia who later claimed to be an Emperor, but had other claimants to the Imperial throne, it'd be Liu Yuan, leader of one of the Xiongnu tribes going back to the fall of the western Jin dynasty, who claimed to be a matrelineal descendant of the Han Emperors.
The Tang were definitely Chinese. However, general An-Lushan, a Sogdian Turk, declared himself emperor and founder of the Yan dynasty during his rebellion against the Tang(he didn't reign beyond a year).
Farya you’re getting my hopes up about a late Qing era inspired piece, focusing on blending of Western orchestral and traditional elements. Crossover songs are always the best.
This makes me excited. If Farya can make it to Asia, then Southeast Asia is on the cards I hope. But besides that, great job with this one! The fact that you're really trying to give some historical accuracy to the theme even if it's more epic than purely historical makes me immersed in the time period and even emotion of the piece.
Thai piphat or Indonesian gamelan music would be great examples. However, Southeast Asian traditional music relies heavily on the metallophone instrument ensemble which hardly exist in the Western World.
...I've literally been seeking this exact kind of traditional Chinese and Japanese music lately. Leave it to one of my favorite artists to answer my prayers once again ❤❤❤
How wonderful is that! I love Chinese history and especially the Tang Dynasty. And for me the Erhu is the most emotional and unearthly beautiful musical instrument. Thank you very much!
I was wondering if you planned on doing videos about video game soundtracks. Because the phenomenon around this is extremely interesting, we can't just call them "video game music" anymore. If anything, you should listen to a few osts from the "dark souls" trilogy, like sir alonne's, midir, pontiff sulyvhan, the abyss watchers and Ludwig the holy blade (he's from another game, but it's extremely good). I'd love to see you talk about video game soundtracks. I think the one i just mentionned are the perfect representation of how video game music basically became extremely good over the years
@ yeah, the first golden age I was referring was the Han Dynasty, however, I'd rather have music on the Warring States Period, as it was one of the most epic periods.
i really wish this got more views. I love Chinese history and Daoism. The Dao de jing has many of the same themes as Meditations on how to be a good person, respecting your peoples freedom, and to live one with, rather than opposed to nature.
Farya really listened and gave it a go. Looking forward to future Epic Chinese and Byzantine music. Though I would like to see Farya make an epic song about Tang Taizong like how he did for the Bulgarslayer Basil II!
Oooh this is so cool! Thanks to you Ive become much more familiarized with near eastern and Mediterranean music, so now Im really interested in learning more about the world of East Asian music. Like I didn't know Chinese music used to be more heptatonic at certain points, instead I assumed it was always pentatonic. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Tout ça est très cosmopolite comme sous l'ère Tang. Les percussions qui donne le tempo, et l'ehru qui joue sa partition: cela rend l'ensemble assez harmonieux. Il faut s'imaginer déambuler au sein du palais impérial de Chang'an pendant la fête des lanternes. C'est une belle réussite bravo !
Very beautiful. So refined. Perhaps you might consider a musical telling of the journey of Marco Polo. Seems like that would be right up your alley. Hundreds of years old, many lands and peoples, huge distances and lots of drama. His journey, as told to and written down by his fellow inmate, while in prison, can be found online and what a story it is.
I remember when people requested Chinese music and you weren't comfortable enough with the Chinese musical system yet, but I knew it was only a matter of time before you'd tackle it :D

Nice surprise. Thank you for your dedication Farya Faraji, you are an exceptional artist, no wonder you have grown so much recently! Congratulations!
@@faryafaraji I think one of my recent pastimes is trying to guess what the theme or culture of Farya Faraji's next release will be hahaha

It is a golden age indeed. Only a shame its peak didn't last very long. If only it had lasted.
When I saw the title, I expected Farya to sing in Chinese
Here before this gets famous
Haha, I don't think he can do that yet
He needs to level up to level 35 samurai first
Then in the next step he sings Aztecs human sacrifice hymn😂
An eventuality that's years down the line 😂

Because Chinese is a tonal language, I can imagine that you will be practicing for a long time

大唐盛世之樂譜終於得到傳承了！
A minute of silence for those who haven't found this great channel yet.
a channel full of clickbait and fake historical narrative
Farya Faraji has the mandate of heaven
Farya Faraji started making music about historical figures. ended up becoming a historical figure himself.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
he seems impressive in his own right, a lot of effort, various wide ranging knowledge, material possessions, etc.
Someone said Peroz of China was probably the only even closely Chinese piece Farya would do, and Farya was just like "ya bet."
Farya's main hobby is breaking the expectations of his fanbase lol. He would make music you would expect him to not to make and it's amazing
@@justinianthegreat1444
Recommend yourself to voice for Farya's Chinese Music
@@_SUPREME_ARCHAILECT_OF_MALAYS ehhhhhh Idk if he's gonna agree to that lol
I don't know if it's just me, but sometimes the erhu sounds like a voice and then like an instrument and then again like a voice. Such an interesting sound. It's very vivid.
Sometimes bowed instruments can sound like that and it's just so wonderful.
Yeah, and its weepingly tune in D Mixolydish weepened me, which I believe that it is something full geason in folklorish Chinish gleecraft. 🥺
Never imagined Farya Faraji making some chinese music! As a polish person who plays 3 chinese traditional instruments this is like a dream come true!!!

It's great to see all the Chinese/far-East music coming onto this channel. I hope Farya will reach Vietnamese music one day
I was once a Daoist and am now a Christian, both schools of thought among many others were allowed to flourish under this dynasty. Truly a golden age.
A golden age of Chinese culture. I believe the word age is missing in the description.
Very atmospheric music. Sounds old and new at the same time.
Confucius said: "He who keeps the old akindle and adds new knowledge is fit to be a teacher!"

Making an epic music video on Han Wudi (the Chinese equivalent to Imperator Avgvstvs) would be a great idea!
A Han-Xiongnu wars symphony would be a great but one can only dream
I feel like Faryas Faraijis music is marching ever eastward and has now found italef in the heavenly courts of the chinise emperors
This really is epic and beyond amazing ❤️ thank you for everything ❤️
It was so beautiful that you can't help but get lost in the sound of erhu!!!
Farya, please please please make more Chinese music.
Thanks for the new video !!! 😊

Second Golden Age of Chinese history.
Can't wait for some Warring states history.
Warring states period is unstable time in chinese history
@ yeah, the first golden age I was referring was the Han Dynasty, however, I'd rather have music on the Warring States Period, as it was one of the most epic periods.
I'm happy that you are featuring music from other cultures on your channel
Thanks for fulfilling the request ❤
Dude, if Farya is getting into east asian music now, holy shit, this is gonna be amazing. Amazing music already, going right into my playlist!
