Relaxing Ancient Greek Music Vol. II
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- Music by Farya Faraji. This is not only a follow up to the 30 minute of music I uploaded two years ago, this one being entirely historically accurate compared to the previous one which took some liberties for entertainment purposes, but more importantly, this will now serve as the main resource for the sound of the Ancient Greek genera (types of melodies or modes) that I will discuss in my different educational videos, and this video will serve as a permanent resource that can be consulted at any time for audio examples of the different Ancient Greek genera.
All the music heard here is simply improvisations in all of the main, attested modes of Ancient Greek music as given to us by Aristoxenus in the Hellenistic Era, using period instruments. The first improvisations are in the diatonic genus, then follows the enharmonic genus, followed finally by the chromatic genus, most tuned using Pythagorean ratios, although Equal Temperament had to be used at certain points for convenience’s sake. Each improvisation is demarcated from the others with the name of the mode, its genus, and the instruments used. Other than serving as relaxing music, this video will hopefully introduce many to the general melodic, modal and tetrachordal soundscape of Ancient Greek music.

disgustingly underrated channel
Is there any chance you could upload an unlisted version without the ambient noises? :D
Is the video in 360p on purpose? Great music again, I love these videos the most. I study archaeology so they are great for studying
Are you Greek or of Greek origin? Perhaps Italian? You look Mediterrenean White! Simmilar to me, same eyes hair color and somewhat hairy arms!
Edit: I noticed that you look Iranic or of some Iranian group as well it is hard to determent!
@@PerdiccasMKD he is iranian
By the time I finished this latest evocative piece by Farya, Athens would lose her empire to Sparta's dominance after the disastrous Sicilian expedition; Epaminondas would end Sparta's reputation of infantry invincibility; and, Philip II of Macedon would end the era of Classical Greek city-states with world-spanning Hellenism following Alexander's exploits.
My boy added the cicadas!! My family is going back to Greece in September for a few weeks and this gets me pumped even more
We got the unbelievably epic Battle at Niniveh and now this. This is perfect for just adding to the background, sipping Greek coffee with reading a good book. You're a hidden gem on TH-cam, man.
This is amazing! We finally get to hear how ancient Greece actually sounded!
You never fail to make absolute masterpieces.
AVE CAESAR!
Every week I feel ha can't create something better, every week he disproves me
Ave Ceasar nostri dux !
@@user-dt1jd9rg5k lol, that's pretty wrong. It should be Caesar and not Ceasar. And it should be noster and not nostri...
@@Roma_753 We were all there at some point
Greek people are really got talent to make relax music, That must be a beautiful ccountry I ever been.
Had awful, anxiety provoking, day, paranoid about silly stuff etc. This is just what the doctor ordered. Beautiful. Calming me down well.
I can't believe the madlad actually teleported back in time to Ancient Greece. I was disappointed when Farya said he had tricked me in his most recent Epic Talking video, but it seems like I've been bamboozled yet again. Lovely work as always.
Farya, this is absolutely wonderful. As a person who enjoys playing background music while meditating or doing some other tasks, this was, in a way, like a gift. I would like to humbly suggest that you consider making more music like this in the future, perhaps with different historical settings, such as Ptolemaic Egypt or Celtic. Either way I love you work, thank you.
Ancient Egyptian music and ambience would be awesome
th-cam.com/video/lH2Pv7oEQ5Q/w-d-xo.html he made one last year
As much as I’d love to, I like to work with historically accurate music for this, and Greco-Roman music and Mesopotamian are the only ones attested to a minor degree, so any other of these I make will be in either of these cultures
There's no better soundscape for reading Homer - thank you!
same!!
Thank you for this! I'm doing an Ancient Greek build in Minecraft for a potential Greek-themed server, and I always love to listen to music from the time period/culture of what I'm building while I build. This came at the perfect time!
If you knew how many times I had listed the geek, Mediterranean and Roman relaxing music and then I did not realise there was a volume II already!
Thank you so much , love it!!
I really love this video. I love the historical authenticity, since this way you can truly hear what the ancient Greeks would listen to in festivals, music competitions etc. Also, 2 hours long with different tunings? What a treat! May I ask if there is a version without the cicadas? I can even buy it if it's not available on TH-cam. I'm currently in my home in the Greek countryside, and the combination of the outside cicadas with those in this video is driving me insane. XD
hahah!!Your plight made me chuckle, I'm sorry. I am from the states but now live abroad and miss the cicadas dearly so I love that they are here.
I listen to your music when I study or do any school homework, it helps me focus and not get bored with what I'm doing. Thank you for creating these masterpieces. Keep up the good work Mr. Fraya Faraji!
Shortly after coming across this video, I developed a sinus headache. This music was just what I needed to help me until my medicine took effect. Absolutely beautiful!
The first song brought a tear to my eye. Now that’s music!
Seems like as good a background as any as i begin to learn about Greek history and mythology
facts!!
The PERFECT vibe for an AC Odyssey/Classics revision evening!
I am very sure the background is actually from AC Odyssey XD
@@nilsb.8559 I would not be shocked if it was
I listened to your first composition maybe 50 times because it was not only magical but it was perfect for studying (and especially perfect as background noise when reading Classical Greek texts) and I am so happy and excited you've made a new 2 hour mix. Thank you Farya Faraji !!!
How lucky that you are studying these texts ! I'm studying medicine and have to content myself with the words being of greek origin, I remember my classical litterature classes with great nostalgia... I hope you are still learning a year later ;)
Thank you for this Farya Faraji! Every time I am doing a project I love to put my headphones on and enjoy your ancient music. I’ve always enjoyed the 30 minute symphonies and now there’s a 2 hour one. Thank you!
I wish Farya makes more of these beautiful music compilations like these because it makes me fall asleep earlier and easier at night hearing them.
Listening this while reading to Plato ❤
Salve, gratias tibi ago
Listening to this while reading the Iliad!
No bloody way, you released this just in time for my Pathfinder 2e Classical Hellenic fantasy campaign. This is gonna be perfect BGM while my players roam a spears and sandals world.
Круто! Евхарісто за вашу роботу Фарья.
new farya upload always makes the day better
This is excellent background music for braiding a Balearic style sling! I know the Balearic isles are quite a ways off from Greece and that we don't have much if any information on their historical music, but it still feels like a well enough match. Thank you very much for two hours of fantastic and historical music!
This is absolutely one of your better works! Looking forward to Roman relaxing music vol. 2!
I've been waiting for this one! Just in time for work :)
Oh I didn't expect it to be an ambience, this is -perfect-
Another amazing upload! Merci!
Hey,
I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the way you sorted the ancient music by vibe. It made it super easy for me to find the perfect tracks for any occasion
Keep up the great work!
I'm sure it helps a lot of people like me find the music they love :)
Very good music for reading!
I listen to this nearly everyday. So good.
That's so beautiful, thank u!
"Alright babe, Farya has just uploaded a new Greek atmosphere playlist, lets relax and have sirtaki with wine"
such an awesome educational gift!
Çok güzel. Devamı gelsin. Izmir sahil kasabalarından sevgiler..❤
Flawless as always
Farya you are Such a needed artist in this time of modernity . Stay well and humble you gorgeous human
Oh God, Thank you! I'm painting something quite complex right now and needed something to soothe my nerves and there you are!
That's fascinating, indeed. Thank you!..
Hey love the music, would it be possible that we use this in one of our next video? Thanks in advance!
This is excellent background music for writing my dissertation. Thank You!
Thank you for this amazing peices of music. I listen to them this evening with a good glas of wine :)
That's great. It calms me down and takes my mind away
Truly wonderful!
Thank you so much love these videos !!
Beautiful. Thank you.
I would so love this on the Spotify page ♡ it makes for a relaxing drive
This is so relaxing
Thank you brother 🔥
Farya you doing best always bro
thank you for great music! Can I use it on TH-cam?
So wonderful to listen to
Lovely!
Drinking tea, listening to this whilst reading stoic principles from William B Irvine. This is what I imagine tranquility and peace to be like.
I study calculus to this... highly recommend
dude it ACTUALLY helps me focus!! works better than any background music i tried so far!!!
Omg thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Two hours?? Yes please ❤
Beautiful
Finnaly the part 2
I am pretty sure that's Kytherae from ac odyssey anyways great music as always keep it up
I suddenly want to play Crash Bandicoot.
Ancient Greeks chilling in the evening by the shores of the Mediteranian Sea, by the fire :)
I really needed some nice music to finish writing my PhD thesis with. 🤗 Thank you. As my phone data is limited 😅 is it possible to find you and your music on some music streaming apps like SoundCloud?
Surely this amazing work will eventually be on Spotify?
Great one! It would be lovely if you could make a simillar video with byzantine/eastern roman instrumental music!
absolutely, that would be a treasure
Good idea
This was right for my night of stuffing envelopes.
What was the phenomenon that required you to use equal temperament for some of this? Pan flute only available in equal temperament?
very nice
At 55:20, anyone else recognize the Lost Woods song from Legend of Zelda ? :D also in 1:09:00
Soothing
Lovely music. As an owner of a Pandora I wondered if you ever tried to adjust the gut frets for the enharmonic genus?
Mesmerizing! I even like the cicadas in the background they add a nice touch along with the waves. I truly believe this was the sound of the ancient Aegean lands.
I know this place, I been there! Assassin's Creed Odessey : Στο νησί των Κυθήρων - On the island of Kythera 💙🏛🧿
the cicadas bring it up to the legit greek exp
this is so much better
Hey Farya! You should upload these onto Apple Music too!
32:36 Diatonic Phrygian - Lyre and pan flute is the piece that stopped me from work and the music stopped being background
Cool
Greek "music" exists only to make the words more memorable, or the fluctuations and stirrings of meter, to liberate psychic energy to evoke the words themselves. Eric Alfred Havelock, Preface to Plato.
Efcharisto' para poli!
9:30
this part soudns a bit like your "Sons of Mars" song.. the one that says "Ad Astra".. right? or am I trippin..
1 added more!!!
You should really check out Kleopas on TH-cam, his channel has ancient greek music and hymns with the lyre, but the lyrics are all in modern or ancient greek.
Could you do a cover of "Mi mu thimonis matia mu"?
Is vol 1 part of this? this seem 4x as long and can i purchase this on iTunes or on physical cd
Am I correct in saying that the thumbnail is at Kythera's temple of Aphrodite in AC: Odyssey?
praying for a Mesopotamian version of this someday
i'm not familiar with music theory but is any of these matched with the waves/cicadas?
this is awesome of course but listening to it I just got an idea that it would be amazing if there was some ancient greek sounding music that made a point to noticeably follow nature's tempos
Not really no, Ancient Greek music was entirely rooted in mathematical principles, not ones based on the mimicry of nature’s sounds :)
@@faryafaraji I see thank you
your channel is awesome
Sounds similar to the japanese koto/shimasen
relaxing late roman (byzantine) music when?
I’d like to time travel just to see the people and cities just for a minute haha so I don’t f up the future
Esto es como escuchar Koto Japonés, muy parecido
Listening to the music:
"Prostagma? Ne. Prostagma? Vouloume! Metalepsis!"
Nothing will ever beat Age of Empire’s ERECTUS though
@@faryafaraji Especially when you multi-click the unit
"Erectus. Erect-erect-erect-erec-ere-erectus!"
Is that background from Assassin's Creed Odyssey and if so I think it's Cythera
When in Greece, do what the Greeks do!
The screen is Cytera, from Assassins Creed Odyssey?...
Anyone else notice the first three notes of the first song match up perfectly to the Star Spangled Banner? Lmao
