30 Minutes of Relaxing Ancient Greek Music

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ส.ค. 2020
- Music by Farya Faraji. Some original compositions by me, and also includes an improv on the Song of Seikilos from Ancient Greece. Please note that except for the Song of Seikilos at the end, these aren't actual pieces from Ancient Greece but original compositions I made in the style of the era's music; so take the historical accuracy with a grain of salt. The instruments are all from Ancient Greece, but I played certain melodies that wouldn't have existed back then, as well as employed harmony and triads that didn't exist. Still, this should give a general idea as to the sound and feel of Ancient Greek music, but not a hyper accurate one.

Hello! I teach Philosophy in College and I was wondering if I could use this as the soundtrack to an audiobook I want to record? I would, of course, mention your name and copy paste the link to your video in the description? Thank you!
Hi, no problem, go ahead :)
@@faryafaraji Merci ! :)
@@faryafaraji This is my first try, hope you like it! Thanks again for letting me use your music, it adds a really nice touch to the text!

At the shores of the Aegean, in 380 B.C., in a salt making village, on the beaches of the Island of Skyros in south eastern Greece, you sit there, at night, star gazing.
Traveling the multiverse by thought alone
Compelling.
Bro you sent a shiver down my DNA
Upon the weft and weave of the furies we found a night where we lied to each other. A lie of bequeathed love and recourse of duty. A lie of tomorrow. I love you my wife. I hope to find you again.
I wish i had the art skills to paint this scene.
Who elese is listening this in 450 BC ?
I guess you caught mee!😂🤭

When we traveled to Greece and visited Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon several years ago, we visited at day break when the sun was rising. We were the only ones atop the hill, although there was a woman taking a morning swim along the beach and singing a song down below. The sound of the waves, the wind, and her singing was so tranquil, and this music reminds me of that amazing moment. Thank you so much.
Thanks alot for sharing this anecdote, I can imagine it in my head and it looks delightful! I've never been to Greece and have been dreaming to go there for many years, and your story just makes me want to go even more, now. Hopefully the current situation will be over soon and we'll all be traveling once again!
Reading Homer's Odyssey to this. Ty for compiling such solace bringing sounds ^.^
Thanks alot :)
ah, the same reason why i am here😂
Omg me too! Im reading it in greek. The very book we used in greek middle school! It fits perfectly!
Same!!
I'm currently reading Seneca on the Shortness of life
I’m in the middle of a book about Alexander the Great and I wanted some background music. So I decided to listen to what he might have been listening too.
What a great decision.
Book name?
@@havocspree ahh it wasn’t anything special. Just one I picked up in Istanbul when I went to see some historical sites.
Alexander the Great by Jacob Abbott.
@@MrRoz121 ah ok, thanks
@@havocspree you’re welcome man. Do you have any book suggestions for me?
@@MrRoz121 Currently reading India what it can teach us by Max Muller, give it a try
I can feel the warm sun on my face and breathe the gentle sea breeze.
A Persian here and listening to this rich beautiful music from our ancient neighbor : )
Like bro, your ancestors almost destroy them HAAHAHAHAHA
DARK CYRVS GAWA
This music is fantastic - Historical authenticity makes it so authentic and real to me . You can really imagine this being played in Ancient Greece and it being possible that similar pieces were played due to your knowledge of the types of notes used at the time. Well done!
Hello. We have similar eagles, even fascia. But my eagle is a little different.
@@italianfascist5063 Ave brother - I am from the Roman province of Britannia . Hail Caesar
@@romainvicta3076 Ave my brother. I'm from the Roman province Rutenia. And I'm glad to meet you.
Half of my blood is from the ancient Greek colony Sicily 🇮🇹🇬🇷
Original music that doesn’t loop every 10 minutes! Subscribed!
right!
As a Greek my self I really enjoyed this. And for those that can vibe the breeze the sun and the cicadas..yare all welcome to our country.
Thanks alot Lia, it's my dream to see it one day! Definitely my first destination on the list whenever the pandemic's over.
Right now if you like cicadas you don't have to leave North America
@@IPlayWithFire135 Quite interesting answer. So let ask you : if u plant the same type of grapes in different countries and climate will they turn out to be the same exact wine ? It's the same with cicadas lol
anctient greece has always been my favorite histroican time. Something is magical in that time stamp
So my friends, which story do you wish to hear? The labours of Heracles? The journey of Jason and the Argonauts? Or perhaps the feats of Perseus?
I’ve been to Greece recently and had the opportunity to watch the sun set over cape Sunion and its beautiful Poseidon’s temple. It would have been nice to imagine this playing and not the voices of the hordes of tourists there… being myself one of them 😅 haha.
I listen, in my cabin in Midgard. Sometimes I wish it wasn't so cold all the time. And the wine wasn't bad.
Only BC bros know how lit this was, When is Aristotle dropping his next mixtape?
You didn't hear? He moved to LA and fell off.
This music reminds me of the holiday i had with my parents when i was six years old. We were on holiday in Crete it was 50° and we were not able to enjoy the holiday in any way.
I remember the sand on the beach was scorching hot and the children in the villages fried eggs on car hoods.
I also remember drinking my first glass of goat's milk and sugar-sweet grapes from wild bushes. Once I stood on my back in the sun for too long and my mother was able to peel my skin afterwards.
But overall this holiday was truly an experience I will never forget and I realy miss Greece.
I love being Greek
Currently studying ancient Greece for a history class and have this going in the background. It's just perfect and setting the mood :)
I'm from turkey and my greek neighbors music is awesome
Imagine watching the sun set over the Tyrrhenian Sea in the 300s BC. Somewhere over the waves, in a place where the evening sky makes her arrival just a few minutes later, is a small town you’ve only ever heard of through traders and diplomats. A town built on marshes and hills, plagued by Malaria and her streets flooded almost every year. The people there spreak an odd language, and they worship different Gods. “A far cry from the comforts of our civilization,” you think to yourself.
A mere 100 years later, it would be your grandson who sees the first armies of this city land on Greek shores. They are led by a man called Valerius Laevinus, and the white banners they so proudly carried with them displayed in bright red letters the word…
“ROMA”
Beautifully put but the banners would say SPQR. Not an abstract concept of a polity, but marching under the insignia of the Senate and People of Rome.
They worship the same gods but under different names.
Love listening to this while studying, especially the background noise like the waves hitting the beach with the cicadas. That’s literally what summer in Greece sounds like (outside the city of course).
Yeah it was very important for me to have that noise, I grew up as a kid in Southern France next to the Mediterranean and if the Mediterranean had a musical theme, it would be the waves and the cicadas
You sir are a world class musician. I especially enjoy the second to last melody beginning at 22:51, it’s very melancholic, yet peaceful and mesmerizing. I’m a history teacher and amateur historian playing this while studying the Peloponnesian War. I can imagine weary men listening to sounds like this on a quiet summer night as a respite from war, the moon glistening on the sea. Thanks for creating this!!!
Thanks alot Sean, I appreciate the kind words!
Fun fact, that song in that timestamp is the same song used for Greece's theme in Sid Meier's Civilization 6! Look up 'Civ 6 Greece theme ancient', and you'll see what I mean!
εὖγε, ἀρέσκει μοι σφόδρα ἡ σὴ ἑλληνικὴ μουσική...
Hail to the gods may the smile towards us
Just imagine living back then, hard but good times
Not too hard if you're a citizen I'd say - thanks to the slaves
Good times, dying at 22 by being whipped.
@@Tivit180 yeah that's true, but today it's not different
@@myliamag.6512 this was definitely not the case for most people.
I would argue that happiness is something rarer in todays world than back then.
imagine being a Greek with your beautiful woman and children
peak masculinity
Wonderful!!!!Απλά υπέροχη μουσική.
Περηφάνια και μόνο για τους προγόνους
μας.!!!
This is *so* cool! I'm making my way through some Ancient Greek tragedies right now, can't wait to put this on in the background. I like that you added the sound of waves too, super relaxing
Happy you like it! Thanks alot :)
I've never heard this type of music before, it's calming, I like it
doing my ancient greek and latin homework to this, thanks for the perfect ambient noise :)
Glad it could help!
As a Greek,i love this...i travel back in 2.500 years ago..wow!❤️
This is so helpful for me as I'm writing the final paper of my ancient aesthetics course about the Greek tragedy!! Thanks so much for this! 😁😁
My favorite history is greek because their music was just so poetic like right now it tells a story about a harp player just playing the shores and a women comes attracted to the music and they both fall in love
Thank you for this beautiful music. I fantasize about life in Rome & the hellenistic world nearly everyday and this helps immensely in taking me there.
Same but I don't know where in Greece,I honestly find right now the societies of both Sparta and Athens pretty bad. I mean ,I am an italian so rome would be meh..they had problems too life would be sure interesting but still not so good it depends by the period
@@AshleyGravesreal Of course matters like this are relative. But for its time, they would have been the pinnacle of human civilisation, especially Athens during the reign of Pericles. Two thousand years from now, if we survive as a species, our descendants will look back in disgust at some of our customs
@@AshleyGravesreal things are in tune. We all have ups and downs as societies.
@@yaqubebased1961 Is that a pfp of the Sassonid empire btw?
@@JosephusAurelius Yeah.
I became quite sick with a high fever and was falling in and out of a coma. I was rushed to a hospital where I fell into a coma for 4 days. While I was oblivious to the real world around me, I found myself in an Ancient Greek villa, laying prone on an open divan, being nursed back to health by a cream colored gowned girl who wiped my brow with a cool damp silken towel. This was the music that played in the background by a clutch of Greek musicians. Then, I woke up. I wanted to stay.
That feels like true paradise there
Damn you got lucky with your coma
I've been listening to this repeatedly whilst reading Greek classics/histories etc. (I'm rather stuck in the period right now). Having this on in the background is so relaxing and immersive. Thank you so much for making this.
Thanks alot for the nice words! Very glad it could help; I also always loved hearing period-accurate music when reading about a certain time period, so I'm happy I could help out in that regard :)
Studying for the philosophy exam tomorrow to this, really helps to understand Socrates
how did the exam go?
@@rogerfederer9523 He's homeless now
Noob at studying it seems next time if you want to understand Socrates or say Epictetus read Socrates and Epictetus
"Commit an Injustice it is worst than being victim of such act."
Thanks for your great work. Greetings from Calabria 🇮🇹🇬🇷
Love from Albania, the ancient brothers and sisters of the Greeks.
The ancient brothers and sisters of the GREEKS are Hellenes. The Albanians didn't exist back then.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey was always a good game to me, recognize the ruins pretty easily.
Just realized it lol
@@divochicken2244 same, lol
My family is from Greece and we go every summer. Obviously we couldn't go in 2020 for obvious reasons but this music really relaxes me and brings me joy. Especially with the ambiance of the waves and cicadas, its perfect and really gives the feeling of being there
What does cicadas mean
@@softsunlightnaiad Cicadas are a type of insect that makes up some of the background sounds in this video.
Σας αγαπώ όλους τους Έλληνες αδερφούς μου από τους μακρινούς σας γείτονες και τους αρχαίους φίλους σας 🇮🇳🇮🇳❤❤❤
Έχουμε πολλές ομοιότητες στην ιστορία και τον πολιτισμό μας, δυστυχώς και οι δύο αντιμετωπίσαμε πολλές δύσκολες καταστάσεις
😢
Ελλάδα:- Τέλος της ελληνιστικής εποχής και κατάκτηση της Ρώμης και αργότερα από την άφιξη του χριστιανισμού και τέλος ενός όμορφου πολιτισμού
Ινδία: - Αντιμετωπίσαμε επίσης την ίδια δυσκολία όπως η κατάκτηση της Ινδίας από πολλούς ισλαμικούς τυράννους και στη συνέχεια Βρετανούς, αλλά καταφέραμε με κάποιο τρόπο να διατηρήσουμε τον πολιτισμό μας. Σας αγαπώ όλους παιδιά❤❤❤❤
Εμείς οι Έλληνες αγαπάμε την ινδια με τον πολιτισμό της , επίσης και την Ιαπωνία! Την αγαπη μας
Christianity didn't put an end to a beautiful era, it started one. The most beautiful one. The era of the Greeks was beautiful Christianity continued its beauty.
@@kornelszecsi6512 Unfortunately it didn't. (Christianity) and the rest of the conquering parties that occupied this place in the past, completely destroyed what was left in Greece and they left only a mess with confused selfish habitants who in their majority only care about themselves. It used to be awkwardly beautiful with its flaws like any other ancient civilisation but now there's only saturation, degeneration and vanity left here, all this beauty belongs to the past and not the present.
This is one of the best channels for music. Thank you. :) Very inspiring.
Greetings, traveler, may our Lord, Dionysus grant his blessings upon thee.
I feel really calm after watching this video. Good work
Thanks alot :)
@@faryafaraji You're welcome 👍
Agreed, really well done!
i do really love this channel, i enjoy listening to this when im learning greek or reading :D. Haces un trabajo maravilloso hermano, ευχαριστώ!
This is a stunning achievement. You deserve SO MUCH more recognition, I absolutely adore all of this music. I always listen to this when I have to read the ancient sources for Uni, it really helps the immersion
Aristophanes would thank you for the background music. Thank you, my friend.
thank you so much for bringing alive a precious music! I am Greek and I really appreciate it!!
To the Gods!
🇬🇷⚡️
I love this! Could you maybe make a 2-5 hours version of Ancient Greek and/or Roman Musik and Ambience? It's perfect for studying and then I wouldn't have to press "repeat" every 30 minutes :D
Thanks for your great work. Keep it up!
Dang, you preformed this yourself? I’m so impressed that there isn’t a word to describe the sheer astonishment of this realisation.
Really nice to listen! It's great you did your own music inspired by ancients ones, like you give a continuation to what was created in theses old times :)
Thanks alot! You're right, it's a way of continuing the legacy of the ancients, in a way
I'm running a role campaign set in a greeco-roman culture, and this is absolutely perfect for the ambience theme! Really appreciate the sea and field sounds.
Close your eyes and you can imagine the scenes in those days, ahhh, would of loved to live back then
Learning for my physiotherapy exams to this. Hipokrates's blessing with you
im glad to find this channel. thank you!
All people can relate to ancient Greeks and there involvement of todays world as we know it. It is nice to give back to them and credit them. So listening to this does just that.
I got no connection to ancient Greek.
@@nightowl7261 maybe your more connected to ancient Persia who knows...
It’s amazing to be able to have an idea of what the taste of music must’ve been like across the board of civilizations back in those times. Truly beautiful
So incredibly Beautiful. Thank you🌹

Hi! Really enjoyed this video, It make great background music while I was playing a chill video game. Keep it up :)
Thanks alot!
🌊 🎶 This is wonderful! I’m listening while reading the New Testament. 📖 This is perfect! I love the ocean waves and cicadas as well. Thank you so much for blessing us! Blessings to you! 🙏🏻
I love it! thanks for making this video :)
the crickets definitely make it! A big Greek Bravo from me!!
Thanks! I grew up in the south of France, so I've always known that the crickets are the soul of the Mediterranean, I can't imagine the hot sun and the waves without them :p
back when people didn’t play instruments, the instruments obviously played the people
I adore your work Farya. Bravo!!!
Thanks alot Sotirios!
Celebrating Noumenia... perfect instrumental for it 🇬🇷🌒
Great job on the pronunciation of Seikilos's epitaph.
Hey…my Greek ancestors…I’m home 😇🇬🇷🇬🇷❤
I like that sounds of nature on background, it gives more atmosphere
Very beautiful and calm, perfect❤
I work with Hecate and Apollo as my lord and lady for my (green) witchcraft/wicca and while I played this their flames went insane
Sorry that it says "edited"- it's 1.30 am and I'm tired
So calming, you transported me to the Mediterranean.
Nice work. So relaxing and it really does feel immersive combined with waves, crickets... I love traditional music :). May I ask you? How tough is to learn harp or lyre?
Thanks alot! I’d say it’s one of the more easy beginner instruments one can start with, someone with little experience can at least produce basic melodies with a lyre compared to a violin
I think it’s cicadas, not crickets 😁
Very pure and reaches the heart ❤️
Omg very nice atmosphere! You are a descedant of Pericles or someting man! Philhellene for sure
Love from IRAN 🇮🇷🤝🏻🇬🇷
The person who made this music and this video is iranian as well :)

Hello ! I make videos on history and in particular a series on ancient Greece. One day I came across a mix of traditional music from ancient Greece. I discovered that you were behind this creation and I wanted to know if I had your authorization to use it in the background of some of my videos on the subject (mentioning you of course). Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Perfect study music. You should make a Bandcamp account so I can buy this music please!!
Thanks so much! I'm planning to make one eventually if this channel gets more traffic, but until then, you can enjoy this as it is :) I'll probaby make more of these soon.
I heard about Seikilos epitaph when i was a teenager !!!
Love the Greek Music.
Very nice, thank you
Lovely for writing.

It stands there all alone in aether and in sea
