Shāpur the Victorious - Epic Iranian Music
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2023
- Music & vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn't reconstructed music from the period, only modern Iranian music with an ancient theme.
The text sung here is a period one, inscribed on the so called Kaba of Zoroaster during the reign of Shāpur the First, second ruler of the Sasanian Empire. Though Shāpur himself was ethnically a Persian like the rest of the Sasanian dynasty, he was ruling at a time when the Arsacids, ethnically Parthian, had just ruled over Iran for over 400 years. Due to the still lingering prestige of the Parthian language as well as the political standing of the Parthian noble houses in the Empire, inscriptions were often written in both Persian and Parthian, and this is the case with this inscription.
Whilst the Persian version of the inscription is now damaged and illegible, the Parthian one is intact, and therefore the sung lyrics here are in the Parthian language; an interesting example of the multi-ethnic and multicultural reality of Ancient Iran. Keep in mind that there are virtually no guides on Parthian pronunciation available anywhere, so I simply projected modern phonetics unto the text; the same way Shakespeare is often read in a Modern English accent and not the period one Shakespeare himself would have used.
The music is written mostly in the style of modern orchestral and symphonic Iranian music of the 20th century. A santour as well as a historical war horn are also featured, as well as daf drums.
Lyrics in Parthian:

English translation:
And when I first became established in the land, Gordian Caesar drew together an army from all the land of Rome, Gothia, and Germany; and to Asurestan he came against Iran and against me, and at the boundary of Asurestan at Mishik there was a great face-to-face battle.
Gordian Caesar was killed, and the army of the Romans was destroyed, and the Romans made Philip Caesar.
And Philip Caesar came to me for supplication, and for their souls gave 500,000 dinars in blood money to me, and he was established as a tributary. And because of this I gave Mishik the name Victorious is Shapur.
And Caesar lied again, [and] did harm to Armenia. And I moved against the land of the Romans, and an army of Romans 60,000 strong was killed at Bebalis.
And the land of Assyria, and the land which is around Assyria, was all burned, laid waste, and plundered; and there were taken on this one occasion from the land of the Romans these fortresses and cities. - เพลง

Modern Persian translation:
زمانی که به پادشاهی رسیدم سزار گُردی بر علیه ايران و بر علیه من ارتشی را از سرزمین رُم، گُتیا و گِرمانیا به سرزمین ّاسورستان آورد و در مرز اسورستان در استان میشیک جنگی بزرگ در گرفت.
سزار گُردی کشته و ارتش رمی یان از بین برده شد و رمی ها فیلیپ را سزار کردند.
فیلیپ سزار رُم به نزد من آمد و التماس کرد و در ازای تضمین زنده ماندنشان پانصد هزار دینار پیشکش آورد و به این خاطر نامم را پیروز شاهپور برگزیدند.
سزار دوباره دروغ گفت و به ارمنستان حمله کرد و من هم به سرزمین رُم حمله کردم و در بِبالیس شصت هزار رُمی کشته شدند.
و سرزمین اسورستان از بین برده شد و بسیارشهرها و قلعه ها را از رُمی ها به تصرف در آوردم

How intelligible were Middle Persian and Parthian?
@@Thug_Shaker To me it looks like a case of similar Romance languages. I met Italians this spring and we spent three days conversing in different languages; me in Occitan and them in Italian and perfectly understood each other. Looking at the massive similarities between Parthian and Middle-Persian, it seems to be a similar case
But this is not IPA, this is a Romanisation in the Latin alphabet
You know its a great day when Farya uploads Iranian music
And one of Shapur at that.
Can't freaking wait❤

Wow! The Shāhanshāh is back, this time with a Roman emperor as a captive.
@tofek3125 Lol, not really. Odaenathus was defeated by the Persians before he could reach Ctesiphon.
@tofek3125 Yes, the sources are conflicting. Some say that he besieged the Persian capital Tisfun (Ctesiphon) but failed to take it, and others say that he was routed by the Persian forces near the Jewish town of Nehardea, which was located on the banks of the Euphrates some 120 km north-west of Tisfun (Ctesiphon).
Shapur I was an awesome king I think there are 6 victory reliefs and inscriptions in pars province created by him which means he has more victory reliefs and inscriptions than any other sassanian shahanshah
Which source describes his defeat by persians? @@ShahanshahShahin
It's always so cool to learn what labels and names ancient people used for other tribes like "Garmāniya" and "Gōt".
The word "Farang" was also used in Persian language to refer to Western Europeans, mainly the French and the Germans. The term is derived from the word "Frank," which was the ethnicity those people belonged to. This term became popular after the first crusade when the French and German crusaders arrived in the Middle East, and was often used to refer to Crusaders in general. Also, the West European region was called "Farangestan" up until 20th century, translated to "the place where Franks live."
@Yazdegerdiranyar could you share where you got this from? I'd love to read more about this.
@@dfv2060It's public knowledge.
@@Yazdegerdiranyarinteresting. But we do have names like Farangis as mentioned in Shahnameh, written roughly 200 years before the crusaders entered the middle East. My assumption was that Farang would mean something like "fair".
@@Yazdegerdiranyar in India where Persian became court langauge under Mughal rule , all the westerners were called Firangi. I think its related to this Farang term
love your Iranian pieces.
It's truly remarkable that even though the script was written in classical Pahlaw language (Parthian), it was quite intelligible to me as a Persian speaker Tajik with a Mazari (Balkhi accent). While it may not be possible to translate it word for word, I could understand the meaning of each sentence to a significant extent just by listening, even without the English translation. This experience was incredibly emotionally fulfilling. In my opinion, the Sasanians feel like the Kayanians reborn, and I hold them in higher regard than the Achaemenids and Arsacids. This is your best Iranian work so far. Dear Farya, thank you for your existence and for sharing your Yazataic melodies with us.
Additionally, I'd like to mention that I was in an AI art generation program, attempting to create captivating artwork for my short story. When I aimed to generate art for Warahran, the archangel of courage, bravery, and chivalry in Iranian folklore, the resulting image bore a striking resemblance to you.
Greetings to the Roof of The World! All the Tajiks I've ever met have been amazing:)
@@Almugavar Yes, as a Indian Punjabi I can say the Tajik's are great and we love them. BUT we had some SERIOUS problems with a very nasty Uzbek guy name BABUR a few hundred years ago. :(
But the past is the past, and we love you all! :)
I love how grand and uniquely epic it sounds😭
This is the most pleasant Parthian rendition I've yet heard, nice work
Shapur was parthian not persian?
@@averagecomicsenjoyer6545 He was Persian but we don't have the Persian lyrics, only the Parthian ones. See video description
@@McVaySwifty oh right i saw it
Ohhh. Shapur came, Roma was defeated. Gordian was killed, Philip surrendered, Valerian was captured!😂
No need to be so complacent. Rome and Persia each fought as honourably as the other (unlike the shameless Arabs), and I respect both of them.
@@TheNineteenthCentury I have no complacent. I respect all civilizations, Rome, Persia, Islam, China and so on.
@@Renhaoquan
That is fine.
@@TheNineteenthCentury I say something about Shapur upstair. I have no means that Rome is inferior.
@@TheNineteenthCentury
Yes, right !
This song fills me with the strange desire to spend centuries fighting the Romans over Armenia.

Farya, you have the souls of Shapur, King Vahram and so many of the ancients speaking through you! And through your voice and music, you take us to a journey where we can travel to times long gone by and feel the presence of the ancients in the depths of our hearts and souls. I cannot thank you enough. Bless you.
Good work, Farya! I have started to learn Persian thanks to your songs! Long live Iran and may greatness return to it soon!
Sincerely,
A humble Murcian
You're a kind man. good luck with learning Persian and enjoying the poetry of Iran :)
@@Aerthorus you are so kind! I'm mostly learning the alphabet right now, but I am dying to start to learn the language itself. It sounds so melodic!
@@tomillo4104 thank you friend, yes the other day i was talking to my phone in public and someone asked me what language is that? and i said it's Farsi(Persian), she said it sounds so melodic and poetric !! That was interesing because as a native iranian i hadn't noticed it myself hah.
@@Aerthorus well, maybe Ill be able to speak melodicly soon enough, friend!
@@tomillo4104 sure you can, as a language student who is fluent in 3 languages and conversational in 3 more, I'll tell you Farsi is one of the easiest and fun languages to learn, no feminine or masculine pronounces, or so..
You just need to be committed to learning and practicing :)
i like how in some ways it kind of almost sounds like another extrapolation of the rome motif/sons of mars, which is fitting given the context. almost like a sort of proverbial response to the roman vibes
of course, it could also just be me being all crackpot about it. good shit either way
I’m surprised someone noticed that fast haha. Yeah the chord progression is the same as my Rome leitmotif’s, it was a way of subtly hinting to Rome due to the lyrical content
The fact that the 1800-year-old Parthian word for "when" - "kaδ" is cognate with my modern Serbian "kad" really makes me happy for some reason lol. Obviously being 1800 years and a linguistic branch apart, you can nonetheless still find this glimmer of the Indo-European connection and it makes the song seem closer. Just like Parthian/Persian "ud" and English "and."
Persians say "key" which is also similar to that word
In Hindi it's kab
Sanskrit: Kada
@@vidraj3003 That one is also still equally valid in modern Serbian.

@@sal6695 Collecting ancient coins is a hobby of mine.
In addition to Shapur's inscribed exploits here (details may vary), he also defeated and captured Emperor Valerian and his entire army.
He held Valerian captive, and putting the captured army to work (all ancient Roman armies are also unbelievable engineers), their handiwork may still be admired in Iran today in what still remains of the _Band-e Kaisar_ or _Pol-e Kaisar;_ Caesar's Dam or Caesar's Bridge.

Excellent work as always, Farya. I've started to learn Persian and get interested in Iranic languages because of your music, I've found some curious aspects that my mother tongue (Spanish) share with this great language family, I'm truly amazed by the influence of the Iranian cultures in the world.
Keep the good work as always and thank you for creating this outstanding piece.
Beautiful music! Only three rulers in the history of the world--became the 'sole ruler of the entire known world' by their own will and ability. The first was Cyrus the great, the second was Alexander of Macedonia, and the third was 'Shapur I the great'. The greatest military genius the world has ever known.

Hey Farya,
I'm reposting a comment from another video here, on the off chance it's more visible in a more recent video (sorry if that's not the done thing).
From the "Cantiga 235 - Medieval Iberian Song" video:
"I'm really glad youtube recommended your channel. You have a great channel. I've thoroughly enjoyed your epic talks as well as the music you produce. It is a great thing, being able to listen to folk music from different traditions. Hope you get to make even more music from other musical traditions.Also, more epic talks, definitely.
You said in the description that you didn't find much about old Galician-Portuguese pronunciation. As a Portuguese person, I also got curious, so I went looking for something. I don't know if you came across it, but I found a website that has quite a bit of info on the subject, it also has sources, so you don't have to take it at face value. The site is actually dedicated to the Cantigas de Santa Maria, it is specifically meant for singers, I guess, for those who want to do historically informed performances. The person who runs it seems keen on proper pronunciation of the songs. Wikipedia's English page on Galician-Portuguese also has some info and some sources, but comparatively very few.
I hope you do some more Cantigas, I am, to be honest, more interested in the Cantigas of the profane variety. I went looking for them and ended up reading a couple of the cantigas de escárnio e maldizer (insult and mockery), and they were both hilariously more crass than I expected. It would be fun to see those sung. TH-cam might not like it though. There is a Portuguese website (from a Portuguese university) with all of them transcribed and other information as well, some of them have an English translation. I don’t think many are translated, though. For those who can read Portuguese, it is pretty great as there are a lot of annotations to the Cantigas that clarify things a bit. One of the Cantigas that I was amused by was “Abadessa, oí dizer” by Afonso Anes do Cotom; this one has an English translation.
On another note, would it be alright if I used some of your music in some videos I'm planning on making? Of course, with proper attribution.
Also, what instruments did you use in this song?"
About this video, could you remind me of why you term some of your music "epic x music"? I know you said something about it somewhere, but I can't quite remember what you said.
By the way, nice song and lovely voice. It's also great for your epic talks, I mean really good for that. I swear, you could mint some money doing asmr videos. 😂
OK, I think this is long enough.
Farya uploads this days after my daughter is born. I’m taking it as a sign lol
Bravo farya 👏🏻👏🏻
Shapur yekom is my favourite shahanshah after Cyrus the Great and Ardashir Papakan.
Edit: But I don't understand something; In middle Persian, which is also used in the thumbnail, his name is spelled Shhpwhwy (Šhpuhry), but the romanized version suggests that it's read as "Šābuhr".
And from what I can understand, apparently middle persian is the opposite of French; They would say the letters, but not write them.
Or use the same letter for a different sound.
Not to mention they have like 3-5 different ways of writing.
:))))))))))))
Can someone explain this to me?
I am Cyrus is the best one imo
Many Iranian languages pre-Islamic-conquest were written in the Pahlavi script, an abjadic script derived from the Aramaic one. Abjadic scripts generally have very few, if any, letters that represent vowels, which are instead inferred by context. Or if you're a young person or a non-native speaker trying to learn a language that uses such a script, dots and similar diacritics will be added as so-called matres lectionis.
Another thing that may be adding to the discrepancy here is that, although the text in the thumbnail is in Middle Persian, the song itself is in Parthian, since, on the bilingual monumental inscription Shapur had built, that was the basis for the lyrics, the Parthian version is fully in tact, while the Persian version has suffered a bit of damage.

@@Niklas.the.13th. oh, those. Those ones seem to be in Modern Persian, which is written in a variant of the Arabic script, which is also an Abjadic script.
You've single handedly revived the Sassanid music!
Good job; Keep it up ...
Awesome! More, more iranian music!
Great big work, thank you farya🩵🩵
I really wish to see you perform your persian songs live
Best of Bests in music, just like King of Kings in Iran🎉❤
So majestic. Fabulous Mr. Faraji.🎉🎉🎉
There is so much rich history and beauty in Persian/Iranian culture. My Iranian friends are amongst some of the most inspiring and wonderful people I know.
Hi farya i'm a big fan of you and i really enjoyed it btw can you do the 'ezir kara'? It's a tuvan's folk song
Wow. I feel proud just by listening to this song.
Here after the new Crusader Kings III Legacy of Persia DLC to get my VIBE on
Also you shuold build a music about shapur the 2nd
Dhul aktaf deserves his own symphony chronicling his Sweet 16 in Arabia
Great as always
Esta increible, pero creo que deberias hacer una sinfonía para el emperador Aureliano o para Marcus Aurelio o Mayoriano, aunque esa última ronperia el corazón.
Lord, have mercy, I do love Farya's Iranian hymns! What masterpieces!
Amazing this one
Great song, deserves way more views
Incredible as always! I'm an Acadian from Nova Scotia and would love to hear your renditions of some traditional Acadian songs. You may be familiar with Suzie Leblanc?
Keep doing what you're doing!
Meilleurs vœux

تو بهترینی پسر❤
Very good❤
Farya Faraji bro, can you do a piece on Prince *"Pērōz III," the son of **_*"Yāzdegerd III Shāhriyārzād"_* and his journey to China, combining the music of late Sasanian era Iranian music with that of the Tang Dynasty of China?
Unironcally Chinese + Iranian Music, Architecture, whatever is Fucking Wack (in a Good Way)
You are the best❤

پیروز شاه ☝🏻
Sassanids, always the victorious against the Roman empire❤️❤️🔥🔥
Until Justinian and Heraclius came along😂
@janstaniszewski536 Justinian didn't do jack. It was all Belisarius. And Heraclius literally went senile after realizing that his miraculous victory only delayed the inevitable and unintentionally sowed the seeds of doom for his empire.
@@yaqubebased1961 Yeah but still Justinian was the one who sent Belisarius to fight Khosrow and Heraclius' victories were still victories. Besides, it is still (partially) due to the heaviness of the war with Romans that the Sassanids ultimately fell so easily to the invading Muslim Caliphate. Also remember how many times had the Romans sacked Ctesiphon earlier
@@janstaniszewski536 All true, but Ctesiphon getting sacked always meant nothing bc the Parthians/Sasanian always made them pay dearly for it.
Ofarin Farya akhoi👏
سپاس و درود بر تو ایرانی غیرتمند ❤️❤️❤️🌹
The best🔥
masterpiece as always ❤️
Great Song! You are Geat Artist. I'm looking forward your next movie.
Gordian Caeser been real quiet since this dropped.
Long live the king, long live Iranshahr❤
...bro I swear to Iran that I EVERY day look at your channel to see if you posted Zahak and Afaridoon music.
Zahhak's story is tragic if you think about it. He was a pure hearted and valiant warrior whose only mistake was being naive enough to get fooled by the Lord of Lies.
Afridun's story, while glorious in its entirety, is marred by the fact that his two eldest sons betrayed him and began all the wars between the PIE peoples and their descendents today.
Pēroz šāpūr 🎉🎉
