Tornike the Georgian - Epic Byzantine Music
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- 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.
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.

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.

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.
Letra incrível, profunda. O idioma georgiano soa muito bonito.
Já fez uma música da história de um homem da Ibéria do extremo leste, que tal a história de alguém da Ibéria do extremo oeste, da terra portuguesa?
Vasco da Gama, Pedro Álvares Cabral, Dom Dinis, Dom Sebastião, Vice-Rei Almeida, Dom João III, entre outros grandes nomes de Portugal.
Me sentiria muito honrado.
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.
That’s awesome, I didn’t know that’s how Iveron was founded!
Wow that's awesome, where did you get this information from I was just wondering
(Edit: I found it, he is a Saint venerated in the Orthodox Church and is called John Tornike if I am not mistaken
@@ItIsBlank.I personally learned it by reading about the rebellions of Bardas Phokas and Bardas Skleros in the 10th century A.D. But any article on the Iviron Monastery in Mount Athos or the life of St. John Tornikios/Tornike Eristavi are sure to mention it.
@@nikolaosboukouvalas449 Ohhh very nice, thanks
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
I'm Georgian proud of this. GOD save all Christians in the world ✝️☦️❤️🇬🇪🇬🇷
I am a Muslim Chechen, but we always hold our Georgian brothers with high esteem and respect. Really interesting to learn that he is also highly respected in Greece. Thy in Heaven for you, great Tornike.
Assalamu Alaikum Noxchi vasha. Big greetings to our Chechen Caucasian brothers from Christian Georgia. We have one blood and one homeland in our mountains. Ichkeria and Sakartvelo will thrive once again soon!

@@matonkyna it's a Greek mountain
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!
Deep respect for our Orthodox brothers! From southern Italy ♥️🇮🇹🇬🇪

Congratulations once again Farya...
I have visited the Iviron monastery on Mount Athos. Great arrangement
Oh was it good for you there? I wish to see it one day too!
One of the most beautiful pieces of syncretism I have heard in a while. The melody is rightfully hypnotic, yet peaceful and beautiful.
Blessed be the mountains of Georgia and the people who dwell there for making this piece of music possible.
As a Georgian of Byzantine origin (Pontus), I've got to say that this is great!

This is amazing, the Georian and Greek language/tunes flow beatifully together and music captures the essence of Georgian warrior soul for me, thanks man, გაგიმარჯოს!
As a Georgian, I'm so glad that you know who Tornike is, since most people tend to leave him out when discussing Basil II. I love it!

Georgian and Byzantine??? Yeah boi! Phenomenal piece and a great blend of Greek and Georgian melodies. Amazing.
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.

The History of the Georgian Orthodox Church is Tolkien levels of struggling for survival.
Saint Nino pray for us. 🇬🇪☦️
Just a quick question, when you say "Saint Nino pray for us" does this mean the Saint can literally pray for you or is it a figure of speech? I mean no disrespect I hope this is ok.
@@NK-kr8sj we Orthodox believe that our saints are in heaven with God, they can and I am sure are praying for us. God bless
Yes although we have the holy city the "second jerusalem" new generation doesn't even want to take care and to defend it that's why we are struggling we are waiting for something that will not come anywhere if we not do anything for ourselves. God is with us, but we people are getting away from him. This is the moral of georgians in 21st century. Im not saying that every georgian is this kind, its just majority is blinded from reality.
Tornike is also a saint ☦ When he became a monk, his monastic name became John.
Saint John-Tornike, pray for us!

I really like the how you added the Georgian and Greek lyrics! You know, you should definitely try to do some Music about Western Rome. Like maybe Majorian or maybe the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains!
I want this song on Spotify 😢❤🇬🇪
YES
Beautiful as always. 🔥 Keep it up.
As Georgian i want to thank you ❤
Big fan of georgian history and music, thanks for this
This is fairytale music! Much ❤from Romania to our orthodox brothers. Georgia's place is the european familly. Soon we will be united🎉

Georgian brothers 🇪🇸🫂🇬🇪
The two Iberias
Song In Greek and Georgian about a Georgian man who saved an Armenian Emperor of Greek speaking Empire
Man who saved roman empire
@Constantine235 he was armenian vs another armenian dynasty (Cometopuli) so his Conquest of Bulgar Empire is not that impressive, when Krum's dynasty collapsed it was the real end of the empire
Great work! Magical style.
as a maronite catholic,i adore this chant.
all love to our orthodox brothers in christ🙏🏻❤️✝️.
Oh wow, never expected this to drop but this is epic, never thought that Greek and Georgian would sound good together
I have realized that this music same as Turkeys Black sea region music :) So People who lives in Karadeniz in Turkey can be Georgian descendant or the opposite. What a nice culture exchange.
Byzantine music with georgian lyrics? this works very well!🇦🇿♥️🇬🇷🇬🇪
(my bad, forgot to mention georgian music!)
I hear also Greek language. " και τα βουνα τραγουδουν " = and the mountains sing
Compised by Iranian musician
@@moda1496who lives in Canada, Farya is the real mr.worldwide!
More like Georgian music with Georgian and greek words. He uses Georgian melodies.
What a beautiful message. Even as an atheist it touches me deeply.
I've been listening to you since you started making your first songs, and as a Georgian I like you more, even though you were also my chosen one before because of the music of Byzantium
Tornike ErisTavi is the main reason why I like my name so much, Tornike!
i loved the monaspa in the background detailed work
Thank you very much king
Love the bagpipes
Hay , why dont you make a song about fall of Smederevo, last standing city of ortodox Europe. Btw, i trully respect your work, BBBB
Nice mixture of Kolkhian (West Georgian) and Iberian (East Georgian) music. And some sentences were in Greek. I believe that the music of Ajaria in Georgia and the Eastern coast of the Black Sea in Turkey have Byzantine roots. Was Sasnid music also similar to Byzantine music? Considering the instruments we know of and contemporaneity, they may have been similar? Of course, it may have been different from region to region. I once listened to a Syriac Orthodox prayer. A non-native West European would have labeled it as Islamic or oriental.
Most of the lyrics are in Greek actually, only few sentences are in Georgian but he synchronizes the two languages so well I thought I was listening to Georgian with thick accent before I paid close attention.
დიდება საქართველოს და ქართველი ხალხის ძლიერებას 🤚🏻🖤
Fantastic stuff! I wonder if youll ever do a traditional Lithuanian or Belarusian song. Even if you dont, your contributions to Eastern European/Eurasian folk are astounding
