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.
I thought the first one was fine, but the fact that you went out of your way to change the song, altering the flow of the music just for the sake of historical accuracy is impressive and speaks volumes of your integrity and dedication to immersion. You've earned my respect.
I am a Russian, a Grecophile, I respect and revere the Greek language, culture, people, traditions, religion, history, music... I love Greece very much! Είμαι ρωσική, Ελληνόφιλος, σέβομαι και σέβομαι την ελληνική γλώσσα, τον πολιτισμό, τους ανθρώπους, τις παραδόσεις, τη θρησκεία, την ιστορία, τη μουσική... Αγαπώ πολύ την Ελλάδα! 🇷🇺🤝🇬🇷
I'm totally imagining this as either the opening titles, or end titles, of some Byzantine Epic film, right after the Emperor gets crowned at the end (gives me chills just thinking about it) or as the menu of an epic Byzantine-themed video game.
I am a second generation overseas born Greek, can't really understand all of it, but love and feeling it in my soul . God bless those who and all who listening ✝️. 🌍🌎🐊🌴🐸🐍
Thank you for yet another masterpiece, Farya :) I absolutely love your Byzantine music! That's not to say that your other tracks are bad-they are just as incredible!-but your Byzantine tracks in particular speak to me on another level. Here's hoping you will keep making them :)
There is no "mix" between these two. The Byzantine music is the evolution of ancient Greek music. Same goes for modern Greek music where you can catch the byzantine style even in Skyladika.
@@ΒάγγοςΑμάραντος "Byzantine" music is actually a mix between Syrian, Jewish, Greek and Perian melodies. In a sense, it is "Hellenistic". Music of the later Roman Empire of the eastern provinces.
I absolutely love your music as well as the feeling of authenticity I get from every composition of every different region! You have a truly great talent and feeling for the spirit of the music of all those different regions, countries, and time periods! Keep up the great work! Respect and greetings from Bulgaria!
This is truly epic. I found your music 100% randomly and recognised cause I downloaded a mod for Rome 2 which adds these tracks in the game. Wonderful 👍
Славьте Бога за дела Его великие, за величие Его, всё превосходящее, славьте! 3 Славьте Его со звуком рогов, играя на арфах и лирах, славьте Его! 4 Славьте Его с тимпаном и в хороводе, на струнах и флейтах славьте Его! 5 Славьте Его, играя на звучных кимвалах, славьте Его на кимвалах звенящих! 6 Всё дышащее ГОСПОДА1 да славит! Аллилуйя! Псалтирь 150 псалом
Thank you for good music! When I playing Medieval total war 2 for Byzantine for Aleksei Komnin and Konin's dynasty, I always listen your epic music on background. If i was a film or serial director, I would call you as a composer.
@@faryafaraji wow can you upload these medieval 2 files, i would like to have these tracks too ..also thanks for creating this version of the polychronion i was looking for it for long time
@@wiseguygr Actually it's really is to swap the files yourself: just download my songs into mp3 files and then go into the Medieval 2 folder on your computer. You'll find a folder called "music" and then sub-folders for the campaign music, battle music, etc. So if you want this song as a battle song for example, literally just copy paste one of the names of the battle file songs, rename Polychronion with that name, then copy and paste it in the battle music folder. It'll replace the original song in the game, and will play in its stead :p

I’ve been listening to these while I clean up from Hurricane Ian. We had 5 feet of water and it really changed my world views. I’m just trying to extract some sort of wisdom from all of this tragedy and I always go back to history for perspective.
Much like a few others here I prefer your original version, and am happy that you've managed to find it again. I understand why you reuploaded it and respect your adherence to Greek/Byzantine singing tradition, but the new singing sounds too dissonant when put together with the instruments. They just don't _fit_ together, if you know what I mean. Otherwise, mad respect to you and your work Farya. You're a very good composer/singer and I wish you all the best.
They called it Romaeic during the Middle Ages, which means Roman. To the eastern Romans, "Hellenic" language was Attic Greek, while the vulgar Greek language was known as "Roman".
"O sages standing in God's holy fire As in the gold mosaic of a wall, Come from the holy fire, perne in a gyre, And be the singing-masters of my soul. Consume my heart away; sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is; and gather me Into the artifice of eternity." Yeats
Very nice production. Each time, when I hear this masterpiece, I get realised in a strange way that the Vladimir I, appeared as a Byzantinan King on the photo with different light effect, reminds me of a Turkish actor Uğur Polat in his young best years (not his actual physical appearance!). Probably Basileos I., also looked indeed due to primitive frescoes in that way. So I think that the concept of reincarnation makes a really big sense in due to the explained phenomena and meaning of life.

My friend, this one sounds vastly better. I find semblance to genuine Orthodox chants in it. Your music would do the Romans proud.

As a Turk love the rhytym and instruments that are used . Absolutely it took me away to that age.
Love Greece
As half Assyrian/half Persian this song is so emotional

I liked the first version more to be honest, there was more rhytm to it but this is good as well.
The begging of this one is great! The first version is also good but it's always better to have a choice

Song so fire it burned down the Arab fleet 🔥
I just found this channel and I'm so glad I did! I already listened to the whole byzantine playlist and I want more right now.
I am impressed with this new version. It feels better that it has more authentic accentuation even though the rhythm is different
I have no words….off the scale beautiful…skilful, genius…wow!

Interesting, I'm hearing the intro of Galani Galaziani (Greek: Γαλανή γαλαζιανή) starting at 1:24.
You’re the first to notice! I always use real Greek melodies as a basis so the music is authentic, and this one was exactly Galani Galaziani :)
@@faryafaraji I listened to enough Greek songs to recognize that motif!
Pls do more like this and Hikanatoi those two are my favourites very talented man keep it up ⚜
