Thermopylae 480 BC - Epic Symphony

Music & vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn’t reconstructed historical music, it’s modern music that uses aspects of Ancient Greek music and modern Iranian music.
Notes on some of the chapters:
“The Spartans - Leonidas” uses the Enharmonic modes of Ancient Greek music, which was defined by usage of microtonal intervals. The orchestration and arrangement heard here is largely historically compatible, and may give an accurate enough insight into the sounds of Ancient Greek music. The instruments heard for the Greeks are a frame drum, Ancient Greek lyres, and a basic rural flute; as well as the aulos and bagpipes. Modern Greek instruments like the bouzouki also join in later in the symphony. The flute melody is in the first tetrachord of the Lydian Chromatic mode, another of the three variants of Ancient Greek modality: Enharmonic, Chromatic and Diatonic.
The Iranian themes utilise the vast modal repertoire of Iranian music, called the dastgāh system today, which is related to the broader maqam system also used in modern Greece. The Achaemenids’ leitmotif and Xerxes’ leitmotifs are based on medieval variants of the Segāh mode that I found in the works of Safi-ad-Din and early Safavid-era music theorists. The Iranian instrumentation consists of a modern orchestra played in a typical Middle-Eastern fashion, a tar, setar, tanbour, qanun, oud, ney flute, santour, and daf and tombak drums. The lyrics to the chapter “the Empire” are Achaemenid-era writings written down in the Behistun inscriptions.
The lyrics heard in Leonidas Gathers the 7000 are an Ancient Greek paean written by Aeschylus, for his play “The Persians.” The pronunciation I used for the Ancient Greek lyrics is Modern Greek, not reconstructed historical pronunciation.

4:25 This perfectly portrays the image one might have about the Achaemenids (and probably all historical Iranian empires): it's an incomparable majesty, a majesty that doesn't even provoke fear or violence because it's so incredibly rich and powerful that it doesn't even care. It does not sound like a military march of an army so numerous as Xerxes'; it just sounds kingly, jovial, and festive. Truly a masterpiece.

One thing I find interesting about these battle symphonies is that the side which lost seems to get more representation through their leitmorfs. Like Nineveh also (I may be wrong) was tilted slightly towards the Sassanids, and this one is even more towards the Greeks. I find this to be quite a nice way of doing these symphonies, and I appreciate the work that goes into respecting both participants. They sound amazing either way.

@Flozone1 Жыл бұрын

Well the Greeks lost, but the heroic defeat of the Greeks is in all popular media more embellished than the victory of the Persians. After all if the Persians would have just crushed them it wouldn't have been a big thing to do, they had the larger army and were at the height of their power. The Greeks lost the battle, but won the war ultimately and a century later they completely won over the Persians. So everything after that is in the West told from the Greek perspective anyway.

@draconariusa7v421 Жыл бұрын

I thought it was tilted depending on where the battles took place. In Nineveh the sassanids get slightly more representation because the battle took place in their territory. Same applies here since the battle was fought on greek soil.

"The Spartans - Leonidas" is among my favorite parts because it shows how ancient greece, above all else, was still Greece. It invokes memories of all my vacations to Greece over my life (basically once a year) and conjures an image of the Greek lands. The Mediterranean shrub, the humid summer air, the smells and sights of the beautiful Aegean. And then, that flute, that phenomenal flute ignites the undyingly stubborn and fierce fire at the heart of Sparta in the heart of the listener. It all feels so ancient, with the Lydian mode and all, but the images it conjures in ones soul are truly as timeless as Greece itself, and only a person who's been to Greece (as I know Farya has) can really invoke it as beautifully as that section does.

Man this was certainly a thing. You communicate history through emotion very well. Like how last stand with all its bombastic, fast paced tempo begun with a sad little snippet, just to convey I think the grim reality of the word last next to stand. Then the empire triumphs with an even greater climax. Xerxes fulfilling his ancestral legacy, going against the best warriors the ancient world had to offer, being one step closer to his mission. And all that climax, all that intensity, to be suddenly and jarringly interrupted by.......silence. silence as the persians gaze upon the other side of the battlefield, upon the broken spears, bloodied fists and shattered teeth. Spartans lying finally in peace. And a lone shepherd on the mountains above, plays a tune with his askaulos. So freaking emotional man

Farya, i'm at a loss of words. This is awesome! I especially liked the transfer from ''Thermopylae'' to ''the first battle'', way more epic then the 300 OST's!

Excellent as always.. By the way, the letter Λ on the Spartan shields derives from the name of the region in which the city-state of Sparta was located, ΛΑΚΕΔΑΙΜΟΝΑ (LAKEDEMONA).

I was so sidetracked with stuff I've been doing lately that I've missed maybe two weeks worth of your content. So I'll quickly fix that using this latest upload as a springboard. Absolutely killing the game, Farya, what a delight it is to have you on this platform.

Esta increíble, el concepto me seduce y no dejo de tararear los ritmos más influyentes - que son todos- me transporta a las lecturas de historia, documentales y conferencias sobre la historia del antiguo Mediterráneo y el fascinante Medio Oriente.

Very emotional... Thermopylae (Marathon and Salamina too) was not only a battle of humans. We had the ...meeting of two diferrent civilizations in the battlefield. According to the dialectic of Heraclitus ( ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ ΠΑΤΗΡ ΠΑΝΤΩΝ = Father of all is war), two opposites collide, then unite and create a new composition. The "marriage" and mixing of the three cultures was promoted by Alexander a hundred years later. Alexander was born and bred as a Greek, ruled and married as a Persian, and died as an Egyptian (Ηis body became a mummy !) For this reason we call him "The Great" and not so much for his successes in battle. He also tried to open the Gates of India, but death defeated him... But he brought to the West with the scientists and philosophers who followed his campaign, enough of the knowledge and wisdom of the East.
