The Safavids - Epic Music
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 03. 2024
- Music by Farya Faraji, including improvisations by Soheil Saadat and Nayan Sahihi. Duduk by @AliFarbodnia setar and tar by Siavosh Karami, tanboor by Soheil Saadat, vocals by Ali Reza Berenjan and Farya Faraji, and kamanche by Nayan Sahihi.
Please note that this isn't reconstructed era music, this is modern Iranian and Azerbaijani music with a historical theme.
I wanted to delve into the rich subject of the Safavid dynasty which is commonly seen as the beginning of modern Iranian history, and whose lasting effects include the conversion of Iran to a Shiite Muslim country, and its consolidation as one of the major gunpowder-based powers in the region. The Safavids were a Turkic speaking dynasty whose dialect was an early form of the modern Azerbaijani language. They came to power in 16th century Iran under the rule of Shah Ismail I.
Ismail I was a renowned poet under the pen name of Khatayi. As the leader of the Qizilbash, a faction of Shiite, Turkic Sufi militant group, he took power in Iran, and solidified it as the eastern, Shiite adversary of the Sunni Ottoman empire for centuries to come.
The music is primarily based in the common, shared musical heritage of Iranian and Azerbaijani musical forms, with the tar and kamanche being central in both traditions. An Iranian setar and tanbour also accompany the piece, as well as a duduk, an instrument called the mey by Azerbaijanis, and commonly played both in Azerbaijan as well by the Azeris of Iran. A Sufi aesthetic also shapes the central component of the music's rhythm, with the rythmic breaths being typical of Zikr: Sufi musical gatherings were rhythm is used to induce the mystics into a trance believed to bring them closer to the divine. The kurdish tanboor adds to the mystical, Sufi aesthetic of the song, being closely associated with Kurdish Sufis.
The main melody is in the mode of Isfahan, equivalent to the Western harmonic minor, with the kamanche improv in the middle by Nayan Sahihi being in Segah.
The lyrics are in the Azerbaijani and Persian languages.
Azerbaijani lyrics:
Allah Allah din gaziler
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Karşu gelün secde kılun
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Uçmakta tuti kuşuyam
Ağır leşker er başıyam
Men sufiler yoldaşıyam
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Ne yerd'ekersen biterim
Handa çağırsan yeterim
Sufiler elin dutarım
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Mansur ile darda idim
Halil ile narda idim
Musa ile Tur'da idim
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Tahkıyk ile şahı tanun
Nevruz edin şaha yetün
Hey gaziler secde kılun
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Kırmızı taclu boz atlu
Ağır leşkeri nisbetlü
Yusuf Peygamber sıfatlu
Gaziler deyin şah menem
Hatai'yem al atluyam

Persian lyrics:
Manam Jamshid, manam Khosrow,
Manam Rostam o Fereydunam,
Name Ali'st, bar labanam,
Pir-e davazda emamam,
Sharabe man, khoone Yazid,
Cho Rostam khoone div ra pashid,
Manam shahe Ghezelbashian,
Manam Shahanshaye Iran
Translation of the Persian text:
I am Jamshid, I am Khosrow,
I am Rostam and Fereydun,
The name of Ali is on my lips,
I am the Pir of the Twelve Imams,
My wine is the blood of Yazid,
As Rostam shed the blood of the div,
I am the King of the Qizilbash,
I am the King of Kings of Iran
The Persian lyrics are sentiments written down by Ismail. Present here is Shiite Islamic imagery; such as the emphasis on the Twelve Imams, a belief specific to Shia Islam which proclaims that succession to the prophet Muhammad is passed every era through a divinely appointed Imam of which there will be twelve, and hostility towards Yazid as a figure of evil due to his killing of Imam Hussein, one of the central figures of Shia Islam. This Shiite Islamic imagery is coupled closely with emphasis on native, pre-Islamic Iranian cultural elements such as the Zoroastrian mythology of Rostam, Jamshid, Fereydun, etc, which remain to this day central to Iranian identity.
This shows the highly multidimensional nature of the Safavid Empire as an Iranian empire where native, pre-Islamic Iranian identity played a fundamental part in its identity, ruled by a Turkic speaking dynasty, and shaped by a newly consolidated Shia Islam that would come to define Iran in opposition to much of the rest of the Islamic world.
The Azerbaijani lyrics are a poem by Shah Ismail himself, however as with all poems of the era, an English translation is very difficult to offer, so I would rather prefer that someone with a better grasp of Azerbaijani than me write down the translation. The general gist of the poem is Ismail's affirmation of himself as the king, representative of the Imams and defender of the ideals of Sufism, the Qizilbash, and Shiite Islam. - Hudba

someone told me Old AZERRI was aPersian Language before becoming a Turkic one
@@KincadeCeltoSlav Old Azeri is a distinct language from Azerbaijani. Old Azeri was an Iranic language spoken in today's Iranian Azerbaijan, whilst Azerbaijani is a Turkic language that entered the region later with the arrival of the Turkic peoples.
I must also add that the phrase a "Persian language" is incorrect. Old Azeri wasn't a form of Persian but a distinct Iranic language of its own.
In terms of music like in certain instruments or anything else( idk much about musical terminology) was there contributions that the Turkic brought to the Iranian music?
@@johnlopez9014 For the most part it must he understood that the Turkic peoples of the Middle-East came all the way from further east in Asia. They assimilated into the musical cultures already present in the regions they settled, so it's much more of a case of Anatolian Turkish being Greek-influenced and Azerbaijani music being Iranian-influenced than the opposite.
That said, contributions in the form of instruments must have happened. The most plausible one is the kamanche. Bowed instruments are universally accepted as having entered the western parts of Eurasia in the early Middle-Ages from the far east where they originated, so it's very plausible the Turkic nomads brought the first specimens of bowed instruments to Iran.
@@faryafaraji guess I’m going to b in a google rabbit hole for bowed instruments 😅 see y’all in the next 4 weeks

@@mikayil1 he was ethnically Azerbaijani and culturally Iranian (and not Persian) which isn't surprising or a new finding. Prior to today's nation-states in middle east, all those realms coexisted under the umbrella of "the greater Iran" (Ērānšahr) which was a concept that even though politically ended after the fall of Sassanids, its cultural influences lasted for millennia. Take Nowruz for example - If Shahanshah Ismail's court celebrated Nowruz empire-wide, one can't really say he's solely one or the other.

As a huge fan of your works from Azerbaijan I sincerely thank you for this magnificient piece. You're a great person Farya.
Finally a Shah Ismail project from Farya Faraji! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time and it was great. Shah Ismail is a very interesting character. A gnosticism disguised as leadership, poetry, philosophy and Shia. All of them are united in a single body as Shah Ismail. Khatai expressed it. I always saw him as the eastern version of the western philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius. Khatai (Shah Ismael) Those who read the secret and message in his poems will understand what I mean. He is both a good leader, an Iranian revolutionary and the best poet in Turkish history. He is the greatest of the 7 Great Poets in turkish literature.
Before the earth and the sky existed, I existed
I was a rotating compass emerging from a single grain of ore
I turned this substance into water, it covered the entire universe
I was the one who created the jinn and man, the earth and the sky.
I disguised myself as Adam, but no one learned my secret.
I have already been living in that house of God for a long time.
Since then I knew his (God's) secret that he was my
That's why I was a secret within a secret with God
O Khatai, I have undoubtedly known and recognized the Truth.
That's why I denied what he created...
In this comment of yours, You said everything that I myself thought about Shah Ismail and this masterpiece. I can only say: perfect. Selam brother.

Thank you and your friends for this piece Farya Faraji 👏👏👏
love you bro❤🔥
He wasn't actually a turk, if he was he would look asian and turkic like teymoor lang
Greetings brother. His grandmother was a Greek. His ancestors were a mix of Greek, Kurd, Georgian, Persian, and Azerbaijani. Most important of all, he styled himself an Iranian king of Iranzamin. His line claimed descent from the Sassanids.
@@amirseighali856 oh really so Tajiks aren't İranian folk too since they have Asian looking? Stop this primary school logic. Timur's Turkic branch was different than ours. Turk name is like Slav term. Croatia, Montenegro,Serbia Poland and Russia all Slavic yet don't look like a lot. We're Turk, Oguzh Turk never looked Asian much yet Timur's ancestors were from Gengishid line. Furthermore Turks since the beginning established great empires and that's pretty normal for us to have diverse gene trees.
@@kavehofraghae1816 i think the important question we should all ask ourselves is that does it matter? i mean even if he wasnt a turk directly probably one of his grandfathers or grandmothers were, the modern facism didnt exsist back then so interracial marrige was a thing and it was countries not races that defined people

The mighty Safavids of Iran 🇮🇷
The ruling class in Safavid Iran was divided into Turkish horsemen and soldiers ("men of the sword") and Persian administrators ("men of the pen"). Throughout the Safavid period these two groups were in conflict. The Iranians thought the Turks coarse and uncouth, lacking any appreciation for poetry and the other fine arts. The Turks, on the other hand, looked down on the Persians as effete and unable to pacify and protect their own country. This conflict is said by one recent commentator to have been a major cause for the collapse of the regime. The Safavid emperors were never able to integrate the two types into a coherent, unified governing system.”

Great music as always, the Safavids are super fascinating to me with the speed at which they were able to reconquer a subjugated Iran. I really don't know how you're able to pump out the sheer volume and quality of music that you do.
Farya! The part that is Persian lyrics gave me goosebumps. The way the mythology of Rostam was combined with the story of Imam Ali and Yazid. It just perfectly encapsulated the soul of the modern era of Iran. And the Sufi breathing! Bro, I tell everyone I know about your work.
A man who follows AP and Farya Faraji.. Gotta be friended with you dude. There's also an Iranian guy Nebi Asli. Follow him too
@TurgayHul Thanks Turgay.
I follow AP but probably for different reasons than most people. Though his early stuff had a lot of truth, I don't agree with everything he says because he oversimplifies - especially recently when he talks about politics and not religion. When he gets into politics, he's both stepping outside of his own domain and insincere.
Anyway, still down to be friends, man!
@@ahpacific I agree most of his sayings and comments and Islamic exposing ( especially the his first three years' content was amazing) yet you're right there're also times I strongly disagree with him. ( Especially giving Anatolia back to Greeks and Kurds :D comment was soo arrogant) I saw your pre lslamic Iran praise and thought you're also an anti Islamists. That's why I suggested Nebi Asli another ex Muslim channel by a Persian and his content much better than AP's one.
@TurgayHul I definitely prefer Iran to be Zorastraian but I don't consider myself "anti-Islamist" because even though I personally dislike many aspects of it, there are really good people that are Muslim that I respect if that makes sense... and, for some people, it seems to make their lives better than it would be otherwise.
So I prefer "Philosophically Zorastrian" as a way to describe myself.
@@ahpacific " Anti Islamists" is not hating Muslims. My grand grandfather was a devoted Muslim, he didn't marry multiple women and he was a hardworking man. I seen him in his late 80's and I don't hate him. The point is he wasn't a truly Muslim and didn't even know Mohammeds unethical past. He didn't know Islamic history either. He was just a good man called himself a Muslims but wasn't really one tho. Even his name wasn't Arabic but Turkic. It's like communist college students call themselves communist and go MacDonalds. I don't hate them. I hate the Islam's basics, communist basics. I hate the results they have caused. It's the simplest way I could explain. I talk and talked many Iranian. Didn't even met one who doesn't tryna get out of Iran. Can you say it has nothing to do with Islam? Jesus's personality and character is clear, also the Mohammad's. And this clearly affected the religion they've brought to the world. Mohammad was a wicked man and that's why today Islam even has problem with the simplest daily life basics. Like womens hair, marriage age, secularism , daily clothes, freedom of speech and belief. Even with the simplest ones Islam can't really adapt itself and those who claim to be adapted are like " communist" Apple watch users.

Awesome 🔥
😮 favorited!
It's a pretty impressive work. Thanks.
Amazing! Please make more Iranian history music! I love it!!
His coin said enough, don't claim the persian kings who claim themself as Iranians. Turks are Iranic. Throughout history your culture has been influenced and created by Persian. But believe what you want to believe.

Litterly me two days ago : man i wish farya would do a song about safavids
farya :
( amazing work man , as always , you're truly a glory to iran❤️❤️ )
از تبریز و از ملت عزیز ما به فریا سلامت و برکت میریسونیم !Çox Güzel 😍
Farya you made my dream and my day come true thanks alot
I've been waiting for a Safavid song for so long! Great work.
Dear Farya Faraji, thank you for all your music, symphonies connected to Iranian history. It fascinates me, how you are able to bring this music pieces to life that as an outsider living in 2024 can imagine the past, and the longing, the sadness, the glory, and more emotions of a Shah with his followers to consolidate a religion, and Empire. I love your music with history themes so much, l am listening every day to different periodic pieces, and get deep touched by them, and learn a lot too. You have a great gift to produce this music. Thank you, great respect from Judy, Melbourne, Australia.
I thought we would get celtic music for a whole week straight but here we are, this ones gonna be good(like all of them)
God this is so beautiful
Thank you so much for this!
Each song you play comes with a cultural and history lesson 🖤
awesome ...
One word, glorious!
This is emazing
THIS IS AWSOME!!!! MANAM SHAHENSAHI IRAN

We Iranians are proud of you
Thank you for keeping the history of Iran alive
Safavids were Azerbaijani Turks. They were not Persian

Wonderful masterpiece of this once great time
I enjoyed so much thanks Farya❤️❤️❤️
I see some people arguing if Ismail was Iranian or not.
first of all , what we know as Nation-State is a modern term.
Iran ( previously Eranshahr) has so many ethnic groups. Kurds , Turks , Lurs , Baloch, Arabs, Persians etc.
( btw that's why Reza Shah asked westerners to call us Iran not Persia!)
yes he was Turk( maybe with Kurdish roots) but in a larger scale he was an Iranian.
It's not strange that from time to time some ethnics has ruled Iran ( as you see later on with Zands)
Kings and queens were always mixed, and can't be categorize into a single ethnic
Khoob bud, baba! :)
Bellissima canzone sono contento che tra le centinaia di canzoni che ai fatto una sia propio dei safavidi. un tuo fan italiano
It's cool! I hope you make a Kurdish epic music.
Super belle collaboration entre plein d'artistes passionnés. Bien fier de toi et du coeur que tu mets dans ton travaille. Lâche pas :)
Merci mon homme!
What a banger!
❤This song has such a beautiful and deep sound, being one of the strongest compositions I've ever heard on the channel. Congratulations to all the composers of this work of art.❤
my mom loves your music and also the description you wrote !
When will they be added to Spotify Chagatai and this?
Heya Farya, I posted a similar question on another of your videos some time ago, but I shall ask again just to be sure: What are your terms of use and to which capacity we can include your work in creative projects?
Also fantastic work, as always.

I am not great with our old literary language, but I will try to provide accurate translation of the part in Azerbaijani here.
Some terms and definitions:
Ğazi, Qazi - a zealous fighter, religuous warrior and a victor at that. Shah İsmayıl being very devote himself, and taking it as a source of great pride and tying his military honor to his branch of Islam, considered himself and his warrior elites Qazis.
Tuti quş/bird - literally, a parrot. But in old Azerbaijani and Iranian poetry sometimes revered as a sweet-tongue, due to the bird's capabilities for human speech replication.
Şah(Shah) - the King in İranian tradition, just in case anyone here didn't know already.
Khatai - a famous alias of Shah Ismail, signifying "The one who committed the sin", adopted by himself, as throughout his reign and conquests among what he committed were several acts considered heinous.

Thanks Man
Thank you for translating it. Really wanted to know What does it say. Irandan Selamlar!
Kardeşim "uçmaq" Türkçe 'de "cennet" demektir. Çevirinin diğer kısımlarını kontrol edemedim lakin bu bilgiyi paylaşmak istedim.
uçmak-uçmaq-uçmağ gidilen yer(ruhların gittiği) manasına gelmektedir. Öz Türkçe bir kelimedir.
"tuti-dudu" kuşu papağan manasına gelmektedir. Lakin tasavvufi anlamı daha derindir. Ruh insanın göğsünde bir kuş olarak tasvir edilmiştir, bu sebepten dolayı "Ruh" konuşabilen bir kuş olarak düşünülmüş ve Tuti kuşu (Türkiye Türkçesi ile dudu kuşu) denilmiştir.

I got this reccomended under 30 seconds of release. So hurray!
The duduk has a special place in my heart! Beautifully textured piece, love it
Really good.
I consider Farya as a teacher for me. Each times he releases a song about a subject I don't know, I can't stop digging internet to find information about it. This song about the Safavid Dynasty makes me understood a bit better Shia Islam, but also Sufism, and the fascinating history of that part of the world. And i thank him for that.
Brother, you are a fellow countryman, how many songs and music did you write about the different dynasties of Iran. I am from Iran, I am Izeh or the same as Anshan
Greatttt
Absolutely Glorious Farya 🙏🇷🇴
First Darius, then Cyrus, followed by Khosrow; So now Ismail...
Well, next in line is Nadir Shah Afshar. I will look forward to your composition dedicated to this extraordinary person.
The breathing underlying everything is way too cool
sounds like gay sex
thanks

This is a beautiful piece, while it is modern take it can still teleport you to a period in a culture. Music is the universal language, we should learn what we can from these cultures before they are lost to history.
Early modern Iran in general and the Safavid era in particular are topics I should definitely be reading up on more.
perfect
Stunning 😍🥰😻🤩
Bravo maestro!!! ❤
Pardon my French, but: FUCKING AMAZING. Another whopping masterpiece. Interestingly enough, this came at just the right time as I'm getting more and more into Iranian music. Awesome vocals and Instrumentation from all involved!
Just sharing.
I'm a Malaysian. I always new I got some middle eastern blood in my veins. I assumed I had Yemeni Arab blood since most middle eastern descend in Malaysia came from Yemen.
But I always fond of Iran and Central Asian culture. Not Arabs.
So I did get serious about my middle eastern descend through my mother. My mom always said my great grandfather's grandfather wore pure red turbans. I cross checked with a friend of mine who active in Sufism of Malaysia. He said the only red turban sufis in Perak (state in Malaysia) are Qizilbalshi. Not to mentioned some my Middle Eastern and Pakistani friend said I look like Central Asian rather Southeast Asian.
Turns out I had Turkic-Iranian blood. Plus coming from Qizilbalshi tribe which related to the Safavids making this track resonates more to me.
The thing is my state, Perak have a lot of Iranian influence within the royal system and culture. Still thinking, why my state have connection with Iran .
