Tornike the Georgian - Epic Byzantine Music
Vložit

- 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. - Hudba

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.

I'm Georgian proud of this. GOD save all Christians in the world ✝️☦️❤️🇬🇪🇬🇷
Bravo Aghios Tornikios☦️ 🇬🇷♥️🇬🇪 the Greek people are so grateful to have had such a great commander and saint among us who founded the Iviron monastery at Mount Athos. Orthodox Christian Brotherhood☦️☦️☦️
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
One of the most unique culture and nation. Georgians are our neighbors very well known by great hospitality. Lots of love to you guys from Turkey. Sakartvelos Gaumarjos!❤❤❤

As a Georgian, I'm so thankful and proud that you made a music to honour our history and sang so beautifully too with zero mistakes. Amazing composition.
why does it sound like adjaruli?
@@kwaks9486Because he uses that melody: "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."
I have to admit, I'm not too knowledge with Georgian History, but I have seen many INCREDIBLE dancing videos of that nation's people, so I can certainly imagine an extremely proud History
I salute you as a Karapapak from Georgia who migrated to Kars Turkey. Hope we see Georgia live good days.
As a Georgian of Byzantine origin (Pontus), I've got to say that this is great!

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!
as georgian I’m very proud that we have such a great general who save basil II
@ahmedrivera-pr9qg No, the Byzantines did not use slave soldiers although they did have slaves(legal and illegal) and a slave trade.
The Empire relied on Thematic(semi professional), Tagmatic(professional), Akratai(local border guards) and foreign Mercenary or Allied Troops for its armed forces.
@ahmedrivera-pr9qgno georgians and armenians in byzantine army were locals who lived in byzantium and decided to join the byzantine army they weren’t forced to do so
@ahmedrivera-pr9qg
We aren't monsters like the Muslims, ha!
Everyone in the Balkans joined in to help the Empire at one point.

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!

My favourite piece of yours!
Great work! Magical style.
Seriously amazing!
Didn’t realize Farya would have a surprise waiting for me as I pulled into the driveway, I dig it
Once again, IMMACULATE! ❤
You should do more Georgian songs, amazing work friend!
Crazy how you pump out these amazing songs so often, and you nail the languages too!
By the way, you should upload more of those video essays, they're very knowledgable and contain enough comedy and whatnot to keep my terrible attention span still hooked.
Listening a Greek song about a Georgian hero is magical🇮🇪🤝🏻🇬🇪🇬🇷
Awesome work!!! Nice fusion you did there blending the Hellenic with the Caucasian!! Excellent vocals and instrumentation, as always, and catchy melody.
Thank you very much!
