Music by Farya Faraji, based on melodic folk motifs from Greece. I was inspired to write an immersive piece of music as close as possible to historical practices of Ancient Greece-please keep in mind that this isn’t meant to be entirely historically accurate music from Ancient Greece, although it’s closer to realistic compared to some of my more creative pieces. The instruments are all from the soundscape of Ancient Greece: the aulos, the lyre, and a mantoura-the latter is a simple reed instrument from Crete, and such instruments are attested in Ancient Greece. I based this on motifs found across Crete, the Cyclades and Thrace, since they are the modern day regions that still use such reed instruments like in Ancient Greece, and therefore their sound is our best bet, in my opinion, at reverse-engineering the most probable usage of these instruments throughout the Greek world, given that they were ubiquitous throughout Greece back then. The melody is possible given what we know of the historical practice, with the usage of the Phrygian mode (what we call today the Dorian mode), although it’s not certain how folk melodies for dances were built, and whether they were ornamented in such a way especially before the Roman era, were ornamentation becomes more increasingly used. Most of the creative aspect on my part lies in two aspects: the strumming of the lyre to provide a constant drone constituted of the tonic and it’s lower perfect fourth-strumming was a major part of lyre playing in Greece, however it seemed to have been melodic strumming. The sort of drone strumming I added to support the melody is entirely speculative, however it is based on common practice of heterophonic traditions of today, like in modern Greek traditional music, where an instrument will strum the tonic repeatedly as a steady drone. While this practice isn’t directly attested in Ancient Greek music, I consider it compatible with the heterophonic nature of this tradition, whose monophonic aspect is often exagerated.
A far more creative and less plausible aspect however is the usage of harmony-I switched the drone to the subtonic in moments of cadence, and also added a lower perfect fourth to the main drone. While far more creative in this aspect, the research of some specialists like Stefen Hagel suggests a far more prevalent use of harmony than usually believed. If harmony were to exist within the largely heterophonic and melodic framework of Ancient Greek music, I believe it would have come in the form the absolute simplest forms such as those found in the Cyclades or Thrace on which I based the harmonic aspects of this piece, where the lower perfect fourth sounded in unison with the tonic as well as cadence-ornamenting subtonic use is prevalent. Once again, the harmony I’ve included as well as the drone-strumming are not meant to indicate my belief of their presence in Ancient Greek music, but are rather my way of showing that there would have been different compositional techniques accompanying the melody beyond the pure monophony that we are often told Ancient Greek music functionned with-strumming of the tonic to produce a drone and very simple harmony may have well constituted the palette of this tradition, which I tried conveying here.

The instruments you hear in this composition were once used all across Greece 2500 years ago. I used Cretan, Cycladic and Thracian traditions that still use these instruments to get some idea of how Ancient Greeks across the Greek world would have used them. It seemed wiser to me to simulate Peleponesian use of reed instruments like the mantouras by using extant tradition rather than using only my creativity. I think we associate the use of these reed instruments with specific regions of Greece like Thrace and Crete today, but they were universal throughout Ancient Greece back then, and we know Spartans used them too :)

Totally agree that the two regions don't share a whole lot musically today but don't forget that the Dorians migrated to the Peloponnese and Crete during the Mycenaean period. Sparta and Crete shared the Doric dialect and you can look up Lato, close to Agios Nikolaos, as an example of one of their colonies on Crete.

@@eho6380 I used recordings from Ancient Greek reconstructionists. My guess is you find this too different from the recordings of Ancient Greek music available on KZbin right now. Most performances on KZbin are of “higher class” musicians like Mesomedes, often very slow, and use principally the lyre and little percussive drives. Little effort yet has been in done in trying to approximate what a folk dance would have sounded like, which is what I’m doing: providing an approximation of a type of Ancient Greek performance that there are very little if no recordings of at all. In other words, it would be like only having heard a specific type of American music, say Black Gospel, and then rejecting other forms of American music like country as being “quite off from American music”. Comparing the Delphic hymns or Mesomedes’ pieces, which is what all reconstructions on KZbin are, to an approximation of a folk dance, and especially believing them to be representative of the entirety of Ancient Greek music misses the mark in that regard. I’d invite you to read my pinned comment to get an idea of the research and historical practices involved in this.

The amount of Hellenic heritage gets downplayed a lot in that region. The influence of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the very Greek Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire on Lebanon and Palestine was insanely strong. Not only did the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic populations call themselves "Roman" (as the Greeks did until the independence movement which was largely supported by philhellenic westerners who tended to have a very low opinion of the ERE) and were considered Greeks by western ethnographers into the 1800s, but a blood protein marker associated with Ancient Macedonians has quite common among Levantine Christians

Farya, if you ever are so inclined to do so, I highly encourage any composition from you of the music from Magna Graecia, the land of my ancestors. I would love to hear either a reconstruction or hear your interpretation of the music of those Hellenized Near Eastern peoples that settled in Southern Italy. (Especially Calabria where my family comes from). We use an ancient drum known in the various dialects as a “tamburreddhu” or tamburello in Italian, that came from North Africa and/or Near East. It hasn’t changed form in millennia and it’s still integral to the music there today.

Merveilleux !!!! On sent l'odeur du thym, de la viande grillée, de l'huile d'olive et du vin acre, et on entend les pas en en rythme et les lances cogner les boucliers ! Excellent travail de reconstitution, très fidèle, des instruments d'époque et des airs d'espaces géographiques identitiques ou proches, et y'a pas mieux !
