Ancient Greek and Roman music Masterpost

As our national epic, the Odyssey, did I'll start from the middle. Please listen to the sound of medieval Greek music and then come back. It's an exercise, I command you!

Middle Ages Greek music is speculated to be "slowed down ancient Greek music"! 😁 So, take notes on that!

Christodoulos Halaris - Anthology of Byzantine Secular Music

(Christodoulos Halaris was a prominent Greek composer, researcher, and musicologist. He focused on secular Byzantine and traditional music, incorporating his extensive research into a solid and singular musical language.)

After your warm-up (and perhaps some confusion) let's get into what you came here to see.

What Ancient Greek and Roman Music Sounded Like - A Beginner's Introduction

Α fantastic introduction by a composer, musician, and researcher who calls himself:

OKAY, OKAY, HE IS FARYA FARAJI, YOU GOT ME.

So, this is going to be another excellent video where he spits facts. He gives a great impression of how ancient Greek and Roman music sounded like.

And no, they didn't sound like the watered-down (north)-eurocentric "ancient Greek music" on youtube videos you find. (who's surprised at this point, after all this Northwestern appropriation) Unless they are made by Farya Faraji because… the man knows his shit (and our shit 😂)

By the way, I called it "watered down", not because I believe western music is lame, but because the performers apply western rules to ancient Greek music, stripping it of all the Heterophonic complexity.

In the video above, you'll learn how the lyre should actually be played!!! And what instruments have been in continuous use in Greece for more than 2.000 years! And see all the ways our ancient and traditional music is more complex than Western music - such as Western music can be more complex than ours in other ways! (as also stated in the video)

And before you ask: Why does ancient Greek and Byzantine/traditional Greek music sound Oriental? Well, that's just your ear and biases and Hollywood stereotypes, my dear friend. See, these sounds are not (just) Oriental! They are originally Greek, too!

Many tunes and the way of singing the West associates today with the Middle East came from the Greek world (where these tunes are still in use, mind you) or other Mediterranean countries. That's not to say that Middle Eastern nations didn't have these scales and twirls for a long time - because they did. That's their ancient music, too.

Please see the video below to make more sense of my ramblings:

The Greco-Roman Influence on Middle-Eastern Music

All of Farya's videos have their sources in the description so make sure to check them out!

Now you can better enjoy the Epitaph of Sekeilos you heard in the first Middle Ages video! You can also listen to another great version by Farya, where he uses the above ancient Greek principles he mentioned in his video. That's why his version actually feels fun to listen to, thank god! (Of course Chalaris also orchestrates the Epitaoh in an excellent way)

Personal commentary: I am happy to share Farya's work online because he put into words why reconstructions of ancient Greek music online don't sound Greek at all. Greeks have a hard time relating to it because... that's not our folk music. They sound boring like Chopin playing piano when he was 3 years old. (But by now you know why! 😉)

Of course, ancient and traditional Greek music are not identical and no one expects them to be. But given our history, our music history, and cultural evolution, we know the sounds of our music - as all people can identify the music of their land and area. I am glad my gut feeling was right and the music wasn't actually that simple. With the complexity of our ancient chants and the plethora of instruments we had in antiquity, there was no excuse for our ancient melodies to be that simple.

If all the woman of the world recorded their dreams for a single week and laid them all end to end, we would recover the last million years of women’s hymns and chants and dances, all of women's art and stories, and medicines, all of women's lost histories. Sing it! Nothing that can be remembered with love, can ever be lost!

10 crowd chants that you need to know

"Holy shit!" - shouted when something shocking happens

"This is awesome!" - a way to tell that the match is entertaining or interesting (or good in any other way)

"You still got it!" - a tribute to older wrestlers

"[Wrestler's name] is gonna kill you!" - originally shouted when Taz was having a match against someone because his opponents were "just another victim" but has since turned into a way to show respect; it's a reference to the idea that the wrestler to whom the chant is being shouted has no chance against the other wrestler

"E-C-DUB!" - a tribute to ECW and/or a way to show interest and appreciation towards the match when it either took place in ECW, or if one (or more) of the wrestlers used to wrestler in ECW

"Boo/Yeah!" - shouted while wrestlers are exchanging blows

"What!" - shouted during a heel's promo as a way to show disrespect

"You suck!" -shouted to heels as a way to show disrespect

"Boring!" - shouted when the match isn't interesting

"Na na na na hey hey goodbye!" - shouted when someone gets fired or ejected from ringside

La mélancolie Berce de doux chants Mon coeur qui s’oublie Aux soleils couchants.

Paul Verlaine, Poèmes saturniens

[cheminer-poesie-cressant]

Vos chants sont des appels de midi sans soleil, sommet d'un merveilleux possible. Vous donnez des occasions pour voir l'invisible, le sommet du jour, sans ombre ni limite. Vos chants me renvoient à mes soleils qui un jour ont brûlé mes douleurs, à d'autres jours peut-être rêvés où se jouaient des tournois de lumière sur des places chaudes et désertes, ces jours de soleil que l'on oublie jamais, corps réchauffés rassasiés de vie silencieuse.
