Vocals and arrangement by Farya Faraji. The melody is pre-existing folk motifs from Bulgaria recorded on the gaida bagpipe, with the defining feature of being in a highly asymettrical rythmic structure which may be confusing for non-Balkaners. These types of rythms are a classic feature of Balkanic music and a testament to its rich complexity. I added to the music the sound of a šargika-type instrument, as well as lyrics in the Old Church Slavonic language, the language spoken by the Bulgarians at the time the text heard here was written. The text is the Bitola inscription, written in the year 6523 of Eastern Roman reckoning, which matches 1015-1016 of the Gregorian calendar. The inscription was written by Ivan Vladislav, ruler of the First Bulgarian Empire.

Hey Farya, awesome song as always! I dont wanna be rude but i think this song could be even better if the gaida didn't "overshadow" your voice as much as it does in this masterpiece. Looking forward to more slavic songs though!
@@sergiohenriksen2834apoio demais! Já ouvi e a acho incrível... Uma pitada de Farya, a faria ainda melhor! Trocadilho português sem graça logo atrás. Amigo Farya, por favor, faça uma música representando o povo lusófono. Portugal, o mais ocidental dos países europeus, o Portão de Hércules, a última e belíssima flor do Lácio... Uma temática naval seria tão perfeita a uma música portuguesa, afinal, com seu pioneirismo marítimo, "deram novos mundos ao mundo", como é dito no hino nacional português. Já venho a alguns anos te pedindo essa música, mas não desistirei kkkk😂 Você já cercou Portugal (fez música irlandesa (Norte), espanhola (Leste) e marroquina (Sul)), logo, logo o atingirá!🙌🏽
Прекрасный подход к созданию музыки! А церковно-славянский и его старый вариант - старославянский (old church slavonic) вполне годятся и для восточнославянской музыки
Thank you Farya for making historical events & people come to life through song & melody ! This musical piece is a perfect theme for reading Dimitar Talev's book trilogy about Tsar Samuil. Ти си истинско вдъхновение за човечеството ! Поздрави от България 🇧🇬
Although at first a bit confusing, the amazing work that you've done with balkan music has allowed me to enjoy this piece's asymmetrical style to its fullest while trying to decipher what part of the text you showed was the one being sung. Kudos to you Farya for bringing such vast pool of musical wealth to light for us to hear.
Congratulations! We are happy for your interest in Bulgarian folklore and history! We are currently just finishing a trilogy of videos related specifically to Samuel and the end of the First Bulgarian Tsardom. Keep up the good work! :) PS: Here is the episode with Samuel: ua-cam.com/video/IWCjfw1yQ34/v-deo.htmlsi=_8PNsRbA6q84RG4F
Although the music type is both new and strange to me, but the chanting of this song had me somehow! I really sometimes wish if I have more time to read and learn about all the new cultures that I'm listening to here.
Finnish translation: Tämä tsaari oli bulgaarialainen synnyltään. Hurskaan Nikolan ja Ripsiman pojan poika. Aaronin poika, Joka oli Samuilin, Bulgarian tsaarin veli. He kaksi jotka keisari Basileios II:n kreikkalais armeijan torjuivat Stiponissa, mistä kulta vietiin
Very evocative of the Italian Medieval tune, _Saltarello_ whose rendition by Dead Can Dance proves that a tune that rocks will ignore distance and time.
By "Sons of Samuil" I means all the medieval bulgarian soldiers... Yes, it's true, this story is between myth and reality. @@theslavicdoomerandfighter2631
Great melody, cool arrangement! If anybody's curious how Old Church Slavonic sounds in the context of modern music, you can listen to Batyushka's first album "Litourgiya" (it's black metal, and according to the friend who keeps me updated on these things they're not neo-n*z*s. and yup, to anybody reading this and not knowing why, just know it's a commonly needed disclaimer for black metal bands and that sucks, but if you're into folklore and strange vocal textures it's a genre worth exploring)

Please, never use this ugly, poor excuse of a statue to illustrate any song on Samuel :) This piece of crap is one of the shames of present-day Sofia :D Beside the pic, the music is beautifully offered as always. One of the songs used is actually a playful love song but it doesn't matter.
Първо, пропорциите. Фигурата е късокрака и с женски бедра, защото Хайтов я е моделирал набързо, а и не е могъл да работи сигурно с материала, та е направил Самуил както лелка в баджаците. Второ, лицето. Това е почти портрет на Вежди Рашидов, дори без да коментираме светодиодните очи, които са просто кич. Трето, короната е унгарската.

А ви знате о љубавној причи о Косари,кћери цара Самуила и српског кнеза Дукље-Владимира?
Постоји више песама о тој љубави,можда и ви обрадите ту тему?
годятся потомущо старославянски ето то и старобалгарски .Текст - кирилица - болгарски алфабет .
Farya is carrying the Eastern European and Balkan music culture on his two shoulders alone, mad respect from Bulgaria! 🇧🇬❤❤
Also arabic
Bringing out of the mist of the mountains, it's always been there he has just shown it to the western world

agreed.
Imagine getting conquered but still inspiring the loyality of your subjects so much that Basil has to campaign every year

Amazing gaida ❤ Love it
A beautiful showcase of bulgarian musical culture and a rather forgotten historical figure even here,it's simply perfect
Although the music type is both new and strange to me, but the chanting of this song had me somehow!
I really sometimes wish if I have more time to read and learn about all the new cultures that I'm listening to here.
As soon as I saw this new upload I went "YES!"
Great music, as always.
