DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AN ANCIENT HISTORICAL CHANT. This is modern song, made by me, in 2023. Some person somewhere decided to share this on TikTok, passing it off as an ancient Christian chant passed down through the ages. The info is all down there in the description. This is a ballad I wrote in the style of Greek folk music about an Eastern Roman political figure, not a historical Christian chant as some people who don't read descriptions decided to pass this off as all over Tiktok. This should not be confused for an actual historical song and certainly not one from the repertoire of Eastern Orthodoxy. kk thx for reading love you byee ❤ NOTE: The phrase "cum sanguis Sassanidarum" is incorrect, it should be sanguine Sassanidarum," my mistake. Music by Farya Faraji and Dimitris Athanasopoulos of the One Man's Noise channel who beautifully performed the tsambouna and mantura in the instrumentation of this piece. Many thanks to Luke Ranieri of the polýMATHY channel for helping transform my grammatically incoherent lyrics into something functional (although I still did some mistakes in the grammar in the end). Please note that this isn't reconstructed historical music, it's entirely modern music with a historical theme. Also note that the lyrics use Classical Latin Pronunciation, which has nothing to do with the historical context of Belisarius, at which point the many diverging dialects of Latin had changed immensely from the Classical Latin period; my usage of it is only pragmatic as it's the one pronunciation I'm used to, and one could make a thematic interpretation of it representing the dream of a restored Roman empire of the glory days, which correspond with Classical Latin's period. I wanted to write a ballad-like piece about Flavius Belisarius, an Eastern Roman general who would be Justinian the Great's greatest servant in the Renovatio Imperii of the 6th century, the project that would see the reconquest and retaking of much of the lands previously controlled by the Roman Empire of Antiquity. Each of the verses refers to one of the main campaigns of Belisarius' career, first his war against Gelimer and the Vandals in North Africa, then his wars in Italy against the Goths, his battles against Khosrow Anushirvan (immortal soul) in the Lazic Wars, his further battles in Italy where he implored Totila to spare the city of Rome in a moving letter, in the chance that Totila were to win, and his final service post-retirement against the Kutrigurs in the Balkans. The instrumentation is mainly based on a tsambouna, a Greek bagpipe very frequently played in the islands like the Cyclades and especially Crete, and a mantoura, a remnant of the Ancient Greek aulos, both expertly played by my collaborator Dimitris Athanasopoulos of the channel One Man's Noise, who perfectly took my basic melody and breathed into it the authentic rhythms and ornaments of Greek music, which contains echoes of older music of Belisarius' age, where the bagpipe was frequently used by the Eastern Romans. A mainland Laouto provides the backing chords, and a davul drum and darbuka provide the percussions as is typically the case in traditional Greek music. A low vocal hum supports the melody, inspired by the Ison of Byzantine Chant practice. The point of this was essentially to mix Latin lyrics with Byzantine Chant and a traditional Greek sound centred on the Cycladic-Cretan island sound.

Weep not, mother Rome, again shall you prosper. A citizen of Rome I am, yet without an empire I am, In barbarians' blood shall Rome be reborn! The sands of Africa, with Vandals' blood, are turned red! Weep Gelimer, king without a kingdom, I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius! The gardens of Italy, with Goth's tears, are made fertile, Weep Goths, barbarians, I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius! The mountains of Lazica, with Sassanians' blood are turned red, Away, Khosrow, you mortal soul! I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius!

"Away zabergan you're no attila" is pretty cold too, it shows Attila's influence on both sides. And I think what both sides have in common is their respect for Attila.
Khosrow I of the Sassanid empire who was considered Justinian's toughest rival, gave himself the title "Anushirvan" meaning "Immortal Soul" so Belisarius calls him a "Mortal Soul" in this music. Classic
Belisarius. One of the greatest military commanders in the history of wars and human civilisation, who conducted the revival and resurrection of Roman empire. Truly the last of the Romans.
All empires are destined to end. Perhaps the imperial restoration could have worked if it was organised, but it was clear that the way of thinking was now old and Italy at the time was one of the poor economic areas.

A truly underrated General and amazing character in the times he lived in. I love how melancholy the song is. Despite the great victories he won in his day, Belisarius was always mistrusted and given fewer and fewer resources to achieve these gains. I appreciate the somber tone and despite the “I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius!” It sounds more and more forlorn as the song carries on.
Especially considering the fact the conquests in the end didn't matter since in 100 years everything would fall to the Caliphate makes it even more somber
I'm praying that one day Hollywood would make some great movies about the Eastern Roman Empire era and hire you as the composer. There are countless stories to be told and with your music they will be legendary.
As a history fan and as a scholar of history, I can say that this song or chant describe very well Byzantine Empire! I'm also an Albanian Orthodox (converted) and I'm so happy to be a follower of Jesus Christ! God bless you all and give only peace with each other!❤️☦️🇦🇱
What does being an Albanian Christian liking this song more?? I am Albanian Muslim and I still like the song as much. Albanians/Illyrians were part of the great empire (Eastern Rome in this case) and I cherish our people and our culture, as we share so much especially with the "Lahuta" that is being used as an instrument. Being Christian or Muslim doesnt have to do anything with loving or not loving this song more. Also you see the serb below you. He called you a brother 🤦 get a load of him
Belisarius seems to come from that breed of magnificent generals who performed amazing feats in the name of their leaders, yet were held back from completing the task because the very leaders they swore fealty to grew envious of their achievements, such as Surena, Germanicus and Stilicho. History really does repeat itself.
Belisarius really should've taken the Goths offer to be western emperor. I mean he was roman and the ostrogoths were technically citizens of Rome anyways and they never technically declared Italy wasn't apart of the empire they just governed it in Rome's name and kept the Senate and other institutions running the roman latins were actually pretty fine being governed by the ostrogoths the only problem of course was they were Arian Christian which is why an ostrogoth was never made emperor and why Justinian wanted to "reconquer" Italy. Honestly recreating a legitimate western Roman empire was totally possible if Belisarius took the offer since no one declared it fell and believed until Justinian said so.
@Drewski 1996 Genuinely, that would have been the best course of action. Especially since the West was still pretty positively receptive to Constantinople. Like if there's any "barbarian" group Rome could have at least semi trusted, it would have been the Ostrogoths.
I'm a 21 yro girl from Italy and I'm proud of the history of the Romans, even though people forget too often that the Empire continued in its Byzantine form until 1453. ❤
@@mrtrollnator123 Orthodoxy and Catholicism didn’t exist yet during the time of Belisarius. It was only the state church of the Roman Empire. Catholicism and Orthodoxy were one and the same then.

My friend, I am a Muslim. I have complete confidence. Muslims did not harm Christians and did not do anything to them. You are only influenced by the dirty media. The media always promotes to you that Muslims are enemies and evil, and this is all empty talk. Muslims have complete faith that Jesus is the word of God and that he is a prophet. It is great that he was born by a miracle, and he had miracles such as healing arrows and leprosy, feeling the dead, blowing on clay, and making him turn into a bird by the power of the Creator, the Almighty.

As a Serbian, I have always had interest in the Byzantine culture. Byzantine influence also played an important role in Serbian cultural heritage. Love and respect from Serbia.
I am a Turk and a Muslim, but I approach events objectively, not like some racist people, and even though I am a grandchild of the Ottomans, I have come to the conclusion that Belisarius is someone who should be respected. We have a saying, either the state is a pasha or the raven is a carcass. Belisarius ruled in a way that was fully adapted to his own culture.

In love with this piece, this is the kind of songs I imagine Belisarius and his Boukellarioi would sing. The wonderful Latin lyrics coupled with the Greek bagpipe really highlight the dual cultures of the Eastern Roman Empire. I'm actually a bit surprised tbh that you didn't use the gaida since Belisarius, like Justinian, was a Thracian/Illyrian and it would have been a really nice opportunity, but the tsambouna was fire enough already I suppose. Also, love how you called Khosrow a mortal soul, sick burn for the Anushiravan.
Good point, I did consider using the gaida but then it would have made it too close to the other pieces I did with it, especially Boulgaroktónos. I’ve really leaned on Thracian styles alot so I preferred changing it up this time around
Of course since the thracian romans spoke latin and were part of the ERE! They later got displaced by the avars and bulgars and became the romanians and aromanians
I finished a 6 Part documentary about Belisarius. I love the myths about him and him as a loyal general to his Emperor. I randomly saw a speed-up video of his conquests and thought it was nothing really special. Good, but nothing that should be talked about in the amount it is done. But damn, i was wrong. This man did really everything for his Emperor. Literally everything he wanted from him, Belisarius did it. He declined to be an Emperor himself two times after conquering west Rome again. He and his Emperor have been really close since early ages and their wives were best friends. A truly romantic setting. Justinian did his most loyal Genereal dirty. Belisarius didn't deserve the treatment he got. He was great on his own.

The part where Belisarius telling the barbarians to weep is essentially his version of saying "cope seethe and mald harder"

-"No, we had one of the most powerful kingdoms in the Mediterranean, you can't just invade with a tiny army and completely conquer it!"
-"Cry about it lol"
"Away zabergan you're no attila" is pretty cold too, it shows Attila's influence on both sides. And I think what both sides have in common is their respect for Attila.

A truly underrated General and amazing character in the times he lived in.
I love how melancholy the song is. Despite the great victories he won in his day, Belisarius was always mistrusted and given fewer and fewer resources to achieve these gains. I appreciate the somber tone and despite the “I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius!” It sounds more and more forlorn as the song carries on.
The powers of antiquity were very ungrateful of their true heroes in general, which brought about their ends.

Belisarius can really inspire us on many levels. Great music as always!
I love your books
Belisarius seems to come from that breed of magnificent generals who performed amazing feats in the name of their leaders, yet were held back from completing the task because the very leaders they swore fealty to grew envious of their achievements, such as Surena, Germanicus and Stilicho. History really does repeat itself.
Aetius too
And Emperor Aurelian who got murdered despite being the best emperor in decades
Belisarius really should've taken the Goths offer to be western emperor. I mean he was roman and the ostrogoths were technically citizens of Rome anyways and they never technically declared Italy wasn't apart of the empire they just governed it in Rome's name and kept the Senate and other institutions running the roman latins were actually pretty fine being governed by the ostrogoths the only problem of course was they were Arian Christian which is why an ostrogoth was never made emperor and why Justinian wanted to "reconquer" Italy. Honestly recreating a legitimate western Roman empire was totally possible if Belisarius took the offer since no one declared it fell and believed until Justinian said so.
Or the most popular ones, Scipio and Yi Sun Shin.
@Drewski 1996 Genuinely, that would have been the best course of action. Especially since the West was still pretty positively receptive to Constantinople. Like if there's any "barbarian" group Rome could have at least semi trusted, it would have been the Ostrogoths.

In love with this piece, this is the kind of songs I imagine Belisarius and his Boukellarioi would sing. The wonderful Latin lyrics coupled with the Greek bagpipe really highlight the dual cultures of the Eastern Roman Empire. I'm actually a bit surprised tbh that you didn't use the gaida since Belisarius, like Justinian, was a Thracian/Illyrian and it would have been a really nice opportunity, but the tsambouna was fire enough already I suppose.
Also, love how you called Khosrow a mortal soul, sick burn for the Anushiravan.
Good point, I did consider using the gaida but then it would have made it too close to the other pieces I did with it, especially Boulgaroktónos. I’ve really leaned on Thracian styles alot so I preferred changing it up this time around
Of course since the thracian romans spoke latin and were part of the ERE! They later got displaced by the avars and bulgars and became the romanians and aromanians

I finished a 6 Part documentary about Belisarius. I love the myths about him and him as a loyal general to his Emperor. I randomly saw a speed-up video of his conquests and thought it was nothing really special. Good, but nothing that should be talked about in the amount it is done. But damn, i was wrong. This man did really everything for his Emperor. Literally everything he wanted from him, Belisarius did it. He declined to be an Emperor himself two times after conquering west Rome again. He and his Emperor have been really close since early ages and their wives were best friends. A truly romantic setting. Justinian did his most loyal Genereal dirty. Belisarius didn't deserve the treatment he got. He was great on his own.
@@kingkaiser611 ooh what was the name/where did you find the documentary? I'm hyperfixated on the Belusarius at the moment and consumed with the desire to learn more.
@@meowcatmeowkitty I believe it was Epic History TV Belisarius serious, just Google it

¡En este día del padre el señor Farya Faraji nos ha regalado esta canción tan esperada! ¡Muchas gracias!👏🏼
Thank you Farya! From your voice I can hear Belisarius' loyalty to Rome and perseverance facing the enemies in difficult conditions.
Hello, however I am ethnic Turk, I’ve realised something after my dna test that I haven’t realised before. I am actually native Anatolian, the story that Turks arrived Anatolia from Central Asia was a huge propaganda. We’ve been only Turkified. Now, i am proud Anatolian and proud Roman. If I had a chance I’d restore an Anatolian State or Roman Empire. Don’t think we died, once Roman always a Roman. Count on Anatolia, we haven’t died yet!

Sen türk olduğunu inkar etsen bile düşmanın etmez unutma. Ha eğer çok Romalı olmak istiyorsan sorun yok doğu Romayı fatih batı Romayı Atilla darmaduman etti zaten 🐺
Your comment was moving one! Belonging somewhere is state of mind! Be proud, be Roman. Greetings from a Yunnan bro

I just started learning about the Late Roman era and the great Belisarius caught my eyes. Thank you for creating such beautiful music to this great general.
You have unlocked a whole new level of Rome thinking through your music, Farya. Thanks, from this argentine and roman citizen.
