Asbārān - Epic Iranian Music

- You can buy this song and the rest of my music here: faryafaraji.ba...
Music and vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn't actual reconstructed music from the Sasanian Era, but modern Iranian music with an ancient theme. The Asbārān, also spelled Aswārān, were an elite corps of the Sasanian army. Consisting of aristocrats, they were a close equivalent to the later European idea of the knight: heavily armoured nobles, often cataphracts on horseback forming the elite section of the Sasanian army. Part of the Asbārān corps were the Pushtigban, the personal protectors of the Sasanian Emperors.
The song is in the modal scale of Shur, and is mostly rooted in the Khorasani tradition of Iranian music, which emphasises the tanbour heavily, and is one of the folk traditions of Iran most concerned with great war epics and heroics, as well as one of the rare traditions of Iran were the 2/4 time signature is popular, said time signature being used here.
The lyrics are derived from the formal title of the Sasanian Emperor. Erān and Anerān can have a dual meaning: both that of Iran and non-Iran as in the territory, as well as Iranians and non-Iranians in the sense of the populations.

The lyrics "Pad i nām Shāhān Shāh i Erān ud Anerān" are derived from the formal title of the Sasanian Emperor. (Please note that my microphone peaked during the "i" in "Pad nam i Shah" so I mostly cut out that part of the audio, therefore the sound is not really present.)
Erān and Anerān can have a dual meaning: both that of Iran and non-Iran as in the territory, as well as Iranians and non-Iranians in the sense of the populations; this is also an important point as it's a vital reminder that the native, historical name of Iran has always been Iran (its pronunciation changed over the course of millenia of course) as opposed to the widely held misconception that Persia is the ancient, historical name of the country, a misconception held and promoted even by many Iranians to this day. The usage of the term Persia to mean the entirety of Iran is a foreign exonym originating with the Ancient Greeks, and only in the West has the country been called Persia. Its internal, native name was Iran as far back as the Sasanian era, and even far before that.

What are the full lyrics?
I hear something like
"Pad nām i Shāhān
Pad nām i Shāhān
i Erān ud Anerān"
"In the name of the King of Kings
In the name of the King of Kings
of Iran and Non-Iran."
Wow! I thought I knew alot about Iran since I'v been there for over a year! I do know, but the ancient history is still sumthing to look into. You have really opened my eyes tonight.💞🇿🇦👌

The music you produce makes me feel like I'm standing before cultures so vast and ancient that I might lose myself in them. I really enjoy and appreciate it. It makes me want to be in these ancient courts to see and hear them as they were.

Tarihte dünya daha iyiydi herkesin kendi kültürü vardı ona göre giyinirler ona göre müzik yaparlar ve ona göre mimarileri olurdu her kültürün kendi güzellikleri vardı modern dünyada ise bu yok oldu giysiler, binalar, müzikler tek tip oldu bir Arap, bir Türk bir Pers bir Yunan, Fransız, Hint birbirinden ayırt edilemez oldu.
Roma, persleri kendilerine denk görürdü. Büyük bir medeniyetti ama arapların eline geçti. Çok yazık oldu çok..

God I want an Assassin's Creed game set in Persia during Ashkan -> Sassanid transition.
With such masterfully built art and music.
Iranian culture and history is underated....
ac odyssey legacy of the first blade has that with darius and xerxes but they dont really go into persia which is sad
it would not be good, because they would ruin it. making gay storys and all that

@@11shah Lmfao 100%. Modern Assassin's Creed games are so bad and white washed. The only exception was Origins, but we're never getting another game close to that one.
I prefer Fromsoftware, Capcom, and Team Ninja to any western dev, barring specific games. Japanese devs as a whole are a lot more consistent
Beautiful 😍
Love the Indo European connection.
Nam=Name
(An)Eran, and here "an" has negative meaning like (Un)clear (Un)known in English i guess.
Definitely! It's even clearer in French or other Romance languages in words like normal vs anormal
One of popular Sanskrit name - Anamika(a + namika) means nameless or anonymous.
Ashoka - (a + Shoka ) = sorrow less
Oh wait, there's a indeed a word called Anarya(ANERAN) in Sanskrit i.e., one who is deprived of morals, non- nobles. (Arya simply signifies Noble people)

I’m writing a story having to do with royal houses and I named it Aswarani. They’re a warrior based royal house. I was looking for a cool name that sounded both Iranic and North Indian and I came across Aswaran. Considering in Sanskrit horse is Ashva, I went with Aswarani.
Only found this now but this is sick! Hope your story does well

Iran... how beautiful you were before islam
Everything was beautiful before Islam.
@@Cozonac3000 I prefer pre-Islamic Iran to modern Iran obviously and I sympathize with your disdain for Islam.
However, to say everything was beautiful before Islam is comical at best and I have to assume you mean it in some non-serious way.
For one thing, as backwards as parts of the Muslim world are today, the Arabs in that region themselves were significantly worse before Islam. The burying of newborn girls is just one example (and they were obviously much less organized and unified and thus much more savage tribal warfare took place).
That whole peninsula was the most backwards imaginable region compared to today (as hard as that might be to believe).
You also would be indirectly implying the rest of the world didn't exist and there was just ancient Rome and ancient Persia.
Rest assured, there was plenty of shitty and ugly elsewhere in the world.
cry about it
Is that why people in the middle east,especially the youth, are looking for opportunities to live in other countries ?@@bababoi9294
There were points in both it's Zoroastrian and Muslim history where it was beautiful.

Every single time. Virtually every single time you leave me in awe. I can't help it, time to make this everyone's problem. Its criminal that your audience isn't larger than it already is.
This sounds like it could be Total War battle OST.
And more specifically Sassanids in Attila...
A Kushan era music would be really cool with Bactrian lyrics(recreated).

Always loved this piece, but now listening to it in the back as I play Khosrow Anushirvan in modded Crusader Kings 2... truly another experience entirely
Amazing and inspiring, a true masterpiece!

Best song ever
Epic as always!
With this music I can imagine the majestic and heavily armored cataphracts deployed in the field of battle, with the sun shining brightly and reflecting in their armors, launching a powerful charge into their enemies, leaving a massive sand cloud behind them.
Greetings to Their Majesties , God Rays on the land , Shahanshahs of the great Eranshahr and Aneranshahr
Love you all ❤️
In Balochi Asbaran or (Asp-savaran) literally means *Horse-Rider*. or a person on horseback is = Asp-savar.
Same in pashto
It comes from a Indo-European term.
"Asp" comes from "Aswa". The latter is the name for horse in Sanskrit.
@@rudman97 yep, it's same in Avestan and Old Persian too
In Pashto Asparan
As Savar (Horse Rider)
Same in sanskrit..❤️

Yet another masterpiece of yours that I'm obsessed with! My ear really relishes the Khorasani traditional sound and this time signature!
Im from iran
Persian empire💚🤍❤️❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥
its annoying alot of ppl think the iranians are arabs and took from them even tho the iranians have there own ancient history and wars with greeks, romans, assyrians etc
It's the same thing with Turks
Lol, persian are the better version of arabs
[ 3:29 ] oh this was where that bit in the orientalism video was probably sourced
I knew it was Asbārān but I couldn't find the exact spot
I just love the sound of Middle Persian.
It would have been great if we could restore Parthian language as well and create modern Music with it.
I'd prefer the Old Persian language above sasanian Persian or Modern Persian. Achaemenid Persian language is very unknown.
@@mennyboy1528 Old Persian is literally just Avestan
@@zack2804Not, not even remotely. Avestan and Old Persian belong to two completely different branches of the Iranic languages

The word Shahanshah in Iranian culture is equivalent to the word emperor in Western culture. This title was used in post-Islamic Iran by dynasties that considered themselves the heirs of the Sassanids. Interestingly, most of these dynasties had Turkic and Mongol origins, such as the Ghaznavids, Seljuks, Khwarazmians, Ilkhanids and Qajars.
Khwarazmians didn't have turkic or Mongolid origins, and also shahanshah was used much earlier through pre-islamic dynasties (first through achaemenid empire then parthians and sasanids)
@@Saljuqid1040 based on every history source that exists accept the Turkish ones, and the reason is that ferdowsi couldn't read cuneiform scripts of Persepolis, behistun and others
I wouldn't fully agree with that statement at all. The Tahirids, Samanids, Buyids, etc...were all native Persian or ethnic Iranian peoples and the revival of Iranian culture heralded the Iranian Intermezzo period after the fall of the Sassanian dynasty and Islamic conquest of the Iranian world.
@@anonoymous9991 I do not deny the role of post-Islamic Iranic dynasties, especially the Samanids, in reviving Iranian culture. But I mean here the use of the title of Shahanshah in post-Islamic Iran. The official title of the rulers of Tahirids, Saffarids and Samanids was only Amir (local ruler). Some rulers of the Buyid dynasty, such as 'Adud al-Dawla, sometimes used the title of Shahanshah, but in general, the official title of the rulers of the Buyid dynasty was Amir. The Turkic and Mongol dynasties, such as the Ghaznavids, Seljuks, and Ilkhans, used the titles of Shahanshah (Emperor, King of Kings) and Sultan (independent ruler) because they had a wider territory than the rulers of the Iranic dynasties and were completely independent of the caliphate bureaucracy.
@@Saljuqid1040 My man, the Iranian Intermezzo period is what saw the decline and degradation of the Abbasid Caliphate's power. The Persian viziers of the Barmakids and Buyids reduced the Caliphs to nominal puppet rulers and figurehead. The Samanids and others frequently used King of Kings as titles and replacing Arabic with Persian as the administrative language of their dominions. By the mid 900s, the entire Iranian lands were autonomous of the Caliphate's authority. Turkic dynasties that followed were assimilated culturally by the Iranians which explains the origins of Persianate Islamic states.
Aspa in ancient Iranian means 'horse'. Asva in Sanskrit means the same.
خیلی زیباست 😍❤️
¡Gloria a Eranshahr!
Thanks 👍 👌 ❤️
The beautiful music .

Gave me genuine Sassanid vibes. Incredible!
Don't know why but this rhythmic piece makes me remember the story of Sheikh Ibrahim, a leader of the Milli Kurds from ca. 1900. The man had an eccentric but endearing habit: to travel on a camel while his servant traveled behind on a mule, and kept a ready coffee service with the help of a small bronze brazier. So the sheikh could keep his speed and have a cup of coffee or even offer it to any other traveler on the road without stopping.

In my opinion, the Persian Empire is the strongest empire in history in all its dynasties
I would disagree .sassanid empire was the first to fall to Arab conquest.Rome managed to survive (although they lost territory in middle east ) but the Persian empire disintegrated.Then there was also the Alexander's conquest of Persian empire .
@@Abk367 Alexander The Great was a brilliant commander and the Sassanid empire was severely weakened before the Arab conquest bcz of Plague, Civil wars and 30 years of pointless Byzantine-Sassanian war.
@@nothet May be in parthian times but in sassanian times no.
Sassanid empire was vaster and stronger than the parthian empire.
They weren't the secondary power against rome.
@@Abk367 in both of those invasions Iran was already weak
@@Abk367 saying that the Sasanians were weak because the Arabs conquered them, is like saying that the Byzantines were weak because Constantinople fell to the Ottomans
