Music by Farya Faraji, featuring the Latin rendition of the Palastinälied by the Skaldic Bard, an exceedingly talented linguist and musician I urge you to subscribe to if you enjoy history, music and old languages: youtube.com/@SkaldBard?si=2aS1po6A02iuW5E7; Walther von der Vogelweide, Theobald of Navarre, and various anonymous composers of the Medieval European, Greek Medieval and Anatolian Turkish traditions. Featuring kanun by Oğuzhan of the Bym Recording Group, and lyra by Stefanos Krasopoulis. I wanted to tell the story of the First Crusade, as always using an ethnomusicological lens through which the characters, locations and cultures revolving around the First Crusade allow us to get a glimpse into various soundscapes of different cultures and eras. For most of the symphony, up until the "Holy Land" chapter, the music representing the Western Europeans is historically informed and rooted in their historical practices, namely a monophonic, melodic structure devoid of modern Western harmony, with a practical compromise of the melodies being in Equal Temperament instead of Just Intonation or Pythagorean temperaments. Steady drones consisting of the tonic dominate these pieces, and early Western European harmony known as Organum; the usage of consistent parralel fifths or fourths, is also used. For a breakdown of Organum, watch this video I made explaining the subject, accompanied by academic sources: ua-cam.com/video/rNY4b0aRLcQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ZCJ5DxUU-RjA285P One anachronism however is the usage of the trompette, the buzzing rythmic sound of the hurdy-gurdy, something that only came about in the 1500's. Another historically informed aspect is the rendering of Gregorian Chant that is quite unlike the modern, post-Solesmes reformation of the 19th century, defined by a minimalist, soft vocal style. Medieval chant of the Latin church was far more ornamental in its delivery. For an overview of this subject, watch this video I made, complete with academic sources: ua-cam.com/video/hxcH7S2BaiQ/v-deo.htmlsi=9ZuRyWmVgDNOdaeo The instruments used to represent the Western Europeans consist of a vast panoply of historical instruments like medieval harps, bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, rebecs, lutes, gitterns, zithers, as well as the medieval organ, an instrument re-introduced in the West by the Eastern Romans. The music used to represent the Muslim Turks consists of modern Turkish folk forms; monophonic and heterephonic, using diverse maqams, namely Bayati, with modern Turkish instruments like the bağlama, and a Central Asian dombra to symbolically represent the newly arrived Turks in the region. Breakdown of the chapters: * Overture : 1095 A.D This chapter's melody consists of the Palastinaliëd, a 13th century song written for the Fifth Crusade. You can see my previous arrangement here: ua-cam.com/video/pB-iSVszMLk/v-deo.htmlsi=77XSzuJad1-9LeGp * The Plea from the East The melodies used are my Seljuks leitmotif, and the Greek melody and text are a reprise of Kúριε εκέκραξα, a Byzantine Chant. * The West Hears The melody is closely based on the medieval Dies Irae, a Gregorian Chant, and the text is a contemporary writing down of Pope Urban II's speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095, written down in the The Gesta Francorum Iherusalem peregrinantium by Fulcher of Chartres. * The Sinner An original composition closely emulating the melodic progressions of Western European medieval music from before the 1300's; with modal alterations between Dorian and Aeolian, and descending motifs down to the subtonic to initiate cadential phrases. The texts sung are from traditional Latin Catholic prayers, as well as Proverbs 6:9 from the Book of Proverbs. * The Call An arrangement of "Chevaliers mult estes guariz," a historical French Crusade chant written in the late 12th century for the Second Crusade; the lyrics have been altered to fit the context of the First Crusade. See my previous arrangement of the song here: ua-cam.com/video/2EY2ayoH81Y/v-deo.htmlsi=0tiKORFNTvI5M8Dq * The Voyage Alongside original melodies, the French Crusader song Seigneurs Sachiez is arranged here; you can see my previous arrangement of it here: ua-cam.com/video/c07tEwg4j3I/v-deo.htmlsi=8ZIBSsnpAEECRDx7. The rest of the text consists of the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum, a first-hand account of the First Crusade by an anonymous crusader who was closely associated with Bohemond of Taranto. * The Land of Rûm The song is "Severim Ben Seni," a traditional Mevlevi Turkish air based on a poem in Old Anatolian Turkish by Yunus Emre, a Sufi poet who lived in the 13th century. * Nicaea The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum and the Kutadgu Bilig. * The Battles in Rûm The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum and the Kutadgu Bilig. The section is structured in a 5/4 asymettrical time signature, called aksak in Turkish music theory. Such time signatures are unusual in Western European music but a mark of Anatolian music, and uses Bayati Maqam. * The Long March The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum. * Antioch The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum. The section is structured in a 9 beat asymetrical, aksak time signature typical of Anatolian music, and uses Bayati Maqam. * The Holy Land The melody is the Palastinälied, translated beautifully to Latin by the Skaldic Bard. Whilst the first rendition in the overture followed historical conventions, this one is arranged in a modern style using tonal harmonic progression. * The Last Prayer This is a medieval Gregorian Chant believed to date from the 9th century, called Ave Maris Stella. The chant is rendered in a historically informed manner, doing away with the modern style of Gregorian Chant and using Organum as well as an approximation of the ornamental style of chant of the Middle-Ages. * The Battle for Jerusalem The Gregorian Chant included here is the Dies Irae. * The City Falls The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum. * The Crusades Have Begun The melody is the Palastinälied, translated beautifully to Latin by the Skaldic Bard.
Tremendous work, my friend - your creativity and aptitude for music truly knows no bounds, and you've captured the spirit of the time so epically and authentically. I'm truly honoured to have been featured in this project. Congratulations on this latest masterpiece!
Both you and Farya are equally excellent at making masterpieces like these, I am forever grateful that the two of you collaborated on creating this beautiful symphony 🙏
I can't believe that my two music artists have done a collaboration 49:43 Palästinalied in latin hits hard, and now I can't wait for Jihad's response for a mega campaign in crusader kings 3
The west hears is by far the best part for me. The Amen is the response to Amin. Its like a genuine response of the west sympathising with the eastern romans and calling forth all who want to help them from certain doom
Hearing the Seljuk theme in the first minutes of this really allowed to feel like it was a brutal consequence of the Manzikert disaster. Well done, magister
I'm not sure if this was the intention but I love how the Latin pronunciation is somewhat "inconsistent". In "Antioch", the "ecce" is pronounced with a hard "k" sound, but "caelum" has a "tch" sound. Later on, in the "Last Prayer", "caeli" is pronounced as "seli", and "atque" is "atqve". It demonstrates how the Crusaders came from a variety of backgrounds and would often speak Latin in their own accents. Different pronunciations, one language. Different nations, one Crusade! (And ofc there's also the French and Turkish parts which are awesome too)
Glad someone noticed! There were indeed many regional varieties of Medieval Latin pronunciation and I wanted them all in, didn't think anyone would notice that haha
“Turci” is also pronounced differently throughout the song! In “The West Hears”, “Turci” is pronounced (Turçi/Turchi) and in “Battles of Anatolia” it’s pronounced (Turki)
Interesting. So far, I can hear that the address by the Pope to the Catholics is in standard Ecclesiastical pronunciation. Then when it's the song of the Crusaders, it becomes varied.
@@justinianthegreat1444 nope. He didn't send help to Antioch as he had sworn to do. Oath breaker. The crusaders kept their side as long as the Greek emperor kept his, returning Nicaea, Dorylaion plus most of Anatolia to him. When he left them for dead at Antioch, there was no deal to fulfill anymore.
‘Were you not close enough to a great king? To learn by his example?’ ‘If god does not love you, how could you have done all the things that you have done? Peace be upon you…”
I promised my mother not to cry, but upon hearing the Orthodox's plea I broke down. Simply magnificent, like all your works, of great quality, keep it up, greetings from Spain, we had our own crusade for 700 years. ✝️🤝🏻☦️, 🇪🇦🤍
@@FlavioBelisario5822sí, una Cruzada que inició trescientos años antes de que Urbano II convocara la primera. Si lo pensamos, el siglo XI fue el más interesante de entre los mil años que duró la edad media, la batalla de Hastings, las gestas del Cid campeador, la batalla de mazinkert, y las cruzadas fueron eventos históricos que decidieron el curso histórico de europa y el mundo, y se dieron precisamente en el siglo XI.
I loved the various pronounciations of latin during the symphony. It gave it a authentic feeling reagarding that the crusaders were members of various "nations" speaking their own version of latin.
The central secret and core of the poem is that the seeker of truth if following the path of the Islamic Sharia with the aid of Muhammadan spirituality (Tariqa) will reach gnosis and pure truth at a moment of unveiling.
I love the "The crusades have begun" segment at the end. The heavy drums, and the echoes of the Arabic lamentations perfectly express the idea of reverberations felt far away across the whole world. They are followed by a bold, triumphant, simultaneously heroic and bloodthirsty declarations: "HAIL THE SPEAR, THE THORN, THE CROSS, WOE TO YOU PAGANS, THIS IS A WOUND TO YOU!" basically saying "FUCK YOU, COME AND GET US" And again, the reverberations from the begining are remembered, the drumbeat and the lamentation, a bloodthirsy delcaration born from the blood of the innocent, of pure fanaticism. And with the knowledge of the title, "The Crusades Have Begun", you know that it would be heard, and answered, and that it has begun. I hope that if you make a symphony for the second crusade, it will begin with a section similar to "the plea from the east", but begining with the same lamentation, rather than the Roman pleas.
The Arabic lamentation is actually Adzan, the call for prayer for Muslim. But Farya is so genius, it feels that the call is not only for pray but also the call and hope to the Muslim world to reunite, rise back, and fight against the Europeans to take back the Holy Land, which precipitated in the aftermath of the Second Crusade.
@@luthfilofianda3999 Too many backs in that sentence Ye can't take something back that you don't own Crusades was too free Christian land from Muslim rule not the other way around Turks are from Mongolia antolia is Europe and had no place in Jerusalem.
@@Ejej-zi4vo Whole of Europe is not owned by Christians, they belong to the pagans and animists. Why should they replaced by random middle eastern religion? Jerusalem is also not belong to the Christians. It belongs to Canaanites, Israelites, and Phoenicians. The whole of American continent is not belong to the Christians, it belongs to the Native Americans. You European Christians think like you own the whole world lol. In the end, you are just colonizer after all. Do you think the people of the Holy Land in the 11th century want to be freed by you guys? You guys even slaughtered not only Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem when you conquered it, but also the fellow Christians. The same focking religion with you. What kind of people are you guys actually? 😂
Others: Look, two very famous artists have released a feat, it was a bomb and everyone is talking about it Meanwhile me: OMG, look at what I just saw, Farya Faraji and Skaldic Bard have released a feat together!!
@@persian639 Would be cool to get some aksumite war music in Ge’ez, the Aksumites were truly powerful and put up a fight against the persians. Would also be dope if we got some uyghur khanate manichaean war music
1:08:56 well this part certainly did not disappoint. It sounds genuinely scary and rightfully so, reflecting the brutality of the sacking of Jerusalem. Also these symphony versions of your crusader songs carry a sense of zealousness and drama compared to your stand-alone versions which sound more heroic. all and all, another masterpiece from you and Skald, thanks!
Yeah, I loved how Farya gave a contrasted depiction of the events through his music. There was no glory in this story, just the story as it was and as its protagonists experienced it.
to quote my comment from your previous video "For now, my bets for the next one are either Edessa 260AD, or something from the Crusades..." MAN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE RIGHT! I'm so excited for this beauty
@@TomasRvm I've been pipedreaming about one about the Nerva-Antonines, or at least one about trajan or hadrian, with a cover of "Legio Aeterna Victrix". Maybe for the kokhba rebellion. Or, imagine a "Marcus Aurelius' Dreams/Meditations", like the oldschool farya videos.
Petition to Farya to make ''Land of rum'' a separate song in his channel. If you ask my opinion the song is even better when its heard in ''The battles of anatolia''.I am addicted to it and it would be a blessing if we could hear it on repeat. I know it's an old turkish song, but you man, have the ability to make every song 5x times better.
@@AlicanErenKuzu thank you I've already found a version in which an old guy sings and it's pretty neat. I would have never guessed i would be so amused by a Turkish song
@@GladiusRomae Yeah turkish can be very lyrical and soft. I also don't listen to it much but there are some songs I truely love. This one runs of repeat from different artists
The pure emotion evoked in 'the sinner' I'm not a religious person but the dialogue between what sounds like a broken man and the priest exhorting him to travel and fight for salvation gives me chills. Love your stuff Farya!
WAIT! Is "The land of Rum" in 25:29 the same symphony that happens during Sibila and Balian are having dinner in The Kingdom of Heaven? I have listened all yours symphonys: Julius Caesar, Justinian, Thermopylae, Carrhae... and I must admit The Crusader is the best I heard by far, being all asthonishing.
I have several of your songs remembered by heart. Your music has helped me learn Latin among others, my favorite being Avestan. A real conversation starter! Keep it up, much love my friend from a Crazy Canuck!
The melody and the voices of 'The West Hears' are hauntingly beautiful! I don't know how many times I've listened to it since you uploaded the symphony, but I find myself humming the melody all too often.
DANNGGGG A SKALDIC FEATURE, I love skaldics music, best music collab I have seen in a long time. These symphonys are always my favorite I love in this one you included the Eastern Roman era of the campaign (Nicaea and western Anatolia). Keep making some of the best tradition/historical music the world has seen.
I know I always applaud your work, but I trully mean it when I say that this is one of your very best! Good job to both you and the Skaldic Bard, hopefully we see more collaboration between you.
One year ago, i said that you gonna make a Symphony to continue the manzikert , and after 8 days whitout any music you delivery this to us. I heard this song whit tears and my rosary in hands. I realy thanks for what you have done for me and all of us. For me, this ia more than a song, is a prey and a memory of a honorous people in a honorous age.
Everything is cool as always, incredibly cool - you and Skaldic Bard have the best historical music I could find. But I have never been able to find many songs or music in ancient Egyptian or Coptic. I think these languages deserve their own hit, which you Farya could make
"Son of Ra" from his Alexander symphony is in Ancient Egyptian but the instrumentation is modern, a call back to 50's and 60's movies epic soundtracks. Either way, it's interesting to hear.
Amazing work Farya. The crusaders massacre at Jerusalem in "The City Falls" hits hard, but I am glad it was included, that event shouldn't be forgotten!
This is mind blowing. I studied voice in the western tradition. Being able to sing with microtonality is something that even the most skilled vocalists I know would struggle immensely with due to the way we're trained , but you make it sound so effortless. Seriously, props to you for this composition and performance.
Splendid! As a traditional follower of The Skaldic Bard and as a frequent commenter (previously under the name @ulster-is-british) this is wonderful I came here from his community post about this collaboration His translations of palästinelied into Old Norse and this, Latin as well as his most recent into Old English are - arguably - his most famous pieces I confess, I have never really listened to you as closely I do him, however your rendition of an alarc’h and Mult Estes Guariz are splendid and I do listen to them semi-frequently After listening to this, I have been amazed by the sheer quality you two have and I am joyed by you two taking pride. I may be forced by your talent to subscribe!
Bro I swear I was thinking about how you had no posted anything yet and then UA-cam recommended me this gem, as always, thx for the high quality music Farya!
I still remember commenting on one of your videos about you making a templar chant or crusader music with your style under the Psalm 135 video and you delivered harder than ever. Thank you.
Talk about a cinematic opening. From the Overture to the West Hears has such an immersive atmosphere. I haven't listened beyond there just yet, but this is already shaping up to be an absolute banger. Thank you Farya. Edited to say that the rest of this track absolutely slaps. Love the Latin Palästinalied and Ave Maris Stella, both sound magnificent with your voice.
@@sal6695 Or he could have different songs about different events and places such as the arrival of the Muslims, the Battle of Tours, the Christians uniting to drive them out, El Cid, the Mezquita, Ferdinand II and Isabel I, etc.
I've been busy lately and didn't have time to listen to this symphony even though I noticed it had been updated. And today I regret that. How wonderful! I shudder and admire. A beautiful and well-crafted composition. Great performance and singing voice. Each chapter is beautifully combined, and one singing voice creates a thousand scenes. This was truly a movie to be heard and an epic to be played. I have no words for how wonderful you are. Because of people like you, I once again remembered that I became interested in history, music, and culture, and that feeling has become even stronger. I was so excited that I ended up typing a long message, but thank you so much for the wonderful music.
I've been waiting for some kind of melody for the Rûm by you, and when I first listened to it, I instantly fell in love with it. Just beautiful. 3:44 The Rome melody, Crusader tunes, and the Carolingian hymn making a comeback instantly makes this a favorite. Also, the City Falls bit was just.. horrific, truly powerful. Once again you've outdone yourself, and in a collab with Skaldic Bard too! Bravo 👌👏👏👏
Once again, Mr. Faraji, you have delivered another solid masterpiece! You never disappoint! Allow me to give this one a couple of repeated listens so as to properly comment on every aspect I can of this awesome work. All I will say for now is that the "Land Of Rum" section was a dream-like, absolutely beautiful transition and change of musical scenery. The Gregorian chants go without saying.
this music lifts history to a level of myth or fantasy. Then you remember, it's our history which this is about. the places are still there and the names are same or similar. Love it.
This is a real masterpiece, but oddly what really gets me is the first 25 minutes of the piece. I cannot get enough of the monophonic Latin comprising the segments between "The West Hears" to the end of "The Voyage." It is my hope that, perhaps, these segments might be revisited somehow and extended... and perhaps I might just listen to what comes on repeat as often as I have these pieces!
You are a God-send gift to us listeners who through music can play whole scenarios in our head. Farya, a thousandful thanks to you and your companions for making such divine music!
AVE MARIS STELLA DEI MATER ALMA ⭐ Thank you Farya for not only performing one of my favorite prayers once but again and somehow even better in this gorgeous project. I listen to your first version almost daily.
Time to listen to one hour of heroic mood symphony during my monthly bleeding in a desperate attempt to hold to dear life and stop craving for death like the fucking warrior I was born to be
Although the whole symphony is a masterpiece, the final part of the Battle for Jerusalem was absolutely breathtaking. You two absolutely nailed it, God bless you both, Farya and Skald!
the chills I got at the build up of the holy land!!! both of my favourite content creators, this just absolutely made my day, EVERY detail is so good, the seljuks theme at the beginning because the seljuk turks were the cause for the crusades, then the plea of the east almost made me wanna cry 🥲 the lyrics actually hit. I love this so much.

Breakdown of the chapters:
* Overture : 1095 A.D
This chapter's melody consists of the Palastinaliëd, a 13th century song written for the Fifth Crusade. You can see my previous arrangement here: ua-cam.com/video/pB-iSVszMLk/v-deo.htmlsi=77XSzuJad1-9LeGp
* The Plea from the East
The melodies used are my Seljuks leitmotif, and the Greek melody and text are a reprise of Kúριε εκέκραξα, a Byzantine Chant.
* The West Hears
The melody is closely based on the medieval Dies Irae, a Gregorian Chant, and the text is a contemporary writing down of Pope Urban II's speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095, written down in the The Gesta Francorum Iherusalem peregrinantium by Fulcher of Chartres.
* The Sinner
An original composition closely emulating the melodic progressions of Western European medieval music from before the 1300's; with modal alterations between Dorian and Aeolian, and descending motifs down to the subtonic to initiate cadential phrases. The texts sung are from traditional Latin Catholic prayers, as well as Proverbs 6:9 from the Book of Proverbs.
* The Call
An arrangement of "Chevaliers mult estes guariz," a historical French Crusade chant written in the late 12th century for the Second Crusade; the lyrics have been altered to fit the context of the First Crusade. See my previous arrangement of the song here: ua-cam.com/video/2EY2ayoH81Y/v-deo.htmlsi=0tiKORFNTvI5M8Dq
* The Voyage
Alongside original melodies, the French Crusader song Seigneurs Sachiez is arranged here; you can see my previous arrangement of it here: ua-cam.com/video/c07tEwg4j3I/v-deo.htmlsi=8ZIBSsnpAEECRDx7. The rest of the text consists of the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum, a first-hand account of the First Crusade by an anonymous crusader who was closely associated with Bohemond of Taranto.
* The Land of Rûm
The song is "Severim Ben Seni," a traditional Mevlevi Turkish air based on a poem in Old Anatolian Turkish by Yunus Emre, a Sufi poet who lived in the 13th century.
* Nicaea
The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum and the Kutadgu Bilig.
* The Battles in Rûm
The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum and the Kutadgu Bilig. The section is structured in a 5/4 asymettrical time signature, called aksak in Turkish music theory. Such time signatures are unusual in Western European music but a mark of Anatolian music, and uses Bayati Maqam.
* The Long March
The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum.
* Antioch
The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum. The section is structured in a 9 beat asymetrical, aksak time signature typical of Anatolian music, and uses Bayati Maqam.
* The Holy Land
The melody is the Palastinälied, translated beautifully to Latin by the Skaldic Bard. Whilst the first rendition in the overture followed historical conventions, this one is arranged in a modern style using tonal harmonic progression.
* The Last Prayer
This is a medieval Gregorian Chant believed to date from the 9th century, called Ave Maris Stella. The chant is rendered in a historically informed manner, doing away with the modern style of Gregorian Chant and using Organum as well as an approximation of the ornamental style of chant of the Middle-Ages.
* The Battle for Jerusalem
The Gregorian Chant included here is the Dies Irae.
* The City Falls
The text is from the Gesta Francorum et aliorum Hierosolimitanorum.
* The Crusades Have Begun
The melody is the Palastinälied, translated beautifully to Latin by the Skaldic Bard.

Hearing the Seljuk theme in the first minutes of this really allowed to feel like it was a brutal consequence of the Manzikert disaster. Well done, magister

Farya and Skaldic Bard... Together... I've got something in my eye...
I love the use of the different historical Crusade songs. Each time a new one was played I was like "Hey, I know that one!"
Another unparalleled symphony by our Shahanshah-e Musiqi made me feel as though I was there through the entire journey as a crusader.
Let me become 🤓 for a while.
Don't some people claim that the Last Byzantine Roman - Iranian War of 602-628 to be the actual "First" Crusade?
I'm not sure if this was the intention but I love how the Latin pronunciation is somewhat "inconsistent". In "Antioch", the "ecce" is pronounced with a hard "k" sound, but "caelum" has a "tch" sound. Later on, in the "Last Prayer", "caeli" is pronounced as "seli", and "atque" is "atqve".
It demonstrates how the Crusaders came from a variety of backgrounds and would often speak Latin in their own accents. Different pronunciations, one language. Different nations, one Crusade!
(And ofc there's also the French and Turkish parts which are awesome too)
Glad someone noticed! There were indeed many regional varieties of Medieval Latin pronunciation and I wanted them all in, didn't think anyone would notice that haha
“Turci” is also pronounced differently throughout the song! In “The West Hears”, “Turci” is pronounced (Turçi/Turchi) and in “Battles of Anatolia” it’s pronounced (Turki)
Interesting. So far, I can hear that the address by the Pope to the Catholics is in standard Ecclesiastical pronunciation. Then when it's the song of the Crusaders, it becomes varied.
This is the type of song that would encourage a Crusader more than Pope Urban could. fantastic piece as always
Alexios I Komnenos is clapping in heaven!
Poor Choice of words, for us dirty minded peoples...
Yeah idk about that, considering he betrayed the Crusaders.
@@servus_incognitus you mean the crusaders pulled out from their deal first?
@@justinianthegreat1444 nope. He didn't send help to Antioch as he had sworn to do. Oath breaker. The crusaders kept their side as long as the Greek emperor kept his, returning Nicaea, Dorylaion plus most of Anatolia to him. When he left them for dead at Antioch, there was no deal to fulfill anymore.
@@servus_incognitusMaybe because the word had spread that the crusaders were already defeated.

@@madcyborg1822 Most certainly Nicaea for how the instrumental segments and vocals compliment each other so well; you?
I loved the various pronounciations of latin during the symphony. It gave it a authentic feeling reagarding that the crusaders were members of various "nations" speaking their own version of latin.
Land of Rum was something else man
The song is called "Severim Ben Seni":

@@1805bbd What is the meaning?
@@roihanfadhil2879 It translates as “I love you” in meaning but the syntax has been modified so it’s very difficult to translate literally.
The central secret and core of the poem is that the seeker of truth if following the path of the Islamic Sharia with the aid of Muhammadan spirituality (Tariqa) will reach gnosis and pure truth at a moment of unveiling.
Nice old turkish song
I love the "The crusades have begun" segment at the end.
The heavy drums, and the echoes of the Arabic lamentations perfectly express the idea of reverberations felt far away across the whole world.
They are followed by a bold, triumphant, simultaneously heroic and bloodthirsty declarations:
"HAIL THE SPEAR, THE THORN, THE CROSS, WOE TO YOU PAGANS, THIS IS A WOUND TO YOU!"
basically saying "FUCK YOU, COME AND GET US"
And again, the reverberations from the begining are remembered, the drumbeat and the lamentation, a bloodthirsy delcaration born from the blood of the innocent, of pure fanaticism.
And with the knowledge of the title, "The Crusades Have Begun", you know that it would be heard, and answered, and that it has begun.
I hope that if you make a symphony for the second crusade, it will begin with a section similar to "the plea from the east", but begining with the same lamentation, rather than the Roman pleas.
The Arabic lamentation is actually Adzan, the call for prayer for Muslim. But Farya is so genius, it feels that the call is not only for pray but also the call and hope to the Muslim world to reunite, rise back, and fight against the Europeans to take back the Holy Land, which precipitated in the aftermath of the Second Crusade.

Too many backs in that sentence
Ye can't take something back that you don't own

Turks are from Mongolia antolia is Europe and had no place in Jerusalem.
@@Ejej-zi4vo Whole of Europe is not owned by Christians, they belong to the pagans and animists. Why should they replaced by random middle eastern religion? Jerusalem is also not belong to the Christians. It belongs to Canaanites, Israelites, and Phoenicians. The whole of American continent is not belong to the Christians, it belongs to the Native Americans. You European Christians think like you own the whole world lol. In the end, you are just colonizer after all. Do you think the people of the Holy Land in the 11th century want to be freed by you guys? You guys even slaughtered not only Muslims and Jews in Jerusalem when you conquered it, but also the fellow Christians. The same focking religion with you. What kind of people are you guys actually? 😂
this video's got it all! Byzantine chants, Latin, crusades, beautiful melodies and leitmotifs calling back to previous songs... Bravo, Farya!

Based sassanin, should there be a song of the aksumites vs persians?
@@DM5550Z I don't know, ask Farya about that😂. Rome-Persia wars is more famous so that there are more songs about it, but this can also be a good idea
@@persian639 Would be cool to get some aksumite war music in Ge’ez, the Aksumites were truly powerful and put up a fight against the persians. Would also be dope if we got some uyghur khanate manichaean war music
1:08:56 well this part certainly did not disappoint. It sounds genuinely scary and rightfully so, reflecting the brutality of the sacking of Jerusalem.
Also these symphony versions of your crusader songs carry a sense of zealousness and drama compared to your stand-alone versions which sound more heroic. all and all, another masterpiece from you and Skald, thanks!
Yeah, I loved how Farya gave a contrasted depiction of the events through his music. There was no glory in this story, just the story as it was and as its protagonists experienced it.
This part about the fall of Jerusalem is like a horror movie, an the narration about the saracen slaught... it's worthy of a horror movie.
@@mennyboy1528 It definitely felt incredibly, gut-wrenching horrifying, and I love it for that!
to quote my comment from your previous video
"For now, my bets for the next one are either Edessa 260AD, or something from the Crusades..."
MAN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE RIGHT! I'm so excited for this beauty
its always fun anticipating what he's gonna do next
I betted on a symphony about the komnenians close enough
I also guessed that he already had a hell of a crusade song on the way... How good it is to play guessing what's on Farya's mind hahaha
@@TomasRvm I've been pipedreaming about one about the Nerva-Antonines, or at least one about trajan or hadrian, with a cover of "Legio Aeterna Victrix". Maybe for the kokhba rebellion.
Or, imagine a "Marcus Aurelius' Dreams/Meditations", like the oldschool farya videos.
I hope that Farya Faraji one of these days will compose a symphony about the discovery and or conquest of America
Petition to Farya to make ''Land of rum'' a separate song in his channel. If you ask my opinion the song is even better when its heard in ''The battles of anatolia''.I am addicted to it and it would be a blessing if we could hear it on repeat. I know it's an old turkish song, but you man, have the ability to make every song 5x times better.
Search youtube for "Seni ben severim candan içeru" But yes, Farya should make a long epic version of this song.
@@AlicanErenKuzu thank you I've already found a version in which an old guy sings and it's pretty neat. I would have never guessed i would be so amused by a Turkish song
Also farya has remade traditional and folk music from all over the world so it wouldn't be tue first time
@@GladiusRomae Yeah turkish can be very lyrical and soft. I also don't listen to it much but there are some songs I truely love. This one runs of repeat from different artists
Your petition has been answered
The pure emotion evoked in 'the sinner' I'm not a religious person but the dialogue between what sounds like a broken man and the priest exhorting him to travel and fight for salvation gives me chills. Love your stuff Farya!
YES!!! My two favorite History-themed musicians finally working together to deliver epicness!!!
It’s about time you skaldic bard collaborated that guy makes such good music
WAIT!
Is "The land of Rum" in 25:29 the same symphony that happens during Sibila and Balian are having dinner in The Kingdom of Heaven?
I have listened all yours symphonys: Julius Caesar, Justinian, Thermopylae, Carrhae... and I must admit The Crusader is the best I heard by far, being all asthonishing.
You have a good ear, I never paid attention to the ambient melody in that scene. It's "Severim ben Seni," a traditional Mevlevi air from Turkey
I have several of your songs remembered by heart. Your music has helped me learn Latin among others, my favorite being Avestan. A real conversation starter! Keep it up, much love my friend from a Crazy Canuck!

Ive been listening to Nicaea and Battles of Anatolia non-stop. These would do so great as their own songs!
The melody and the voices of 'The West Hears' are hauntingly beautiful! I don't know how many times I've listened to it since you uploaded the symphony, but I find myself humming the melody all too often.
No credits to me, the melody is the medieval Dies Irae! And indeed, it's hauntingly beautiful, hence why I had to plagiarise it haha

DANNGGGG A SKALDIC FEATURE, I love skaldics music, best music collab I have seen in a long time. These symphonys are always my favorite I love in this one you included the Eastern Roman era of the campaign (Nicaea and western Anatolia). Keep making some of the best tradition/historical music the world has seen.
i really loved 'The Land of Rûm'
you have a talent for music.
please keep them coming. it wouldn't be a bad idea to allow channel memberships i think
Wow, this is a collab I have been praying for!
I know I always applaud your work, but I trully mean it when I say that this is one of your very best! Good job to both you and the Skaldic Bard, hopefully we see more collaboration between you.
I wasn't expecting a crusade symphony nor this collaboration
Amazing 👏
Can never get enough of the "Kúριε εκέκραξα" sections.
One year ago, i said that you gonna make a Symphony to continue the manzikert , and after 8 days whitout any music you delivery this to us. I heard this song whit tears and my rosary in hands.
I realy thanks for what you have done for me and all of us. For me, this ia more than a song, is a prey and a memory of a honorous people in a honorous age.
I'm reading a Westeros history book, The World of Ice and Fire, as I listen to this. Effing god-tier evening.
Andals zealously conquering Westeros in the name of the Faith of the Seven and burning heretical weirwoods certainly fits the theme haha
Everything is cool as always, incredibly cool - you and Skaldic Bard have the best historical music I could find. But I have never been able to find many songs or music in ancient Egyptian or Coptic. I think these languages deserve their own hit, which you Farya could make
"Son of Ra" from his Alexander symphony is in Ancient Egyptian but the instrumentation is modern, a call back to 50's and 60's movies epic soundtracks. Either way, it's interesting to hear.
Amazing work Farya. The crusaders massacre at Jerusalem in "The City Falls" hits hard, but I am glad it was included, that event shouldn't be forgotten!
It gives contrast to the story. Neither gloryfying nor condemning the Crusades, just telling the story as it was, and it was greatly tragic.
Muslims started first!!
FINALLY COOP WITH SKALDIC 🔥🔥🔥
Praise you Farya!
This is mind blowing. I studied voice in the western tradition. Being able to sing with microtonality is something that even the most skilled vocalists I know would struggle immensely with due to the way we're trained , but you make it sound so effortless. Seriously, props to you for this composition and performance.
This is the collab we were waiting for.
I waited so much for this one.
Splendid!
As a traditional follower of The Skaldic Bard and as a frequent commenter (previously under the name @ulster-is-british) this is wonderful
I came here from his community post about this collaboration
His translations of palästinelied into Old Norse and this, Latin as well as his most recent into Old English are - arguably - his most famous pieces
I confess, I have never really listened to you as closely I do him, however your rendition of an alarc’h and Mult Estes Guariz are splendid and I do listen to them semi-frequently
After listening to this, I have been amazed by the sheer quality you two have and I am joyed by you two taking pride.
I may be forced by your talent to subscribe!
Bro I swear I was thinking about how you had no posted anything yet and then UA-cam recommended me this gem, as always, thx for the high quality music Farya!

When I retire, dear Farya, I'll learn all your best songs and share it wherever I'll go.
I still remember commenting on one of your videos about you making a templar chant or crusader music with your style under the Psalm 135 video and you delivered harder than ever. Thank you.
Been waiting for this for long time! Best colab imaginable
Talk about a cinematic opening. From the Overture to the West Hears has such an immersive atmosphere. I haven't listened beyond there just yet, but this is already shaping up to be an absolute banger. Thank you Farya.
Edited to say that the rest of this track absolutely slaps. Love the Latin Palästinalied and Ave Maris Stella, both sound magnificent with your voice.

The Holy Land is the best rendition of the Palästinalied I’ve heard
I've been busy lately and didn't have time to listen to this symphony even though I noticed it had been updated. And today I regret that. How wonderful! I shudder and admire. A beautiful and well-crafted composition. Great performance and singing voice. Each chapter is beautifully combined, and one singing voice creates a thousand scenes. This was truly a movie to be heard and an epic to be played. I have no words for how wonderful you are. Because of people like you, I once again remembered that I became interested in history, music, and culture, and that feeling has become even stronger. I was so excited that I ended up typing a long message, but thank you so much for the wonderful music.
This is a sublime masterpiece. You truly are the best dear Farya. Thank you from all my heart
I've been waiting for some kind of melody for the Rûm by you, and when I first listened to it, I instantly fell in love with it. Just beautiful.
3:44 The Rome melody, Crusader tunes, and the Carolingian hymn making a comeback instantly makes this a favorite.
Also, the City Falls bit was just.. horrific, truly powerful.
Once again you've outdone yourself, and in a collab with Skaldic Bard too! Bravo 👌👏👏👏
Best duo ever. Listening to both of them to make a symphony together
The sack of Jerusalem is absolutely chilling.
This is like receiving a gift I never expected and do not deserve.
Once again, Mr. Faraji, you have delivered another solid masterpiece! You never disappoint! Allow me to give this one a couple of repeated listens so as to properly comment on every aspect I can of this awesome work. All I will say for now is that the "Land Of Rum" section was a dream-like, absolutely beautiful transition and change of musical scenery. The Gregorian chants go without saying.
this music lifts history to a level of myth or fantasy. Then you remember, it's our history which this is about. the places are still there and the names are same or similar. Love it.
I'd like to see an epic symphony about the conquest of new world by Farya Faraji.
Dreaming costs nothing.
Yooooo ...
I was not prepared for this to drop. This is going to be incredible.
This is a real masterpiece, but oddly what really gets me is the first 25 minutes of the piece. I cannot get enough of the monophonic Latin comprising the segments between "The West Hears" to the end of "The Voyage." It is my hope that, perhaps, these segments might be revisited somehow and extended... and perhaps I might just listen to what comes on repeat as often as I have these pieces!
The co-op we didn't deserve, but the one we needed
You are a God-send gift to us listeners who through music can play whole scenarios in our head. Farya, a thousandful thanks to you and your companions for making such divine music!
Great words
