  • Tsambouna by Dimitris Athanasopoulos of the One Man's Noise channel (check out more of his awesome music there,) music and vocals by Farya Faraji, based on Georgian folk motifs.
    I wanted to try my hand at a bit of Georgian music, and the history of Tornike Eristavi was a fascinating one to do it with. Tornike Eristavi was a 10th century Georgian noble and military general with a successful military career in his native homeland. However, he retired and became a monk at the end of his life, traveling to Greece where he settled, and founded the Iviron monastery on Mount Athos.
    The song follows the basic conventions of different styles of Georgian folk music, namely the gandagana and acharuli dance forms, many of them typical of the Adjarian region. These musical forms are defined by a triple metre and similar melodic progressions also found in neighbouring cultures. Traditionally, that is before the arrival of instruments due to Russian influence like the accordion, Georgian bagpipes were one of the main instruments in these genres, although we used a tsambouna here, played by Dimitris, to represent the Greco-Georgian musical fusion of the subject. The second instrument in use is the panduri, a Georgian lute played both melodically, and to provide basic chord progressions to the song.
    The final component is the usage of the famous Georgian polyphony, one of the oldest and most renowned uses of harmony in the world. Traditional Georgian harmony is characterised by drone harmony: a voice sings the fully fledged melody whilst other voices support the main vocals by repeating the same notes over a span of time, creating various harmonic intervals, usually based on fourths and fifths.
    The main chorus sings a passage from the epic Georgian poem: The Knight in the Panther's Skin, one of the defining monuments of Georgian literature from the Georgian Golden Age of the 11th and 13th century when the Kingdom of Georgia reached an unprecedented peak of advancement. It was written by Shota Rustaveli, now regarded as a national poet of the Georgians.
    Lyrics in Greek and Georgian:
    Απ' τα βάθη μακριά, απ' την Ανατολή, ah!
    Απ' τα βάθη μακριά Tα Άλογα με έφεραν εδώ
    Κατάγομαι από τα βουνά της ιβηρίας,
    Kαι τα βουνά τραγουδούν:
    რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რას არა დაკარგულია
    Mε έλεγαν εριστάβι, მეომარი
    Mε έλεγαν θάνατο, Tornike τοv κόκκινο,
    Kαι ξέχασα τα σοφά λόγια:
    რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რას არა დაკარგულია
    ნახვამდის თორნიკე πολεμιστής, τοv κόκκινο,
    ნახვამდის πατρίδα μου, ნახვამდის αχ βουνά μου!
    Tώρα ο δρόμος μου είναι ο δρόμος της αγάπης,
    Kαι ζω με αυτά τα λόγια των βουνών:
    რასაცა გასცემ შენია, რას არა დაკარგულია
    English translation:
    From the faraway depths, from the East,
    From the faraway depths, horses have brought me here,
    I came from the mountains of Iberia*
    And those mountains, they sang:
    "That which we give makes us richer, that which is hoarded is lost."
    They called me general, warrior,
    They called me Tornike the red-stained.
    And I had forgotten those wise words:
    "That which we give makes us richer, that which is hoarded is lost."
    Farewell Tornike the warrior, the red-stained,
    Farewelll, my homeland, farewell, my mountains,
    Now my road is the road of love,
    And I shall live by these words of the mountains:
    "That which we give makes us richer, that which is hoarded is lost."
    *Iberia here refers to the Georgian lands in the Caucasus, a name which was given to it in the West. It is distinct from the Iberian peninsula in Southwestern Europe.

      * "και τα βουνα (θα) κλιου (κλαινε)" = kai ta vouna (tha) kliou (klaine) = and the mountains (will) cry, is a more common saying, in my regional Greek dialect. But it is true that which we give makes us richer. Thank you for giving us this one, Farya and for the sound of my beloved tsambouna.
      Greek Song lyrics dedicated to you, Farya:
      Αχ, στην αρχή των τραγουδιών
      το αχ είναι γραμμένο.
      Είναι γλυκό είναι πικρό
      είναι κι ονειρεμένο.
      Αχ ‘σύ που φεύγεις, που τραβάς,
      που πας και ξεμακραίνεις;
      Ώρες, στα ρυάκια χάνεσαι
      κι ώρες, στα όρη βγαίνεις.
      Αχ, τα τραγούδια είν’ ευχή
      και πάρε τη μαζί σου.
      Στ’ αρώματα, στα χρώματα
      στις μουσικές χαρίσου.
      Ach, stin archí ton tragoudión
      to ach eínai gramméno.
      Eínai glykó eínai pikró
      eínai ki oneireméno.
      Ach ‘sý pou févgeis, pou travás,
      pou pas kai xemakraíneis?
      Óres, sta ryákia chánesai
      ki óres, sta óri vgaíneis.
      Ach, ta tragoúdia eín’ efchí kai páre ti mazí sou.
      St’ arómata, sta chrómata stis mousikés charísou.
      Ah, at the beginning of the songs
      the "ah" is written.
      It's sweet it's bitter
      it is also a dream.
      Ah, you who leave, who pull,
      where are you going and moving away?
      You get lost in the streams
      for hours and hours,
      you go out to the mountains.
      Ah, the songs are a wish (a blessing)
      and take it with you.
      In the perfumes, in the colors
      of music, give yourself.

    Tornike was a monk at Mount Athos when the palace asked him to aid Bardas Phokas in crushing the rebellion of Bardas Skleros. Having renounced his former life of violence, Tornike only relectantly agreed, under pressure by his fellow monks. After he completed his quest, he returned to mount Athos and founded the Monastery of Iviron ("of the Georgians"). It stand there to this day, although now it's inhabited by mostly Greek and Russian monks.

      May God allow the Greek brothers to appreciate the merits and good friendship of the Georgians towards the Greeks and in the history of Hellas and to return to the Georgian brothers all or at least these taken monasteries. This song was one of the clear bridges between these two nations. I think that those who have looked more or less into the history of Christianity and its protection, Georgians have made no small contribution to the world. Therefore, this step would bring these two nations closer together in Christ

    Tornike is simply one of the coolest figures in the era of the Bulgarslayer, almost like the retired hero who is only reluctantly called back to the field in some classic action movies. He already renounced the world and became a monk but at the insistence of Theophano, the basileus’ mother, took up arms again and decisively smashed the rebel Bardas Skleros with his friend Bardas Phokas at the Battle of Charsianon, saving the young Macedonian’s throne for the first time. Crazy to think that if he didn’t come with his army and Skleros succeeded in usurping, we might not have had the peak of the Eastern Roman Empire.
    Then befitting his awesomeness, he immediately retired as a monk once more, only this time in his own newly founded Iviron monastery on Mount Athos, which immortalized his legacy like this heaven-sent Greco-Georgian melody. Phenomenal work once again, Farya!

    A montibus Hibericis veni
    Ac ita montes illi canunt:
    "Quod a nos datur, hoc beatos nos facit, quod collectum autem, perditum est"
    Bellatoremque ducemque vocaverunt me
    Tornicum rubefactum nominavere me
    Ac excidere mihi verba haec prudentia:
    "Quod a nos datur, hoc beatos nos facit, quod collectum autem, perditum est"
    Vale, Tornice miles, rubefactus dux
    Vale, mi patria, valete montes mei

God is with us, but we people are getting away from him. This is the moral of georgians in 21st century. Im not saying that every georgian is this kind, its just majority is blinded from reality.
