Sounion - Ancient Greek Music

Music by Farya Faraji. This is an attempt at a historical reconstruction of Ancient Greek music based on the information available to us. Information on Ancient Greek music can be found in my Epic Talking playlist, alongside academic sources.
The main instrument used here is an approximation of the Greek pandoura lute, although the model I have uses nylgut strings (artifical gut strings that are nylon based) instead of the historical gut strings that would have been used back then, which alters the timbre of the instrument.
The melody is an improvisation using the Dorian Diatonic mode (now called Phrygian; the names were swapped in the Middle-Ages), and the Lydian Chromatic Mode.

    • I wonder, is it possible to get tabs for this? I’d actually like to figure out how to play it on an electric guitar or even a bass guitar.

  • I never would have thought to accurately call Farya's lute playing as "gutless and artificial" and also mean it as a compliment.

  • It's amazing that Nearya Nearaji got to convince Aristoxenos Diabetikos from 469 BCE to record this composition for us. Truly one of the great heralds of genetic memory.

  • I don't usually enjoy lute solos without lyrics but goddamn this is getting a spot on my playlist when it gets onto spotify. As usual, music that makes me hurt from vibing along. p.s. I was wondering if you could make a Northern Berber themed song, especially as their musical traditions are pretty similar to Greek and Arabic traditions, and as most of the chants and hymns they recite (called izlan) are deeply romantic and/or nostalgic and can present a bittersweet eloquence at times.

  • I love your Middle Ages music, and I love your Renaissance music. I also love the early Modern Balkan music. It's all fantastic. But it's when you cover the era of Antiquity that really, truly excites me. Be it Roman, Greek, Iranian or beyond. I think it's because so precious few artists attempt to authentically recreate music of this period. It's very special.
