Music composed by Farya Faraji, and featuring instruments by Dimitris Athanasopoulos, Ilias Vlamakis, Ilias de Sutter Ndavidlis, Gökhan Saraç, Izet M, Carmel Abramovitch, and Latin translations by Demetrios Paraschos. A massive shoutout to Ilias Vlamakis for allowing me to use his lyra recordings. Please check out his amazing work at Cretan Lyra Lab: kzread.info/dron/RZ1_Xp1e_MAdgOpXXYAOLQ.html This symphony tells the story of Eastern Roman emperor Justinian I, using the musical language of modern Greek music and its Byzantine medieval antecedents, both secular and liturgical. The soundscape consists of a wide variety of instruments: the oud, kanun and lyras, which served as the central trinity of Eastern Roman court music in the 1000's to the end of the empire, ancient instruments going all the way back to Antiquity and still played today like the tsambouna and mandouras, and folk instruments like the tambouras family of lutes and the kaval flute of northern Greece. The melodies are based on the compositional and performative practices of liturgical Byzantine and Old Roman Chant, regional folk music such as Cycladic, Cretan, Pontic, Thracian Greek music, etc, with the exception of passages dealing with other cultures than the Eastern Romans. The chapter "A New Cathedral" is not my own composition and is a lyra rendition of the traditional Orthodox hymn Xristos Anesti. The chapter "Theodora's Malady" is not my own composition and is instead a 16th century Greek composition by a Greek Orthodox monk called Vatepodinos the Younger, played expertly here by Ilias Vlamakis of the Cretan Lyra Lab channel. The lyrics are written in and pronounced using Classical Latin for convenience: it is not representative of how Latin was spoken at the time. Note that I also ignored vowel length and stress accent frequently for this symphony. 00:00 Overture : I am Justinian 08:20 My Empress 13:42 The Reforms 19:20 The Shadows Over Me 25:32 Nika 35:26 The General 40:00 A New Cathedral 44:00 Renovatio Imperii: Part I 58:54 Renovatio Imperii: Part II 1:06:12 Belisarius' Crown 1:12:24 The Weight of Dreams 1:16:00 The Two Eyes of the Earth 1:29:26 The Plague 1:34:12 The Empress Reigns 1:39:12 Theodora's Malady 1:42:00 Farewell, My Queen 1:47:30 Time 1:52:12 A General's Farewell 1:57:14 Legacy 2:00:50 Death

Amazing work Farya! I was under the impression that it would be a long time before you'd assemble all the required melodies to create a symphony for Justinian, and yet the size and scale of this symphony is truly a spectacle! Well done! As a side note, could you perhaps write the lyrics in the description of the video? You used to do this with the older videos, and while it's nice that you show the lyrics on screen, it would also be great if you could have them written down in the comments or something.

Farya, what is known about ancient Greek dance music? Judging by the images on the vases, music was quite dynamic.

Justinian would have never imagined that a millenia and a half later an Iranian would compose a two-hour long symphony in his memory.

You are right about that. During the 70's there was a Greek Television series called 'Πορφύρα και Αίμα', 'Porphyry and Blood' centered on the life of the emperor Romanos IV Diogenes.

At first I thought I hear greek music because it sounds like greek music, but the words are so close to ROMANIAN language that I can literary understand them, then it hit me, this is LATIN, and not Greek! The similarities are outstanding: Unus est Deus(Latin) - Unul Este Dumnezeu(RO); Dominus Deus(Latin) = Dumnezeu(RO) = God(Eng) Unus est Imperium(Latin) - Unul este Imperiul(RO) Filius romuli sum(Latin) - Fiul lui Romulus sunt(RO) Spes Aeneae sum(Latin) - Speranța lui Eneas sunt(RO) Augusti Succesor sum(Latin) - Succesorul lui Augusti sunt(RO) Imperator Romae sum(Latin) - Împăratul Romei sunt(RO) Justinianus Sum(Latin) - Iustinian sunt(RO) Leges Novas Imperio Meo Dabo(Latin) = Lege nouă Imperiului meu dau When it says: "Patre Nostri" all I hear in romanian language is "Părinții Noștrii", it's literally the same after thousands of years with small changes which are due to how the language evolved over time!

Belisarius part of Nika slaps harder than my dads belt, the part is so good that deserves a separate video. Love to Iranian God of music.

This is a blessing to every lover of the Eastern Roman Empire. For such a long piece of art, it is only suitable that a comment should also be as long to express how much I admire the symphony. I am Justinian: the choice to introduce Justinian with Old Roman chant could not have been more brilliant, it is so symbolic of his character (the desire for rapprochement with Old Rome) and the nature of his era. My Empress: lovely to hear the Theodora Empress leitmotif again! The Reforms: The Empire of the Romans leitmotif playing as Justinian reforms that most Roman of things: The Law! Love the call back to Nineveh. You got your wish Justinian, Roman laws do rule the world now thanks to the Corpus. The Shadows over me: is that a Greek version of Sons of Mars, YES YES YESSS Nika: the rhythmic chanting of Nika is terrifying and only quelled down with Theodora and Belisarius’ theme, just like how in real history it was Theodora’s persuasion and Belisarius’, uh, riot control, that saved Justinian’s throne. I also love the color puns for Belisarius’ lyrics. The General: for some reason this version of the Belisarius theme just hits hard, but in a different way from the bagpipe version which is more epic in nature. A New Cathedral: Christos Anesti but played on Cretan lyra is so soothing, and it fits thematically! The Hagia Sophia was built upon the ashes of an old church burned down by the rioters, in a sense it has risen again. Renovatio part 1: Gothic lyrics as well! What language are you not able to master and incorporate into your masterpieces? Dico vade vince, Belisarie! Where you go, you see, you conquer is so much cooler than veni vidi vici too, Belisarius was such an excellent general, he definitely walks in the footsteps of Caesar and Trajan, even exceed them in some aspects. Renovatio part 2: Narses love! As the last Roman general to get a triumph in the city of Rome, I think he can definitely be called a son of the Capitoline wolf. Belisarius’ Crown: This is the first time I’ve heard a symphony in dialogue form, and I adore it. Especially a dialogue between 3 languages! And of course Belisarius remains loyal and treats the Goths of Ravenna like the Nika rioters. Smh Justinian how could you even doubt. The Weight of Dreams: oooo haunting The Two Eyes of the World: the Sassanid section is so beautiful. With all the focus on the West, Justinian forgot about the East, so it’s only natural that one of the most epic and regal pieces in the symphony springs suddenly from his archnemesis Khosrow. I have been craving for more Roman-Iranian crossovers since the Nineveh symphony, please do more like them!! The Plague: this is the stuff of horror movies, just silently creeping up and decimating the Romans and Persians. The Empress Reigns: the most epic version of the Theodora Empress theme, almost has a vibe like the soundtrack compositions of ridiculously high budget movies/TV shows. Theodora’s Malady: I’m still surprised a monk wrote a piece about Theodora. You can always find the best compositional gems throughout history, and again Ilias’ Cretan lyra really hits the spot. Farewell My Queen: so gloom and sad, goodbye Theodora, you were a legend 😦 Time: Time, in its irresistible and ceaseless flow carries along on its flood all created things, and drowns them in the depths of obscurity, to quote a certain Komnenian princess historian, but Justinian’s deeds are not drowned out, and we still remember them 1500 years later. That’s why I think it’s cool to hear a bit of that Constantinople leitmotif (although maybe I misheard?), to remind us of how long Justinian’s achievements endured. A General’s Farewell: slowed down Belisarius theme without all that energy and power from earlier and him reflecting on his life is so depressing, truly the era of Justinian is ending. Legacy: mixing together previous themes with Justinian’s Old Roman chant is gorgeous omggggg, worthy of his legacy Death: I love how Justinian sees the old heroes of Rome among the stars, truly may he Rest In Peace in their company. This is just a general overview of what I love from each section of the symphony, to go in depth one could write an essay. You have done Justinian and his marvelous era great justice Farya, and I think the Emperor himself would highly appreciate the tribute.

I think that playing all those Roman themes along with the main "Roma" theme is a great depiction of how strongly Justinian was dreaming about restoring the unified Roman Empire with all glory it had in the past, and "Our Father" played in The Reforms section is a sign that he would see the Christian Faith as something perhaps dominating in the character of this restored Empire.

Being remembered 1 millenium and a half after for his life and legacy must be a honor and a privilege. I'm pretty sure Justinian would feel deeply grateful and honored for this marvelous homage.

The sheer fact that we heard the "Our Father" sung in both Byzantine Lithurgical fashion and Gothic Lithurgical fashion is worth appreciating, as it denotes that the Goths, the "Barbarī" whom Belisārius so relentlessly fought, were also Christian and therefore had something important in common with the Romans,which never ever before took place.

Thank you great Farya Faragi! This is the best video on your channel! When I first heard Justinian - Epic Symphony by the talented Farya Faragi, I was stunned. This is not just a piece of music; it is a journey into the very essence of the Byzantine Empire, a resurrection of its spirit and power. Every note of this symphony awakens in me the feeling of being transported back to the time of the great Justinian, feeling myself part of this majestic civilization. I become Byzantine - a true Roman, feeling every historical thread that Faragi masterfully weaves in his work. Tears of happiness fill my eyes as I listen to this symphony. In these melodies, I find comfort and strength to fight against my ailment that is testing my soul. This music gives me power and hope, reminding me that even in the darkest of times, there is light and beauty. And I trust that Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Justinian himself will be with me, giving me healing, strength and protection. This faith, like the melodies of this symphony, strengthens my soul and fills it with light. "Christ is risen - Byzantium will rise too!" - these words resound in my heart like an echo of the great past, promising hope for a future full of light and Orthodox greatness. I would like to add a request to the talented author Farya Faragi. Your Justinian - Epic Symphony has had a profound effect on me and I would be eternally grateful if you could share the lyrics.

@@ghalilaelsimanjuntak6886 yeah, a basil symphony with the quality that farya have in now days would be incredible

This piece must be a gift from God. Studying for medieval history exam has never been so climatic Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my friend!

I cried like a little b*tch at 1:55:00 Fare thee well, Belisarius

Et leges romae terram regent. And the laws of Rome will rule the Earrh. And it was as is. The ius civilis, the ius gentium, the constitutiones and the digesto rules all the world. Justinian was the builder of the world. What amazes me is how this composer who has it’s own cultural background, is able to show all us the power of history and the power of research.

@22:32 This has to be the most beautiful yet epic re-do of your OG Roman song, Farya. I remember you once described it as “balls to the wall fantasy”, which is true, but by both all the Old Gods and the new One God, I wish I could one day become 1% as cool as you dude. Love ya 🫶🏻 Edit: it goes without saying but the entire symphony is jaw-dropping!! The start of Belisarius’ cameo is definitively another favorite of mine. 👌🏻

In which video he states that?

I especially love how you used the melody to the Paschal troparion “Χριστός ἀνέστη”, for the track “New Cathedral” at 40:00. As an Orthodox Christian, I absolutely loved this. What a genuine masterpiece this is in its entirety. Many in the comments have noted that it is like a film score. Now, I don’t know about this rather mediocre-looking “Napoleon” film that just came out, but I know one thing; if they ever produce an epic biopic of Emperor Justinian, you had better be the one and only person they employ to create the score for that project. Because, as far as I am concerned, you are the only one that could pull that off. You continue to be my favourite new musical artist, Farya. God bless you and may He bestow upon you even greater success in the near future. ☦️🙏

Yeah. There is a reason why they won't produce any epic on Justinian or any one after him. And when they do promote those that are made it is from the Ottoman perspective. And no, Farya shouldn't get involved with Hollyweird or its derivatives. He should stay free.

@@miastupid7911 Oh, absolutely, I’m well aware of this. I just meant if, hypothetically, there were ever an accurate epic biopic produced independently about Emperor Justinian, Farya’s music would surely be among the best choices. Unfortunately, unless someone based enough with a lot of money makes this a top priority, it will probably never happen.

28:40 The whole context of the song is incredible, but this part is out of this world.

JUSTINIAN! My emotions now don't give enough JUSTICE to what I feel now, 2 hours? The best 2 hours of my life

Just finished it all. Feels like I just came out of the cinema

I still come back to this symphony every once in a while to let my emotions overflow and cry listening to these stories.

I really liked how you did Christos Anesti in the New Cathedral movement of this symphony. Very well done! I appreciate your work!

The reed part that begins at 45:25 is absolutely heavenly, I can't can't stress enough how I love these instruments. Such power and emotion!

What a blessing that has come upon us Finally Justinian gets his piece

First the Janissary and now One about the life of St. Justinian? I absolutely love these Character based symphonies! Amazing work!

Man, the ending..The Queen, the General, legacy and death made me cry...

Это волшебно! Наблюдать за трансформацией империи, за изменением в языках и вере, наблюдать как старое угасает, и рождается что-то новое, как изменилось население Римской Империи и их языки! Хвала тебе Faria Faraji! Это просто прекрасно!

3 days and its my 43th time to listening😍
