30 Minutes of Relaxing Ancient Greek Music

Music by Farya Faraji. Some original compositions by me, and also includes an improv on the Song of Seikilos from Ancient Greece. Please note that except for the Song of Seikilos at the end, these aren't actual pieces from Ancient Greece but original compositions I made in the style of the era's music; so take the historical accuracy with a grain of salt. The instruments are all from Ancient Greece, but I played certain melodies that wouldn't have existed back then, as well as employed harmony and triads that didn't exist. Still, this should give a general idea as to the sound and feel of Ancient Greek music, but not a hyper accurate one.

At the shores of the Aegean, in 380 B.C., in a salt making village, on the beaches of the Island of Skyros in south eastern Greece, you sit there, at night, star gazing.

When we traveled to Greece and visited Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon several years ago, we visited at day break when the sun was rising. We were the only ones atop the hill, although there was a woman taking a morning swim along the beach and singing a song down below. The sound of the waves, the wind, and her singing was so tranquil, and this music reminds me of that amazing moment. Thank you so much.

I can feel the warm sun on my face and breathe the gentle sea breeze.

Reading Homer's Odyssey to this. Ty for compiling such solace bringing sounds ^.^

I’m in the middle of a book about Alexander the Great and I wanted some background music. So I decided to listen to what he might have been listening too.

What a great decision.

This music reminds me of the holiday i had with my parents when i was six years old. We were on holiday in Crete it was 50° and we were not able to enjoy the holiday in any way.

I remember the sand on the beach was scorching hot and the children in the villages fried eggs on car hoods.

I also remember drinking my first glass of goat's milk and sugar-sweet grapes from wild bushes. Once I stood on my back in the sun for too long and my mother was able to peel my skin afterwards.

But overall this holiday was truly an experience I will never forget and I realy miss Greece.

This music is fantastic - Historical authenticity makes it so authentic and real to me . You can really imagine this being played in Ancient Greece and it being possible that similar pieces were played due to your knowledge of the types of notes used at the time. Well done!

A Persian here and listening to this rich beautiful music from our ancient neighbor : )

[spunkytay]

Currently studying ancient Greece for a history class and have this going in the background. It's just perfect and setting the mood :)

Listening to this while writing an essay on Socrates. Much love, from The Academy!

Love listening to this while studying, especially the background noise like the waves hitting the beach with the cicadas. That’s literally what summer in Greece sounds like (outside the city of course).

[ΠαναγιώταΚαραγιάννη-ψσ]

Wonderful!!!!Απλά υπέροχη μουσική.
Περηφάνια και μόνο για τους προγόνους
μας.!!!

[greek-fx]

[LeonardVIII]

εὖγε, ἀρέσκει μοι σφόδρα ἡ σὴ ἑλληνικὴ μουσική...

[liapapas]

As a Greek my self I really enjoyed this. And for those that can vibe the breeze the sun and the cicadas..yare all welcome to our country.

[vicvroomvroom]

I've never heard this type of music before, it's calming, I like it

[ltdwlbl]

Original music that doesn’t loop every 10 minutes! Subscribed!

You sir are a world class musician. I especially enjoy the second to last melody beginning at 22:51, it’s very melancholic, yet peaceful and mesmerizing. I’m a history teacher and amateur historian playing this while studying the Peloponnesian War. I can imagine weary men listening to sounds like this on a quiet summer night as a respite from war, the moon glistening on the sea. Thanks for creating this!!!

[MikhailNietzsche]

Listening whilst reading the Iliad and the Odyssey. Feels like I’m there in Ilios amongst the Trojans. Love it.
