  • NEW ROMAN SONG: “Carrhae” • Carrhae 53 B.C - Epic ...
    You can buy this song and more of my music here: faryafaraji.bandcamp.com/albu... Music composed by Farya Faraji. Gaius Julius Caesar needs no introduction-I was inspired to write a modern symphonic piece in movements about his early life and his rise to dictatorship of the dying Roman Republic. The point of this one was to get a modern symphonic format whilst emulating the music of Ancient Rome itself, and I incorporated instruments such as the lyres and the aulos, as well as their modes and scales, and Latin lyrics, while also using modern compositional techniques like chords, counterpoint, and musical trumpets, although trumpets did exist in the period though not strictly as musical instruments.
    Lyrics:
    Sumus tertiadecumani legio gemina,
    Sequimur aquilas quocumque nos ducunt,
    A barbara Galliae silva,
    Ad Galliam caliginem,
    Milites Caesaris procedite!
    Sumus sextus legio ferrata…
    (We are the Thirteenth, Twinned Legion,
    We follow the Eagle wherever it leads us,
    From the forests of barbarous Gaul,
    To Gaul’s misty hills,
    Soldiers of Caesar, forward!
    We are the Sixth, Ironclad Legion…)
    Gallias Caesar subegit,
    Gallos Caesar in triumphum ducit!
    (Caesar has defeated the Gauls,
    Caesar leads the Gauls in triumph!)
    Aut Caesar aut nihil,
    Hic abundant leones,
    Hic sunt leones,
    Alea iacta est!
    (Caesar or nothing,
    Here the lions abound,
    Here are lions,
    The die is cast!)
    Senatus Populusque Romanus!
    (The Senate and people of Rome!)
    00:00 Youth - The Dying Republic
    03:50 An Insignificant Governor
    07:20 The Statue
    08:00 Rise
    11:00 De Bello Gallico
    14:40 Rubicon
    18:17 Civil War
    23:20 Dictator Perpetuo
    24:46 The Nephew

    Caesar, the conqueror of Gaul, Imperator, the last dictator. These titles were truly earned by this man for actions of doing his duty to the republic. He went form being a nobody to being the master Rome needed. He had the love of the people because he was the embodiment of their ancient beliefs. Although Caesar wasn’t able to finish what he started, Octavian surely made sure to see his legacy through and transform the republic into a stable empire. No matter what people said Caesar’s legacy lives on.

      Caesar was an opportunist and populist in order to gain personal power, not unlikely any other politician 2000 years ago or now. One person having unlimited power as Caesar strived to following the path Sulla blazed was actually quite opposite of Rome's traditional beliefs and norms. He was also a brilliant strategist and great man of course, but no need to glorify a version of him that wasn't real.

    My man, you did it again! This might even be better than Alexander's symphony, but that also could just be my taste. Interesting how at Dictator Perpetuo I expected even more glorious trumpets, but you used the same theme as for the last part of Roma, makes sense, after all, it is the fall of the Republic.
    With this you pretty much made all other "one hour of epic roman music" videos obsolete, here its half an hour of actually epic very roman music. 11/10
    It would be undeniably hilarious if there was a part which used the real "lyrics" of Ceasar's triumphal march, triumphal marches at the time were filled with jokes and profanities. I remember it being something like "we wasted all of your money in Gaul and are coming back to take more! Hide your wives, hide your kids, the bald man [Caesar] is back in Rome!"
    Edit: "The Statue" part is a reference to Alexander the Great?
    Edit 2: Rome theme (same part as inThe Fall of Constantinopole) in the Youth and Governor part because of course it is, this might be my favourite version of it so far
    Edit 3: A part of "Civil Wars" appears very similar to "Son of Ra" from Alexander, is that a reference to Caesar in Egypt?

      Yep you’ve got all the references! I believe the Alexander statue story was one of the most important turning points in Caesar’s life-it’s also poetic that Caesar as we know him was born the same age Alexander died. The Son of Ra leitmotif is basically my “Egypt” leitmotif as you said, and as for the epic trumpets, I’m saving them for Part 2 of this story: the Augustus symphony. I didn’t want to give too much of a conclusive climax feel to this one since it’s only the first part ;p

    The thing I absolutely adore apart from just the outstanding quality of music you put out is the continuity between them and the personality of the identities you create for the cultures you portray. I heard other Roman pieces here in the melodies, some Eastern Roman from Fall of Constantinople, and briefly bits from Alexander's symphony. The inheriting of practices and musical traditions (though at least partly conjectural on your part), is so beautifully executed. So very much worth the wait for this symphonic piece). Doroud!
