Aurelian - Epic Roman Music
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 2024
- Music & vocals by Farya Faraji, bagpipe by @Dimitrios_Dallas, aulos and syrinx by @stefanoskrasopoulis, with additional improvisations by the them, and translation by Demetrios Paraschos. Please note that this isn't reconstructed historical music, it's modern music using Ancient Roman instruments and the framework of their music theory.
Aurelian was a Roman emperor who reigned from 270 to 275 during the Crisis of the Third Century. Rising through the ranks first as a soldier and then as a general, he was hailed Caesar by his troops and took command of a divided empire on the verge of dissolution, uniting it all, which has earned him the title Restorer of the World.
The instrumentation consists of the Vergina model of the aulos, played by my colleague Stefanos Krasopoulis whose channel I highly recommend you visit for more music using ancient Greco-Roman instruments. He has also accompanied the melody with a syrinx, a traditional flute used to this day in parts of Greece, especially in the north. Dimitrios Dallas, whose channel I also urge you to visit for examples of Greek music, plays the askomandoura, an old bagpipe played to this day in Crete, and almost identical to the bagpipes used in the day by the Ancient Romans and Greeks.
The lyrics use Classical pronunciation and adhere almost completely to the vowel length and subsequent penultimate stress rule of Latin.
Lyrics in Latin:
Ex fīnibus vēnī,
Ex antīquā terrā Moesiae,
Ubi Sōl Invīctus lūcet,
Sanguis meus est sanguis Illyriae.
Mīles factus sum,
Sub calōre sōlis,
Cum equīs Dalmatiae,
Sanguinem Gothōrum effūdī.
Claudius mortuus est, et Quintīlius surrēxit,
Sed legiōnēs meae mē Caesarem nōmināvērunt,
Vīcī Quintīlium, usurpatōrem,
Factus sum sicut sōl in caelō.
Imperium dīvīsum vīdī,
In Orientem et Occidentem,
Zenobiam punīvī,
Factus sum Parthicus Maximus et Restitūtor Orientis.
In Occidentem intuitus sum,
Ad usurpatōrēs Gallicōs,
Illos totōs absorbēbam,
Ut leo ovem dēvorat.
Sīcut in caelō sōl ūnus est,
Ita in mundō imperium ūnum est,
Deus et dominus natus sum,
Cum meō sanguine et gladiō mundum restituī.
Servus Sōlis Invīctī sum,
Restitūtor Orbis sum.
English translation:
I have come from the frontiers,
From the ancient land of Moesia,
Where Sol Invictus shines,
My blood is the blood of Illyria,
I am the servant of Sol Invictus,
I am the Restorer of the World.
I became a soldier,
Below the warmth of the sun,
With the horses of Dalmatia,
I shed the blood of the Goths,
I am the servant of Sol Invictus,
I am the Restorer of the World,
Claudius died, and Quintilius rose,
But my legions named me Caesar,
I defeated Quintilius, the usurper,
I became like the sun in the sky.
I am the servant of Sol Invictus,
I am the Restorer of the World,
I saw an empire divided,
In the east and the West,
I punished Zenobia,
I became Parthicus Maximus and Restorer of the East,
I turned my gaze to the West,
To the Gallic usurpers,
I swallowed them whole,
Like the lion swallows the sheep,
I am the servant of Sol Invictus,
I am Restitutor Orbis.
Just like there is only one sun in the sky,
So is there only one empire in the world,
I am Master and God
With my blood and my sword, I have restored the world,
I am the servant of Sol Invictus,
I am the Restorer of the World. - Hudba

Thank you so very much for having me collaborate on this piece. It truly is beautiful! Well done Farya!!!
@@Dimitrios_Dallas Wouldn't have been able to achieve this amazing sound without your askomandoura magic my friend, thanks for collaborating!
Outra música maravilhosa Farya!!!
Obrigado por sempre fazer música em latim, língua de meus antepassados romanos, pai do Ocidente e da civilização Latina!!!
Those lyrics slap hard
@@faryafarajiGreat collab! Can you tell me, what is the instrumentation that begins at 4:48? Lyrics on pointe also! ✨️👑 ☀️✨️👏

Zenobia been real quiet when Farya dropped this. Cheers Farya!
Sure my emperor
Stavros Nika!
Greatings EMPEROR !!!
wtf who are you
Shit, now i'm the sword of which one?
Aurelian deserves a symphony
I agree... hehehehe
Agreed, but I think it'll be great if we get *_Edessa 260 AD Epic Symphony_* before the Aurelian one.

@@faryafarajiThis, this puts a smile in my face.

Aurelian Sigma Grind set
Praetorian Guard 😭
Those pretorians have blood in their hands...quite literally...
All in the span of 5 years...
Hear me out. "The Seleucids" by Farya Faraji. Combination of Iranian and Greek styles and languages, two styles that Farya Faraji is really really good at!
Make it happen
Good idea, though id like to see the afsharids or even shapur ii/khosrow parviz get some love
oh, hell yes!
Seleucids deserves a symphony
Speaking of hellenistic kingdoms, we also need "The Ptolemaics"
Ah Aurelian, without him rome will fall from first age.
Well the west fell just 200 years later
What a sad day it was when Aurelian died, even sadder are the thoughts of those who killed him after they realized what they did
He will live forever in our heart 😢
in sæcula sæculorum
Beat is poppin Zenobia’s droppin
Call the lads! Call the lasses! Ye myghte synger Farya Faraji returns! Alle hail hys bardistry!
I read that as bastardry🤦♂️
"The Kushans" Epic music by Farya Faraji. The extraordinary combination of the Bactrian language with Sanskrit and Greek would be cool to listen to.
alas, we only have one Faraji...
I'm waiting for Dabuyids since they were a Sassanid state in his home region
frr as a Sanskrit speaker, would be cool to listen to his rendition of this kind of Music
Agreed
Make farya see it

Restitutor Orbis my love
Beats "redditor lucis aeternae"
Honestly, same
@@Makaneek5060redditor mentioned
Restitutor orbis my ancestor🙏🏻
Quot magna opera facis! EVGE!
"Restitvtor orbis" (The Restorer of the World) is probably the best title one could possibly ask for. Seriously, can you imagine being remembered as that?
We making it out of the third century crisis with this one, boys!
the question is not how often i think of the roman empire. but how often i think of other things
Such are the times that are hopefully a rarity,
for they are most often folly.
Roma Aeterna!
Finally! The Restorer Emperor!! The restorer of the world!
Waiting for Caesar Trajanus fr!

This the type of beat you unite the empire to!

Ave Farya Faraji!
Greetings, Farya! I've been a huge fan of your music since you had 20k subscribers, and its amazing to see how far your channel has come, and I'm glad to be part of it. I'm so happy you did one about emperor Aurelian as he is one of the most under appreciated historical figures despite saving the empire, and his death is one of the saddest deaths comparable to that of Julius Caesar. Words cannot describe how much this man had done for the Roman empire and I'm shocked that there is no movies or TV shows made about him, but I am glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. Greetings from a fellow history enjoyer, and greetings from Algeria! :)
me too iam from algeria and i couldnt agree more with you about aurelian and iam so glad to meet an Algerian who enjoys history cause i feel like im alone for real
@@facile_tech7239 Greetings! So happy to meet a fellow Algerian who enjoys history as well! Its truly rare to find another Algerian who likes history which is a shame though since our country is ancient and filled to the brim with history with many great historical figures like emir Abdelkader, Jugurtha, Tariq Ibn Ziyad etc..... It was nice to meet you! :)
@@MarahTalksHistory do you have social media pr something we can chat
CZcams suggested this channel to me so I gave it a go and now I'm obsessed with the channel. :-) I love history, music, and especially traditional folk music. I've learned so much from your explanation videos. Thank you thank you thank you for giving us a deeper understanding of the history of music, with references and background so we can do some of our own explorations and listen to other artists that deserve attention. I can appreciate new compositions from movies and modern bands that have a flavor of tradition, but I appreciate them for what they are, not what they are not. Thank you for pointing out the difference and helping me better understand and appreciate the music for what it actually is. Not to mention you are an insanely talented musician!
No duduk? Really? How dare you make an Arabic-Persian-Roman video without an Armenian instrument?
SOL INVICTVS 👐🏻🌞
Roma invicta!!!
Saudações de um descendente de Roma!!!
Ave Avrelianus Imperator🤚🏻
270 A.D.
"It's just another usurper"
"Nein, its Parthicus Maximus servant of Sol invictus."
Música espetacular, OH ROMA, Pai do Ocidente e da civilização Latina!!!
Latim para Português, sua língua filha:
Eu vim das fronteiras,
Da antiga terra da Mésia,
Onde Sol Invictus brilha,
Meu sangue é o sangue da Ilíria,
Eu sou o servo do Sol Invictus,
Eu sou o Restaurador do Mundo.
Eu me tornei um soldado,
Abaixo do calor do sol,
Com os cavalos da Dalmácia,
Eu derramei o sangue dos godos,
Eu sou o servo do Sol Invictus,
Eu sou o Restaurador do Mundo,
Cláudio morreu e Quintílio ressuscitou,
Mas minhas legiões me chamaram de César,
Derrotei Quintílio, o usurpador,
Tornei-me como o sol no céu.
Eu sou o servo do Sol Invictus,
Eu sou o Restaurador do Mundo,
Eu vi um império dividido,
No leste e no oeste,
Eu castiguei Zenóbia,
Tornei-me Parthicus Maximus e Restaurador do Oriente,
Voltei meu olhar para o Ocidente,
Aos usurpadores gauleses,
Eu os engoli inteiros,
Como o leão engole as ovelhas,
Eu sou o servo do Sol Invictus,
Eu sou o Restituidor Orbis.
Assim como só existe um sol no céu,
Portanto, existe apenas um império no mundo,
Eu sou Mestre e Deus
Com meu sangue e minha espada, restaurei o mundo,
Eu sou o servo do Sol Invictus,
Eu sou o Restaurador do Mundo.
I think that by far this is the best roman music farya has made, it has a "folk" thing that makes it more realistic and familiar
Aurelian is my favorite roman emperor . He ruled not very long but he do more for Rome than any emperor had done. Soldier Emperor servant of Sol Invictus
10/10 would unite the empire again!
Played this in my latin class, my teacher LOVED it! Thank you!
Edit:Omg your music is famous in the school now!
AVE RESTITUTOR ORBIS!
@faryafaraji I am recently more seriously studying music and I can't explain how much helpful and inpactful your content is for educating the world on music concept lost that are so rich. It's fun how some of the rithm or musical concept found today to be prograssive are either a use or reinterpretation of lost musical concept and rithm of the past. With preserving those ancient music and re-educating the community with the history how you do, I believe you are providiing a great service to the world. I totally support your talent and your purpose and I believe you are the cure for the poison the modern corporation are spreading to the radio hits (same as Believe Music) that take possibly talented artist and say: "there, this is the script, 3 notes, 4/4 and high pitch with no sense lyrics". You are actually dedicating actively to save music as its true form of art. Thank you 🙏
Your voice is like a beacon in the darkness. It can lift any soul from despair, and bid it to dance, and it will obey. Your talents in music, and the multitude of languages you sing in, are a gift beyond comprehension. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us.
Brilliant Farya, yet again amazing work 👌👍
Farya, you are a genius archaeologist of ancient cultures, and a shaman who lived in ancient times and came to our day on a spiritual journey.
Gorgeous! Ancient music is a balm to my soul. Thank you for this wonderful interpretation. 💖🙏
Beautiful, what a team!
I will vibe to this for Sol Invictus 🌞
Fantastic! You should consider making one for the Samanids and Saffarids too. It could be an opportunity to explore the transitionary state between middle and modern Persian 😊
Playing CK3 and restoring Rome with this bang
Farya Faraji releasing a new banger, this is a good day!
Damn another one already. Aristoxenos must be on the olive oil this week
I learned by earth all your roman songs, time to learn another one! Cheers from Italy
fell immediately in love with Farya's roman songs when my friend recommended it to me. This song did not disappoint
Farya, a fan here. Absolutely beautiful work: reminds me why this is my favorite channel. Would you consider composing a hymn for the Legio IX Hispana?
Eu já havia pensado nisso. Seria sensacional.
A true Roman masterpiece of musical art!
(I know it’s modern).
Daym i got sunstroke from this song ☀️☀️☀️
Good one!
The one composition we all wanted, delivered and brought to life. I personally love how, at least for me, the music has a bittersweet, yet glorious, sound to it, denoting the sheer acomplishments of the man, and the tragic shortness of his reign. ¡Salve, Farya!
Definition of GIGA-CHAD
I really love the parts when the wind instruments and singing go high pitched. Gives that really happy and hopeful sound. Like a beam of sunlight after a night's storm...
🌞💛
Another banger, farya ❤ love from México
Babe, wake up Farya just dropped new roman music!
Restitutor Orbis magnus erat. Semper est
Voy a ser honesto, grité como una niñita cuando vi el título, alabado sea Sol! Voy a seguir escuchando hasta desmallarme o vomitar, lo que pasé primero.
Gracias por una piesa de arte tan maravillosa.
The carnyx, and especially the aulos, are my two favorite instruments in the Greco-Roman repertoire. In all your songs, like the "jarring" (as some people would put it) procession in SPQR, or the various military marches, all have a place in my heart. Though, Longinus Sdapeze and In Numas Time (my all time favorite) takes the cake definitely. Between your guys' works and the music group Synaulia, I can't get enough of that instrument.
Oh, this might be my favourite of the Roman songs yet. The way the melody floats, yet still holds power...beautiful work! Wonderful as always, Farya!
My friend, it would be great pleasure to hear a symphony of Ramses, Amenhotep or Thutmose, the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt since your symphonies are truly fascinating. I am looking for it. I believe you can do it.
Glória ao imperador Aureliano, O Restaurador!!!
Glória ao antigo Império Romano, Pai do mundo ocidental e da Civilização Latina!!!
Ave Glória, Ave império!!! Saudações de um descendente de Roma!!!
🇧🇷
Uma das maiores alegrias que tive esse ano foi encontrar essa fonte de arte, o conteúdo musical do (Farya) é esplêndido.
Saudações Camarada!
Ave Mitra Sol Invictus!
@@lucasmunizalvesdecastro2001 estou acompanhando ele faz uns 2 anos, o primeiro vídeo que vi dele foi o S.P.Q.R!
7 minutes of the blissful sounds of Rome restored by the chad from Mazandarān! Love the longer length of this one, the epic subject, lyrics, scale utilized, amazing instrumention by all involved, and your excellent vocals. Haud invītus auscultō hanc musicam tuam pulchram, ut semper! Vōs plaudō! 👏
Thank you my friend!
@@faryafaraji Il n'y a pas de quoi !
I dont know how to express it. But beside obvious awesomeness of this piece it is... authentic ? i do not know how to say it, I feel like it could be played 1700 years ago in same fashion
Some aspects are authentic; I rooted this in actual known Roman musical practice like the instruments, the general melodic line, but there's also implementation of some modern elements, like the low drone across the song.
I do have reconstructiond of Roman music in my Roman playlist if you want to compare
I just discovered your channel a few months ago, within a DEEP history rabbit hole. Since, I have chosen you as my one allowable heterosexual mancrush. Consistently, you release videos that illuminate my window to history, and also keep me from repeating some layman's pitfalls. Your videos are thoughtful, informative, and entertaining. On top of it all, you provide ancient jam sessions. One of my favorite content producers. Thank you!
May the gods send you health and fortune.
Instantly liked - then listened.
Just know any Roman music by Fariya (any music to be precise) is an instant banger
Ave Sol Invictus 🌞
I think your channel had about 8k subs when I first heard your music and fell in love. It's lovely to see your channel boom and bloom. Endless love from Iran.
Farya i'm really beg you... Please the next is Mehmed II, Sulaiman the Magnificient, Richard The Lionheart and Baldwin IV
Another beautiful song added to the list. Thank you!
OH, NO WAY ANOTHER ROMAN BAANGER
THIS TIME FARYA COOKED OMG
Awesome piece as always!
This is pure art, Farya, I've been your fan since I Am Cyrus released, it is absolutely gorgeous, and the music has its own characteristics!
Nice nice very nice song, please can you put the subtitles on the song like you did in justinian and can you upload more songs to spotify?
And again, really nice work
I like your Music so much. The Roman and Byzantine Music is my favourite Music. I hope you will make also a symphony for Trajan, the Optimus Princeps
I'm spanish and the traditional music in my moms village sounds exactly like the beginning
De cual parte? Galicia o Asturias?
@@iberius9937 Jajaja de Burgos. Me recuerda muchísimo al sonido de la dulzaina
@@iberius9937Me refiero a la combo gaita + dulzaina
I hope this is on spotify by Friday, my playlist was waiting for this
This is amazing guys; great work.
This song gives me goosebumps, it's just perfect!
May Sol Invictus light your way to victory.
When Farya releases a new banger music, you know it is a good day.
Farya please put some of the newer songs (+this one) to spotify 🥹🥹
Beautiful.
Really enjoyed this.
I kinda expected it would go : "Restitutor Orbis sum - AURELIANUS", but this is good too 😅
Need a Edessa 260 a.C and need a Constantine I Symphony.
1) I am Constantine.
2) A Divided Empire
3) To Italy
4) Constantine's Dreams, In Hoc Signos Vinces.
5) Battle of Milvian Bridge.
6) Only a One Emperor.
7) Founding of Constantinople
8) Council of Nicaea and a Cathedral in the Holy Sepulchre.
9) St Helene.
10) A End of an Era.
My suggestion to a Symphony about Constantine I the Great, called St Constantine I the Great by Eastern Orthodox Church, and only Constantine song, are very old (very good but old).
This and a Symphony about The Battle of Navas of Tolosa, in July (Battle has in 16 July of 1212), would be a great symphony (as all of your songs, are perfect) and has very but very few songs about Spain.
This Battle marks a before and after, al-Nasir (called in Spanish Miramamolin) called a Yihad in all Mosques of Almohad Caliphate to march with their camels until drink water in Tiber River in Rome, if Spain been lost this battle, now Europe was much different...
Great Works makes Farya and Greetings and Great Huge from Spain 🇪🇦
Another Roman masterpiece
What a great surprise for the end of my day
Thanks to all that make your beautiful music possible ! Much love from Bulgaria ❤
imagine an Epic Symphony about the Crisis of the 3rd century. one of my favourite periods in Roman history, and all the musical styles from the various peoples involved, from Germany down to Syria
Man, an Aurelian music makes me want a Constantine simphony so much. Great job Farya Faraji.
Please we need all of your songs on spotify , i wanna make a
Playlist out of them
The Civil War of 260-275 AD can generally become the source of a number of musical works: for example, you can create music about the Gallic Empire, with a mixture of Roman and Celtic styles.
I knew you would make this! I do believe I suggested it over a year ago but I am glad to see it now.
I love this!
It's just so beautiful and epic, what a masterpiece! You sir got a very magical talent! 💛🔥
This is amazing!!!
لذت بردم فاریا جان 👌👌👌
Ave Sol Invictus!
Farya és sublime.
farya why have you stopped making songs about persian kings? we need more of them, and i’ve actually waited for aurelian😊 you are underrated just like aurelian and you deserve more recognition❤
He just made one five days ago
I had never considered Roman Music before!
2 things: epic song, I really love latin, also, I am learning it, so it's very helpful
Second; about "si habra en este baldres":
I finally understood the leather thing. Talking with my grandmother the other day, she told me a couple of things about my grandfather, and how he used to have a lot of 'levanté' (in terms of relationships), and she said, 'but now they don't give him the LEATHER,' (it's a phrase I also use occasionally, but until now I didn't pay attention to it), and finally, I understood the meaning of making a reference to leather in the song. I suppose it's something that didn't stay the same in all territories of ancient Spain, but at least in my country (Argentina), that connotation remained for that.
I commented the second thing on the video, but i really wanted to you to see this. Sorry btw
The phrase "ya no le da el cuero (leather thing)" in the sense that he can't get it up anymore. PP
Wonderful song, and congratulations for 200k+ subs.
Restitutor Orbis 🗿🦅
YESSS I WAS HOPING YOU'D DO IT!
