Avgvstvs - Epic Symphony
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 06. 2024
- Music composed by Farya Faraji. This is basically the "sequel" to my previous symphony on Caesar, and completes it as "Part 2" of that story. Just like that one, the goal here was to utilise the format of long-form symphonies to tell the story of the rise of Gaius Octavius, who would become the successor to Caesar, and ultimately, the first Emperor of the Roman Empire. The music is fundamentally modern, but utilises primarily Ancient Roman instruments and aspects of their music theory, such as their modal framework, like in the strong presence of the chromatic modes of Ancient Roman music, so think of this as modern music with an actual Ancient Roman musical emphasis. The instruments used are the ancient lyres, aulos, pan flute, drums, cymbals, along with modern orchestral sounds.
Leitmotifs used:
• Caesar's Leitmotif: from Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar and Hymn of the Legion
• The Republic's Leitmotif: from SPQR and Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar
• Rome's leitmotif: from Roma, Fall of Constantinople, Carrhae, Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar, Constantinople: Queen of Cities and Nineveh
• The leitmotif of Caesar's legions from: Hymn of the Legion and Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar
• The Egypt leitmotif: from Alexander and Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar
New leitmotifs composed for this are Octavian’s and Mark Anthony’s.

I just noticed that at the end of the Ides of March, you can hear exactly 23 "bangs" indicating the 23 stabs on Caesar's body

Guys! Guys! Listen!
In the last seconds of "The idea of march" you can hear several drum beats, just before "Caesar's farawell"
THEY ARE 23 BEATS! The exact same number of times that Caesar was stabbed during the Ides!
Farya, you're a genius!
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Ты великолепен! Я бы не понял этого, если бы не ты.
And the way the beats progressively increase in speed. As if many of the assassins were hesitant at first, but found the "courage" to do it after their peers had started. Awesome compositional detail.
@@blakeprocter5818 Excellent observation!
And the least beat being the hardest, most dramatic - "Et tu, Brutus?"

“Have I played the part well? Then applaud as I exit.” -Emperor Augustus
The first known written record of the quote dates back to the 17th century, more than 1,500 years after Augustus' death. The quote may have been invented by a playwright or poet as a dramatic way to end a performance or poem, and it is possible that the attribution to Augustus was simply a way to give the statement more weight and authority.
It is worth noting that Augustus was known for his fondness for theater and poetry, and it is possible that he may have made a similar statement at some point during his reign. But truly we might never know.
Courier: "I was in the 19th Legion with Varus in Germania, Caesar..."

Don't worry, we have many parents in this world, even the world itself are our parents. That's why some people called it mother nature or the fatherland.
Let them nurture you, be a better father than him, and who knows, your child or grandchildren might someday be a future emperor
@@Ken-cu7cr"Motherland" and "Fatherland" are just references of heroism, great deeds and patriotism of our ancestors that people aspire to be like.

I remember learning about Augustus back in ancient history class in high school. One of the few ancient leaders remembered for his political savvy and administrative abilities rather than his conquests.
Interestingly, he was one of the emperors who conquered the most land for Rome.
@@raynusgremont3664 I thought Trajan was the Conueror. Unfortunately, Hadrian couldn't keep the gains made, and decided to consolidate what he could. Which was still a lot of land. It was also probably the best thing to do by then, because the empire was already a bureaucratic nightmare, can't imagine how worse it would have been having to contend with tribes in Dacia and the Persians close to the Mesopotamian border.
Octavian during his rise to power: "I will restore to Rome the ancient moral virtues that once made it great..."
*Some years later*
Octavian: "IS THERE ANYONE IN ROME WHO HAS NOT SLEPT WITH MY DAUGHTER?!"
You should read Augustus by John Williams. Its historical fiction, but the characterizations are based on historical sources. It’s the story of Augustus’s life from childhood to the end of his life. It is written in the form of letters to other people. The point of views are of his friends and enemies( Maecenas, Agrippa, Antonius), and their perceptions of him. It also includes Augustus’s own thoughts at the end of his life and reign.
@@djohnsones2501 It was a great book, actually. I personally consider it a great "I, Claudius" spin-off
The story isn't done yet, Farya didn't make a segment about Varus not giving back the legions.
There is no better way to start the day,
than to listen to a new composition of Farya Faraji, vir deōrum. 😌
Just in a few days knowing him, he became my favorite musician, he is an absolute genius.
@Farya Faraji, would you be interested in doing an epic symphony for Aurelian? The man did so much in just five years to save the Roman Empire from collapse, only to be put down by the machinations of a lowly officer scared of the emperor's severe policies against corruption.
Yes!!! Also musics for Marcus Aurelius.
Well he just released aurelian a couple weeks ago and it looks like we're getting a symphony in the making soon 👀🗿

The Caesars farewell part is absolutely wonderful
Last night I did a binge listen to all your Roman songs and destroyed my sleep, I promised myself I won't do that again for a while. And now this comes out... well, I have to listen now...
I, The Emperor of The Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhaolie, say that this is yet again, another masterpiece. Once again, it captures the emotions, the tense feeling of the period describe in each piece, and paints an image in one's head.
@TOFEK GAMER Ah, my time had since passed. I only hope those like yourself learn of my failing and successes, and use them to succeed in your own life. May your days be bright, and your story as widely remembered as you desire it to be.
Hope your brothers don’t die.

Farya. I am not that literate in the world of music, but if I can call this small part of 10 seconds from this timestamp a crescendo - it sounds absolutely incredible. Masterful.
The last stand of the Republic: Optimates trying to pose as heroic one last time
Wish there was an hour long version of Caesars Farewell. The changes are just too amazing. Truly has great feelings mixed into it. Both celebration and loss all in one.
In your recent video on viking music and misconceptions, I had said, "I'm waiting patiently for a Augustus song or symphony." Perhaps I've been gifted by Apollo with sight of the future this once😂.
And its an absolute triumph of a symphony.
Third music really fits for an Age of Empires game
Whats your elo?
You are the best at making Roman and Byzantine music, we appreciate the hard work and effort put into these masterpieces.
You said Roman twice.
@@rfkwouldvebeenaok1008 ehh I guess but there were definitely some changes after the Western Roman Empire fell
@@brisketandsomeribs9706 There have definitely been changes, territorial, cultural, linguistic, religious, and political but it definitely still was, in its own right to be the unbroken continuity of Rome, Rome.
The fall of the Western Roman Emperor and his courts only caused the established diarchy in the Roman Empire to become a monarchy again. Rome survived the crises of those centuries full of misfortunes, but for that it had to abandon its origins, a New Rome came with it, but it was the direct continuation of the Old and glorious city that Romulus created.
@@raynusgremont3664 That’s what I was saying, it’s still Rome but there were some differences for sure.
Only Roman.There was never amything "byzantine"
This is amazing, my friend! Roman culture is unique.
Every time, when I think "That's it, he won't make it better or more interesting" - you make me wrong.😅
Greetings from Armenia, one of the ancient neighbors of Persia🇦🇲🤝🇮🇷

The Roman Republic/SPQR theme was the first of your compositions that the Algorithm recommended to me, and has been stuck in my head ever since. I catch myself humming it now and then; this new symphony includes bittersweet takes on that beautiful leitmotif. Feels like a great companion piece to the Caesar one, which foreshadowed Augustus' theme in its very last notes. Its superb to see it fully deployed here. Well done, as always!
9:49 Wait.... *googles to check* Bravo, Farya. Well played.
Well caught my man
Exactly what I thought, 23 times :)
I really like The Last Stand of the Republic with the pipes and the chanting SENATUS POPULUSQUE ROMANUS! Beautifully follows the Caesar symphony, well done.
I just noticed that the sequence starting at 9.50 represents the times Caesar got stabbed
Its Saturday night again and just like every saturday night i turn off the lights, open this track in playloop and just think about my life.
Meus parabéns Farya, pelo trabalho excepcional.
saudações de um descendente direto de Roma e de seu legado, Ibérico-Brasileiro!!!
Br por aqui
Awesome, I was waiting for that sequel on Julius Caesar.
The moment I saw The Ides of March in the chapters of the video I began hoping you’d somehow signify the number of times Caesar was stabbed
And then you did it!
I love the touch of the final part being piano, to bring us back to the fact that you are telling this story in the modern day
Amazing catch! I counted exactly 23 beats on the drum when I checked the time stamp 😳
The last track gives me "Forever" vibes, by Jeff Van Dyck. Don't know if it was intentional. As always, wonderful work Farya!
Man that track is one of the all time influences on me growing up, Van Dyck’s soundtrack for Rome 1 as a whole is but that track specifically is like 50% of why I do what I do haha
@@faryafaraji Man, I could hear the Van Dyck influence. I played Rome Total War nearly every day ages ago. Damn, so that's why your music sounded so familiar and at home!
Caesar's Farewell is hauntingly beautiful. I would kill for an extended version. This work is amazing.
You're about to hit 100k subs.. the first time I saw your channel it was about 34k subs and I thought this channel is like all the other channels that appeared to me whenever I search for Roman music or turkish music.. I thought it's not getting more famous. the thing that made me take a look on this channel is when you hit about 44k subs in a short period *as I remember* and guess what, I found almost everything I wanted to hear and now you're working faster that's awesome Farya.. I guess this is the first time you got 144 Comments in 7 hours... that's amazing dude the past videos didn't get that much comments in 7 hours.. I was seeing like 30-60 comments..
Ayoo new Roman banger just dropped
Can’t believe I missed this release since I love your Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar symphony
this genuinely gave me chills. Farya always knows how to throw out the bangers.
Amazing piece of work Farya, I think that Hannibal Barca deserves a symphony like this too.
Absolutley agree with it!!!
yeah
Thank you for your wonderful piece of music Farya. It has come at just about the right time.
Greetings from Athens, old rivals, perennial friends. Consider creating a long track to pay homage to the city of Athens and its colossal contribution to the Western Civilization. It would have to be overly simplistic yet indicative of the grandeur of the city. And in many ways, similar to this one as far as musical instruments are concerned! With loads of lyra and flute, I suppose! Have a nice day!
Superbum esse Romanum 🥰
💪🦅SPQR
Been waiting a solid year for this and man did you deliver!
Love these longer mixes, just perfect ❤
Am about two weeks late but just wanted to say how awesome and epic all your symphonies are! Ave Augustus, can't wait for the next piece!
Oh lord, Farya! This is by far my favorite theme you composed. And I thought nothing would beat the previous ones.
This is just so perfect! I love the ancient instruments you've used. I can't get enough of this masterpiece.
Thank you!
I'm just going to say it, you make the most beautiful music i know. Thank you for all your work, you truly honour history!
I already can tell that this will be superb
*_Another outstanding symphony about Rome's first Imparator I adore it and would want to hear a comparable symphony about the Persian Shahanshahs._*
@@AryanXvaday Why does he sing against her people? It's just stupid bro that you are saying it.
Beautiful symphony, great work! It hits differently after listening to your piece on Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar.
Amazing work as always, thank you Farya for keeping it free! Ave Augustus Ave Caesar!
Another flawless melody! Thank you Farya Faraji
The long form symphonies you make are my favorite works of yours; I feel like they really do tell a complete story, rather than just a small historical vignette.
Bravo Farya !!! ton travail est extraordinaire ! merci pour toutes ces magnifiques musiques !
At the end of Ides of March, the drum sounds 23 times, like the amount of stabs, pretty cool
"I've been looking forward to this", Great way to start my day by listening to part 2 of my favorite Symphony and about one of my favorite Emperors of ancient Rome. Great job Farya as per usual 👏
Farya, my goodness... Always in awe with your creations 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fantastic! Farya, your music helps me to overcome depression. Thank you very much!
I don't think there is anyone I know that can tell a story through sound like you farya, thank you for this great great peice❤
Praise the infinite! For he has composed yet another masterpiece!!!
Wow Farya Faraji you've been spoiling us with Roman music, please keep this my friend
You're a saviour Farya!
I'll be listening to this while studying Latin, just like I did with your Ivlivs Caesar piece last year! Thank you!
Nice detail with the 'stabs' at the Ides of March by the way ;)
What? How did I not notice that
My favorite emperor of all time. Thank you for making this.
An amazing Symphony for the top dog himself! Augustus!
great work as always Farya!
This is really awesome glad i found this channel, tons of content!
Mate there´s no one like you. Keep up with the good work, there´s a lot of people here who love it, and I´m one of them.
Everything you do is a piece of art!!!
Be well Farya Faraji, much love from Brazil!
I love the piece and it's amazing, but I really wanted to say that I super appreciate the listing of the leitmotifs in the description on this one. I'm not a very musically-inclined person, but seeing some of the work that went into the piece and having something(s) to listen for within the piece has made me really appreciate not only this piece but symphonies in general. I've been binging a lot of your other pieces just trying to get to a point where I can remember and hear the leitmotifs as they come up in this piece and Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar to better understand the story being told. All because the description gave me a helpful starting point. I initially came here looking for Roman-ish music to replace a bunch of music in a Sims game that I've modded out with Roman stuff, and I've ended up with a new favorite artist. :)
Imagine a symphony for Nero, it will be an instant burn
SO GOOD. Thank you Farya for bringing us all this fantastic music :) Seriously, have this on constant loop and it's just an epic masterpiece.
Thanks mate! Really enjoyed the last vid on the two gunpowder empires!
@@faryafaraji Cheers was a compilation with of some older ones but ill do you proud on Shapur II who is up next in Sassanid series.
King Farya just dropped a new masterpiece 😎Ave!!
Mark Antony's leitmotif/theme is a real banger. Perfectly encapsulates a "martial, haughty, sophisticated political man of the world" type of character. Splendid work with this one, sir, that I am still a few minutes into as I type this.
Farya, you never disappoint!
Wow, I think "the ides of march" is very characteristic. It gives you an idea of sadness, since the lyres are played in a very profound way. I like also the part where you alter the notes very qickly while you still follow the original republican music, it seemed like mournings and weepings. It also includes some immaginative scenarios of trechery and evil plans. Very creative as always, Farya!
ALMOST At 100k mate keep up the great work🙌
15:00 Eis um som jus literal à : "Honra, Glória, Vigor e Pontência" 🌿🦅🌿
More Rome, please! This is wonderful to my ears! 😍 Rome's battles are fantastic, same like your work and soundtrack!
The "civil war" segment is genuinely epic.
Gaius Octavius or Augustus was a great man!
AVE AUGUSTUS!✋💓
Respect to you Farya. Your stuff is good.
My morning commute has been blessed by the eternal glory of Rome. Thanks Farya. Love you❤
I have been searching these days for a good symphony to listen. I have found instead something truly remarkable.
Another masterpiece from Farya!
Coming from someone who is currently reading SPQR from Mary Beard I have to say Bravo! This will be my soundtrack for the rest of the book! Ty for this brilliant piece!
Finally... You can't even imagine how long I waited for it ..
The final part of the symphony reminds me a lot of your Rome song that used more of the piano, most likely a coincidence or not, but it gives a feel of showing what was previous where now you draw more to the historical instruments or close too.
I was waiting for this!! So excited!!
Fascinating to think that you somehow brought bits and pieces of Roman music back to life. I imagine Roman music sounded fairly similar to this albeit your music has a modern twist to it. I also hear blend of the Middle East.
I love your channel so much. thank you.
Thank you for this masterpiece
Civil War is just mind blowing, i love all of it but this one is amazing
That fine addition of bagpipes really caught my attention. Also, the voice is hoarser, raspier, and perhaps harsher than the sonorous hymning in the hymn of S.P.Q.R., as it is rightly so.
Keep them coming brother! I don't know what it is but, I learn languages better through song than from books. It helps to hear the pronunciation as well as the musical style that accompanies it. Both tell you a lot about the culture they come from. Peace be upon you.
I have no doubt that Farya Faraji is the worthy successor of Jeff Van Dyck. The emotions that his works produce in me remind me of when I was a child and played rome total war, with that particular mixture of emotion and suspense, heroism and struggle. I will always be grateful to have discovered this great artist. Per aspera ad astra⚔
