- Epic Roman Music

You can buy this song and the rest of my music here: Music, lyrics and vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn’t meant to be reconstructed Ancient Roman music, it’s modern music with an Ancient Roman theme. I did however try my best to incorporate the sound of Ancient Rome in it: the pronunciation I sang this with is the Classical Latin pronunciation—the reconstructed pronunciation system of the city of Rome from around 100 B.C to 100 A.D, without however taking into account Latin’s stress accent or vowel lengths. The “bagpipe” like instrument heard at some points is the Greco-Roman aulos, these double flutes you’ve probably seen before in visual art of the era, and the instrument heard alongside it is an ancient lyre; both of these were commonly heard in Ancient Rome. The melody refers to the Dorian, Phrygian and Lydian Chromatic modes used in Ancient Rome. Sorry about the poor audio quality of this one, for some reason YouTube compression just hates this particular track. A higher quality version is available on Bandcamp.
