Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar – Epic Symphony



NEW ROMAN SONG: “Carrhae” https://youtu.be/QcYVqhMlsQY

You can buy this song and more of my music here: https://faryafaraji.bandcamp.com/album/voices-of-the-ancients-vol-ii 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

  2. Not all men rise to greatness and become carven stone in the annals of human history. But we should never forget the names of the men or women that do achieve that honor.

  3. Every time I listen to ancient Roman Music I remember…

    Meditation Music. Important to gather energy. Before a fierce Battle for Glory! fight for Roma! Reverse Roma! Amor Love! Romulus and Remus was just a legend! That's the truth! Roma Amore!

  5. does anyone else noticed the part when the flute's sound which appears at the end of the symphony "alexander" sounds?. It is kinda like a sign of Caesar becoming "a new Alexander" so to speak.

  6. В тъмна нощ и безслъчнчев ден
    Вярвам в тебе и мене и светлината в мене озари цялата тая непрогледна тъма показа ми пътя и по него вървя с вяра защо ли защото видях че дявола е истински колкото и ти и видях мнозина заблудени са уви ти знаеш кой кога и къде и знаеш че не всеки за жалост ще бъде спасен и зная в тъмна нощ и безслъчнчев ден вярата ми в тебе ми показа пътя
