Music and vocals by Farya Faraji, lyrics by Gaius Valerius Catullus. This another one of my attempts at conveying a historically accurate sound of what Ancient Roman music would have sounded like based on the known facts. In my opinion, the best place to start for reconstructing their music is the poetry: Ancient Roman poetry used the interplay of long vs short vowel lengths and stress accent to create rythmic effects to the poetry, not unlike modern rap does. This gives us a direct insight into some rythmic structures preserved by the phonemic quality of the language. Therefore, I based the structure of this song entirely on the recitation of the poem, and simply added musical notes to the pre-existing rythmic skeleton, using what they called the Phrygian Diatonic mode (which is the equivalent to today's Dorian mode), and building the instrumentation around my reconstructed Greco-Roman lyre, frame drums, ancient cymbals, and a pan flute, all of which were in use back then. Knowing that poetry was often recited musically, I believe this example to be one of the most plausible possibilities of what their songs may have sounded like. The pronunciation used is Restored Classical pronunciation, which is the same pronunciation Catullus himself would have used. Catullus is one of the great Roman poets of the late Republic, who wrote in the Neoteric style, a style that was somewhat rebellious for its day in contrast to the established norm, since the Neoterics purposefully moved away from the epic scale of gods and heroes rooted in Homeric poetry, and instead embraced more personal issues like personal love, or an artist's identity. This poem, which we call Catullus 5, like 24 others, is devoted to a certain Lesbia, widely believed to be Clodia Metelli, a Roman aristocrat. Latin lyrics: Uīuāmūs mĕă Lēsbĭa. ātque ămēmŭs. rūmōrēsquĕ sĕnūm sĕuērĭōrŭm ōmnēs ūnĭŭs aēstĭmēmŭs āssĭs. dā mī bāsĭă mīllĕ. deīndĕ cēntŭm. deīn mīlle āltĕră. deīn sĕcūndă cēntŭm. deīnde ūsque āltĕră mīllĕ. deīndĕ cēntŭm. deīn cūm mīlĭă mūltă fēcĕrīmŭs cōntūrbābĭmŭs īllă nē scĭāmŭs aūt nē quīs mălŭs īnuĭdērĕ pōssĭt cūm tāntūm scĭăt ēssĕ bāsĭōrŭm English translation: Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love, and let us judge all the rumors of the old men to be worth just one penny! Give me a thousand kisses, then another hundred, then another thousand, then a second hundred, then yet another thousand more, then another hundred. Then, when we have made many thousands, we will mix them all up so that we don't know, and so that no one can be jealous of us when he finds out how many kisses we have shared.
That is really sweet and beautiful for an Ancient Roman poem. Thank you for sharing and creating this beautiful poem/song. May I ask how you are so proficient at so many different instruments? I am a Woodwind player and it took me years to master 3 instruments (Saxophone,Clarinet and Oboe) is there a technique that you use to master them? 👍
Farya, your Manzikert symphony would be superb if you included a part similar to the last stand in Thermopylae, but about the Varangians fighting to the last after Romanos fled.
I wish you the best of success for the months to come as your subscribers rise and monetization skyrocket. Can you do more Ancient Roman Music in the way of religious contexts?
This was the first Roman poem I ever had to translate as a school assignment. I still have it memorized. Even across the sea of time, it is still emotionally charged and passionate. Bravo! I think it’s another perfect performance from Farya Faraji,
Farya, I have a Latin Test in 2 Weeks about Catullus and this is one of my favorire poems by him. Thank you for making the studying easier, Fresko/Tapestry-Man
Great voice. You have to admire the pronunciation. It’s the most authentic there is. Even the retracted "s" is on point. It is as if a real Roman is singing.
Nice work Farya! I prefer this kind of daily life/cultural songs rather than the epic ones. History is not just battles and generals, but ordinary people with ordinary lifes too.
I am a law student and these days I am studying for my Roman law exam. Thank you Farya Faraji, for all of your work related with Roman Empire (including Byzantium), it helps me to better understand and visualize the times that are long behind us. God bless!
@@freddekl1102I agree with you, before Iustinianus and his codification it was a chaos. But, they were working from case to case in ius civile vetus and in classical period, there was no need for law system as we have today. Their style of practicing and learning worked excellent....
This man can become a Persian, a Roman, A French Crusader, a French Renissance Jacques Sparrow, a Greek singer, etc I wonder if we'll see our esteemed ancient singer of the world, Farya sing Ancient Egyptian Songs? I would love to see Farya in Ancient Egyptian cosplay (Bayek of Siwa style) while singing the songs of the glorious land of Khemet
Unfortunately, Egyptian music is so much stereotyped with actually Indian and Arab Middle ages music thanks to Hollywood that genuine Egyptian music is difficult to portrait. However, there's plenty of frescoes to borrow from.
This is the poem that my Latin teacher back in 8th grade used to teach us how to chant! I still recite it in my head sometimes, it feels so good to hear it...
Amazing work Mr. Faraji, you give great honor to my ancestors, the people whom your ancestors had fought against, it is absolutely amazing and the more you make songs the better it gets, you show us quality music and great talent that improves overtime. Excited for your next Byzantine music
That is so cringe to still categorize people over so-claimed ancestries, just because you live in an area ruled by an empire that has been defunct for over a thousand years doesn't mean you belong to it culturally at all
@@ansfelt8154 I don't claim my origins based on the place where I was born; I claim them because I identify with an idea of equality and integration. Rome is not just a physical location; it represents an idea. I am aware that Rome has a history of brutality and has committed unforgivable acts, especially by today's standards. However, I want to remind you that Rome has also presented a significant example of equality and culture. I believe that if we embrace a modernized Roman thought, it could assist us in uniting as a species rather than as separate nations. To me, all those who are willing to identify as Romans are Romans, regardless of their place of birth or religion.
@@filologic066 >equality and culture what you believe in is humanism and secularism friend, not some distant imperial states ideology, the idea of rome was never equality of cultures.
@@avgvstvs7 The idea of Rome, in relation to its time, was much more open and free compared to many other realities. Contrary to what many believe, Rome was not like Nazi Germany or Mussolini's fascist Italy. Rome was certainly imperialistic, but during those times, all states were imperialistic. The point is that we must contextualize what Rome did at the time it did it. I want to remind you that among the long list of Roman emperors, there were also emperors who were Arab, German, Greek, Gaulish, and so on. Furthermore, Rome was also willing to peacefully integrate a population, not to mention that when Rome conquered new territories, it didn't act like European nations, but rather invested in those lands, creating new centers of trade and socio-economic growth. Moreover, the power of Rome did not solely rely on its military strength but also on its ability to establish coexistence with the locals. It is worth mentioning that unlike many others, the Romans granted citizenship to all those who inhabited the empire (although it happened much later in Roman history), in times where no other nation even considered doing so.
This is actually so cute. I always had a general view of Catullus as that one guy who made poems of various degrees of perverseness, but your vocal and musical interpretation of this particular one remind me that instead we should remember him primarily as someone who was just hopelessly in love with someone he would never get any affection from in return. Thank you Farya.
A lovely performance. You made me get out my old volume of Catullus' poems which happily is a bilingual edition translated by James Michie. These performances transport me back to ages that the fascinated me when I was a child learning how to read. Thank you for keeping the spirit alive for me and others like me.
I've been busy the last few days, so I knew your new music was uploaded, but I wasn't able to listen to it. And now I regret that few days gap. How wonderful it would have been to have such wonderful music in those days! Thank you for your wonderful music.
I was taught that in Catullus’s time there existed a superstition that, if you knew how many times lovers had kissed each other, you could curse them. So, here the speaker tells his lover to kiss him so many times not even they know the number 😜 ♥️
@Selevkius Thank you! You too. To me, this superstition sounds like it was conveniently invented by hormonal adolescents to convince each other to kiss 😂

Farya you may want to take a look into Indonesian history, such as the Srivijayan, Mataram, Majapahit, etc. They have a rich history that you can get inspiration for music from, plus there's a ton of Indonesian that would love to listen to your music

Amici, let's just stop for a moment to think how wholesome it is:) His country is basically falling around him and sinking into massive political crisis and My Boy Catullus is just singing joyfully about love❤
As always excellent work there Farya, a new roman song from you exactly at the 570th anniversary of the Fall of Constantinople... coincidence? Maybe, but I don't think so ;)
Yay! Thanks for this, and although Coptic is not Roman, Global Coptic Awareness day is coming June 1-3 where we interact with our visitors with food, storytelling, music, etc. and I'm so happy I can access your videos when I don't want to have a full blown jam session with my Coptic friends.
Beautiful, simply beautiful, with a rhythm both catchy and relaxing. Have you considered making something like this with Medieval Italian poetry? I think you could make a very good song from Dante or Cecco Angiolieri, or maybe from Saint Francis' Canticle of Creatures. If you prefer to stay in Antiquity Sappho's Ode to Aphrodite would make a very interesting music, maybe with a female singer.
And all reclining guests, upon hearing such singing, raised their full cups to their host, smiling at his great Fortune for having returned from his campaigns in the East with such a handsome, young bard worth his weight in gold.
I didn't know I was 1/4 Italian until I decided to find out who my dads (he was adopted) parents were. That was a year ago, it's nice to hear the kind of music my ancestors would have heard.

English translation:
Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love,
and let us judge all the rumors of the old men
to be worth just one penny!
Give me a thousand kisses, then another hundred,
then another thousand, then a second hundred,
then yet another thousand more, then another hundred.
Then, when we have made many thousands,
we will mix them all up so that we don't know,
and so that no one can be jealous of us when he finds out
how many kisses we have shared.
That is really sweet and beautiful for an Ancient Roman poem.
Thank you for sharing and creating this beautiful poem/song.
