- NEW ROMAN SONG: “Carrhae” • Carrhae 53 B.C - Epic ...
You can buy this song and more of my music here: faryafaraji.bandcamp.com/albu... 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

Absolutely fantastic piece once again! VEry beatiful and hearing this sends chills down my spine.
wait a sec "not strictly as musical instruments" what were they used for then???
@@someone-wo5nu Mostly for simple military calls and signals, in the same way that war horns aren’t really musical instruments
Amazing bro wait til they hear out collab for my Caesar album
@@coldsholda Gonna blow their minds haha, can’t wait for it
07:35 weeping at the statue of Alexander gaining +10 to charisma and gained *presence of the emperor* perk when commanding in the field.
True to caesar
I am a simple man, I see roman music, I click
A fine gentleman of culture, I see. Cheers to that!
Also, Faraji's work is simply out of this world
@@tabularasa_br I found him last year, one of the best historical music channels on UA-cam
Me too
@@yeetusdeletus8204 I agree!
"Alea iacta est." -Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar
_“Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once”_ - Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
Definitely subscribed my man !
18:12 The power of that moment Caesar finally crosses the stream and utters "The dye is cast" is incredible
*The die is cast. As in the singular of dice. "Welp, I've rolled the dice" in more casual contemporary English. He's crossed the point of no return now, either his coup succeeds, or he's defeated and executed as a traitor.
Caesar truly was the first gamer@@digitalbrentable
“Centurion! Something more cheerful!”
"Gaius Julius Caesar needs to introduction..." Neither will Farya Faraji one day! This was really unique and nice to give it chapters corresponding with stages of his life/career. Bravo and thanks for sharing!
I think you mean "needs NO introduction"*
Get down on your feet the grammar police are at your door
YOU need no introduction, my friend! Great to encounter such a familiar face! Love your channel, Cy!
Correct your grammar immediately sir.
Oh God please fix that 'needs to introduction'
I've heard Hymn Of The Legion so many times I can actually sing along the instrumental....
You arent the only one
Lmao , same.
@@rumenoff974
Could we join the Legion, then?
@@Briselance Sure.
@@rumenoff974
Optime, amice mi.
Though the empire might be dead but the spirit of the great wolf that grasped half of the world will live forever.
Absolutely astounding! Imagine being Caesar in the 1st century B.C not knowing that more than 2000 years from now his life will be chronicled in symphony by one of the most talented composers currently on UA-cam... it truly takes my breath away just imagining it. Amazing job as always Farya!
Caesar become one of those kind of men that their name has archive to survive the rust of time. Just like Alexander Magno or Leonidas and a lot of other warriors of other differents cultures like Lu Bu.
Imagine if he had known that when he shed a tear in front of Alexander's statue, not knowing that he would join him in immortality one day.
If Caesar knew that in more than 2000 years his life would be chronicled in symphony by one of the most talented composers currently on UA-cam his first reaction wouldn´t be happiness or proudness,but words ,,What the hell is UA-cam?!"
@@tefky7964 For real.
@@blazecrep7849 Yeah.
I loved the dueling between “Hymn of the Legion” and “S.P.Q.R.”
Especially during the Rubicon section with the conflict within to the Republic or to Caesar and his ambitions!
CLASSICAL LATIN PRONUNCIATION, OH MY GODS, IT'S BEAUTIFUL
It's powerful and beautiful but I think there's a grammar mistake. He sings "Svmvs sextvs legio ferrata" but the correct one is "Svmvs sexta legio ferrata"
I like the fact that the Alexander symphony plays when it gets to the statue, Caesar admired the greatest.
Mate you’re a real one; got that reference, cheers
The Civil War part is just so brilliant. It combines the S.P.Q.R song with Hymn of the Legion, and I think it's kind of poetic to mix two songs with different intent respectively and named it 'The Civil War.'
17:35 to 18:14 brought tears to my eyes.
The Lions and the Senātus Populusque Rōmānus going back and forth in the struggle for power, until the decision is made to cross the Rubicon, and “The die is cast.”
Absolutely incredible moment in history and this music. Roma Invicta.
That part is awesome Also the fact that Ive listened to these songs almost everyday and now to see them this combined. Beautifull
@@carthagodelendaest9068 literally all I listen to these days. Fantastic music.
I literally got goosebumps just by reading your comment Josh whoaa
I haven’t heard about a faction called The Lions before. Who were they?
@@EvanGlobal You should listen to "hymn of the legion" to get this, it is referred to Caesar's legions
The first minutes brought so many great themes from previous songs...
Κύριε ελέησον... senatus populusque romanus...
Caesar, the conqueror of Gaul, Imperator, the last dictator. These titles were truly earned by this man for actions of doing his duty to the republic. He went form being a nobody to being the master Rome needed. He had the love of the people because he was the embodiment of their ancient beliefs. Although Caesar wasn’t able to finish what he started, Octavian surely made sure to see his legacy through and transform the republic into a stable empire. No matter what people said Caesar’s legacy lives on.
No, he was betrayed and then assassinated by the senate. Then the senate went about ensuring the eventual collapse of Rome.
Caesar was an opportunist and populist in order to gain personal power, not unlikely any other politician 2000 years ago or now. One person having unlimited power as Caesar strived to following the path Sulla blazed was actually quite opposite of Rome's traditional beliefs and norms. He was also a brilliant strategist and great man of course, but no need to glorify a version of him that wasn't real.
@@TheDeepestbluest Yeah all of those are true but i'm pretty sure even the Romans believed Caesar was THE Roman centuries after.
Hes never been a nobody he came from a nobility familie de juno descendent of verus a 'god'.
@@maestrovici1947 yeah and his family meant nothing when he was born also being banished soon after cause of sulla and his connections to gaius marius
Hey did anyone notice 21:06 is the Egyptian/Cleopatra part of Caesar's life
I noticed that
@@g.n.k.8681 I meant It's Ancient Egyptian Music, you know, 48 BC.
Came here for my daily reflection on the Roman Empire. 💯
Nearly every man a live wants to walk the path of Julius Caesar. Hail Caesar forever and always.
Hail my brother 💪🏻

Hope we get to see more tracks inspired by more Roman generals or Emperors. Great job!
Imagine how badass Scipio Africanus or Germanicus inspired music would be?
A song for our last heroes like stilicho and aetius

And if we include the Byzantines, oh man…. Belasaurius would be a hell of a track
@@weloveTM123 you have been 🙂
Veni, vidi, vici
I came, I saw, I conquered
The 'Insignificant Governor' movement of this incredible symphony reminds me of countless hours spent on the campaign map in Rome Total War, and the ambient music that played. I've been listening to your tracks since "Sons of Mars"; keep up the wonderful work! Alea iacta est!
Super good comparison, Jeff Van Dyck’s soundtrack on Rome Total War is one of my biggest inspirations :)
I mean this in the most whole hearted and least creepy way but I fucking love you man. Your music brings ancient culture to life and as someone who’s spent the majority of their life studying that stuff, I appreciate this
Beautiful, it perfectly encapsulates the life of Caesar in a musical form, this is a prime example of story being told through music.
Mahoney are you a fellow American Monarchist too? God bless! :)
@@liberty.b.r no I am not
Truly resplendant of Rome and the final dictator of the Republic. Were I to visit Rome one day, many of your compositions will be on my playlist for touring the ancient city.
Superb work as usual my friend!
Thank you!
You know I wonder what an actual Ancient Roman would make of this amazing music if he were to listen to it
Would be a fascinating thing
@@MedjayofFaiyum He'd probably be thinking "how am I supposed to enjoy this music without people in silly costumes acting out Julius Caesar's life in front of me? This isn't right!"
@@nathancollins1715 haha
YESSSS MORE ROMAN MUSIC!
I bet both Pompey and Crassus are punching the air rn
Lembra da batalha entre Aníbal e Cipião ? Grande batalha .
This is absolutely beautiful. I am obsessed over ancient Roman and Greek ever since moving towards Stoicism.
Complete larp
"You too, Brutus?"
"The Ides of March are come"
Ave Caesar! The greatest roman general.
It is a tragedy that this has sat in my recommended tab for months and I only just listened to this magnificent composition yesterday. Utterly fantastic
Ave, Caesar.
Caesar himself would be honored by the tribute of this art of music.
I'm honored😌

Ten thousand bonus points for *nailing* the pronunciation of "Alea iacta est"!
This is a masterpiece.🎶I'm listening and I'm crying , because it touches my soul.
Maybe Gaius Julius Caesar lived thousands of years ago, but because of your music, it feels like it just happens at the very moment.
And maybe he was murdered, but Gaius Julius Caesar shall never die.🐺🏛🦁
Please listen to the "Alexander" symphony made by this great artist too I'm sure you'll like it more than this
@@Shahanshah101 I have listened to "Alexander" and other music by Farya Faraji. But, for me personally, I like this symphony the best.
But anyway, thanks for the recommendation.
AVE GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR, DIVINO E IMMORTALE, LA SUA GLORIA VIVRÀ PER SEMPRE, VENI VIDI VICI 💪💯
Romano popolus won't never forget the empire that thrived in their names we are here still
Ave Caesar
18:14 is my favorite part. I get chills.
Typo: "Gaius Julius Caesar needs *to* introduction" in the description and pinned comment.
Amazing composition, all the same! Thank you for sharing.
Ooops thanks for the correction!
Очень люблю историю и ношу имя Юлия. Спасибо за великолепную атмосферу😘😘😘
I'm no longer living in Bulgaria after listening to this masterpiece now I'm in Trakia
hello fellow struggler. In today's day and age, we all have our own battles to fight, but i want you to know 3 things that just might change your life. The first and arguably most important is that God loves you, and you are not alone. The second is that you should never lose your ambition. And the third is to always love yourself in all your imperfections, but strive to be perfect, as he is
Discovering Thomas Bergeson, the musicians HDSounDI introduced and Farya Faraji made me realize that the great, super-high profile classical musicians didn't die in the 1800s, they just evolved into humble, normal-looking millennials/gen Xs you don't even notice at first when you're walking in the street...
...until you discover what they're capable of, once they can get behind a screen. Fucking hell.
The greatest Roman to ever live
The vocals in the "Rubicon" section, aptly bring out the clash between the two major factions, during the dying days of the Republic; with the vocals symbolizing the Populares eventually winning out... Ave Caesar !!!
The Populares are less vocal, silent even, in the beginning; with the Optimates drowning them out. But as Caesar grows, so do the Populares' vocals, until the Civil War (Round-2) breaks out
You got it exactly!
@@faryafaraji thank you for confirming
Love your music, especially Byzantine and Persian themed ones
Greetings and well wishes from an avid listener from India
@@653Rohan Thanks my friend and greetings from Canada
Salve, Rohanus V!
Do you know why Roman Centurions were terrible at hide and seek?
Because no matter where they hide, there was always a centurion yelling, 'Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant!'
No centurion said that sentence. Those are the gladiators in the arena during empire's times.
Admodum mihi placet musica tua , Fariya utinam di te adiuvent !
Incredibilis !
This " Alea Iacta Est " blown my mind, no wonder why its the more replayed part !
Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant!
Are you travelling in time? Have you Just invented a time machine? Wow, ancient Greek, Roman, old turkic, Slavic.. WTF? My respect 🙏
best mix ever, all my student in history know about you.
Hearing this music, I was wondering how these great emperors are made of . These people are one of a kind. How come a human being could possibly become so powerful that their single word can be impacted to the whole world. What’s the secret behind their legacy. ❤
Mi más profunda admiración y respeta Cayo Julio Cesar, Salve Cesar!
Ave, explicituded!
Wonderful as always! Keep it going :D
Just beautiful, We wait the same with augustus
The thing I absolutely adore apart from just the outstanding quality of music you put out is the continuity between them and the personality of the identities you create for the cultures you portray. I heard other Roman pieces here in the melodies, some Eastern Roman from Fall of Constantinople, and briefly bits from Alexander's symphony. The inheriting of practices and musical traditions (though at least partly conjectural on your part), is so beautifully executed. So very much worth the wait for this symphonic piece). Doroud!
Addendum: the inclusion of Alexander's Son of Ra, easily one of the best parts. Effortlessly blends into the rest and instantly recognisable. I'm telling you, you fucking nailed the whole identity through leitmotif thing.
@@dannymarashi Thanks! I’m glad you got the references, especially the “Egypt” leitmotif
Seriously the most underrated and inconceivably talented channels I've ever seen. I wish I could subscribe a thousand fold.
The absolute gall of those who dare call him a tyrant.
Real
I mean, he was a dictator, an oligarch and an imperialist... but I see what you mean and agree 100%
@@BartlomiejDmowski Dictator, yes, Imperialist, for sure, Oligarch? he was specifically fighting against the oligarchy and pushing for policies that limited their monopoly and returned their stolen assets into public ownership so
@@noodlxs Well, I was thinking about the times of Triumvirate. Wasn't it a pact of three oligarchs who de facto ruled and controlled Roman politics despite the Senate's and the entire legal system's existence?
Caesar's conquest of Gallia wasn't an official war - he did it on his own, like a private businessman. And greatly enriched himself with it
That said, I greatly respect and like him
I approve this
This is mastery, but damn it, the Civil War Part... that is divine... Divus Iulius Indeed.
This is how I imagine music would be if the Roman Empire was still a thing
Chad music.
I always found ancient Roman history and culture interesting, but it got even better with this symphony, it's really nice to listen to these symphonies while reading articles.
Ave true to Caesar savior of Rome!
I can picture Caesar with his laurel wreath, head high, as he is paraded through the pomerium during his gallicia triumph ❤
What a wonderful music!!
The low choir, light cymbals and processional melody two minutes into this opus is very fitting for Caesar as high priest (Pontifex Maximus) of Rome in his time.
That freaking Alea Jacta Est call, is something supernatural, it gives chills not matter how many times you listen to it.
Great as always! I sure do love those longer pieces you've made, Cantiga, The Fall of Constantinople and now Gaivs Ivlivs Caesar are probably my favourite among all your music!
Carry on Farya!
Thanks once again my friend, sending all my love to beautiful Brazil!
My man, you did it again! This might even be better than Alexander's symphony, but that also could just be my taste. Interesting how at Dictator Perpetuo I expected even more glorious trumpets, but you used the same theme as for the last part of Roma, makes sense, after all, it is the fall of the Republic.
With this you pretty much made all other "one hour of epic roman music" videos obsolete, here its half an hour of actually epic very roman music. 11/10
It would be undeniably hilarious if there was a part which used the real "lyrics" of Ceasar's triumphal march, triumphal marches at the time were filled with jokes and profanities. I remember it being something like "we wasted all of your money in Gaul and are coming back to take more! Hide your wives, hide your kids, the bald man [Caesar] is back in Rome!"
Edit: "The Statue" part is a reference to Alexander the Great?
Edit 2: Rome theme (same part as inThe Fall of Constantinopole) in the Youth and Governor part because of course it is, this might be my favourite version of it so far
Edit 3: A part of "Civil Wars" appears very similar to "Son of Ra" from Alexander, is that a reference to Caesar in Egypt?
@@Taizongdoingexercise Yes.
Yep you’ve got all the references! I believe the Alexander statue story was one of the most important turning points in Caesar’s life-it’s also poetic that Caesar as we know him was born the same age Alexander died. The Son of Ra leitmotif is basically my “Egypt” leitmotif as you said, and as for the epic trumpets, I’m saving them for Part 2 of this story: the Augustus symphony. I didn’t want to give too much of a conclusive climax feel to this one since it’s only the first part ;p
@@faryafaraji Epic, so Augustus is coming. -After that, maybe the long-awaited Justinian and Theodora symphony will come-
@@Taizongdoingexercise I don’t have one Iranian leitmotif, I divide leitmotifs based on the dynasties, Achaemenid, Arsacid, Sasanian, etc. In the case of these flute phrases, they’re not a leitmotif, it’s just a basic melodic phrase you find in most Iranian music, and it happens to use the flute in both cases :p
@@faryafaraji wait, wasn't Alexander here in 300bc and caesar 50bc?

Gaius Julius Caesar: Ancient patrician lineage, champion of the people, sacrificed his entire wealth and his life to save Rome, knew there were many corrupt enemies of Rome; Defeated them and then forgave them, founded an Empire

Wow I'm blown away yet again! this has got to be one of my favorite pieces of yours!
Beautifully and powerfully composed. Thank you!
Absolute chills at the reoccurring leitmotif returning yet again, in 7:20. We can only wonder who this statue is ; )
Haha good ear, I’m glad some people notice!
@@faryafaraji "Alexander" is always one of my favorites from you, so that theme is iconic. Hearing the themes of Alexander and subsequentially Rome in other songs, sounds like to me the immortal memories of these legends, echoing through time.
The form is like the video " Roma " and it's splendid. Also, the fact that my city bears the name of Iulius Caesar appeals to me. Caesaria in Turkey.
I’ve been to Kayseri, the pastırma is amazing :p
@@faryafaraji Made by the rome copied by the ottomans :P
@@midnightblue3285 There’s different theories as to the origin of pastırma but a native Central Asiatic origin is very likey too
@@faryafaraji There is a possibility too I think yes, maybe both cultures are share some common tradition to each other but also it is Dried meat its part of the western culture too

Absolutamente bello !!. Me gustaría si pudieras adjuntar la letra a la melodía para poder cantarla. Gracias.
Pure perfection
This has easily become one of my favourite symphonies from Farya! Great work!
Love all the music you’re creating, it fill the niche I’ve been looking in ancient cultural music!
Maravilhoso. Parabéns pelo trabalho Farya Faraji 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, the greatest Roman. You my friend have earned a legions worth of subs from me.
I love your music Farya, your voice is so beautiful. Amazing work man! ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful. I don't have words to say how amazing your work is.
Awesome work, I believe it really captures the feeling of the "fly-on-the-wall" journey through Caesars life. Love it.
The mans very name became the embodiment of royalty from his death on. Truly a god amongst men.
Yeah.
This is such an amazing work of art, that I'm listening to it for the third time today! Well done!
Damn that transition from the statue to rise...wow!
Feels me like a badass monarch. I will use it when i will play strategy games
Excelente como siempre! sigo esperando mas y mas de este contenido, es espectacular!
could imagine this being a soundtrack for a Rome II: Total war vid about the rise and fall of Caesar
Better then ''modern'' music imo, truly wonderful!
You know it's going to be a good day when you wake up and see Farya Faraji just uploaded another video, and it's Roman at that.
Hail Caesar indeed! This is like Christmas morning! I am SO EXCITED to have this on replay all month! Your Roman music is OFF the CHARTS and this is going to be so so EPIC! Thank you for this most amazing treat. Soon, very soon, you will need no introduction as well, my friend. As a fellow Canadian, I am proud that you belong to our soil. XD!
