Pirates of the Mediterranean - Epic Roman Music

  • Music & vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn’t reconstructed Ancient Roman music, it’s entirely modern music with an ancient theme using Greco-Roman instruments of the period. Many thanks to my friend Luke Ranieri of the polýMATHY channel for helping transform my original lyrics into something gramatically coherent; keep in mind that the Latin is very basic at best and not representative at all of the poetic and semantical conventions of Classical literature of Antiquity. I was inspired by Pierre de Marbeuf’s French poem “Et la mer et l’amour” and the way it plays with the semantical and phonetical properties of the words love and sea in Romance languages. The pronunciation used is the Restored Classical Pronunciation, the historical pronunciation of the city of Rome from around 100 B.C to 200 A.D. The melody follows Latin’s long and short vowels as well as the stress accent; long syllables are sang longer and the stressed part of the word are melodically accentuated, with a few exceptions where I prioritised the melody.
    I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of piracy in the ancient Mediterannean, and I wanted to take a break from the usual militaristic themes of the Epic Roman series and move into other aspects of the culture, so I went this. Piracy in the Mediterannean is as old as the recorded history of the sea, and ranges from the Sea Peoples of the Bronze Age to the Cilician thalassocracy, to the pirates who captured Caesar, and onwards.
    The instruments used are the Greco-Roman lyre, the aulos, pan flute, bagpipes, frame drums and tambourines, all utilised in the period.
    Lyrics in Latin:
    Mare, mare, mare…
    Mare, mare,
    Amāre tē, est mors certa,
    Ah dēceptrīx!
    Meminī tot nautās,
    Fuisse amōrōsōs
    Dein Sīrēn cantāvit,
    Iam sepulcrum es,
    Dēceptrīx!
    Amāre mare’st amor,
    Mōrōsus,
    Quod amor marium amārum est,
    Amāre mare’st amor,
    Mōrōsus,
    Quod mar’amat hominēs amārē!
    Puella mea’st Marīa,
    Plōrat mē adeunte maria,
    Marīa puella mea’st, Jūdaeae,
    Epona’st puella mea, Gallica
    Rūfus meus cinaedus est,
    Et Lunja’st puella mea, Libyca
    Procellae, tempestātēs,
    Spolia, praedae,
    Sumus crassī*,
    Quamquam mundus est lutārius,
    Mundus sum, fīlius Neptūnius!
    *A double meaning can be inferred here as the term can be translated both to plump/fat, or Crassuses as in the plural of Crassus, the richest man in the time of the Republic.
    English translation:
    Sea, sea, sea…
    Sea, sea,
    Loving you is certain death,
    Ah, deceiver!
    I remember, all those sailors who were amorous,
    Then the Siren sang
    Now you’re a sepulchre, deceiver!
    Sea, sea,
    Loving you is certain death,
    Ah, deceiver!
    Loving the sea is capricious love,
    For the love of the sea is bitter,
    Loving the sea is capricious love,
    For the sea loves men bitterly!
    Sea, sea,
    Loving you is certain death,
    Ah, deceiver!
    Maria is my girl,
    She weeps when I go to the seas,
    Maria, she’s my Jewish girl,
    Epona is my Gaulish girl,
    Rufus is my catamite,
    And Lunja is my Lybian girl,
    Sea, sea,
    Loving you is certain death,
    Ah, deceiver!
    Storms and tempests,
    Spoils and plunder, we are plump!
    Though the Earth is filthy,
    I am clean, a son of Neptune!

    "Puella mea’st Marīa,

    I love what you did there! "Maria" refers to the sailor's girl and she weeps when the sailor goes to his other "maria", id est, the sea. And, I do think the basic Latin used in the song is probably accurate because I am pretty sure ancient pirates would not have had a scholarly education of Cicero and Vergil, so they probably sang in the same way. All in all, great music as always!

    This is the recognisable feeling of a sailor towards the Sea, his Deadly Mistress, that's expressed in many songs and poems. I can see this as both a working song and something sung around the table in any seedy Mediterranean port drinking house.
    Can't help but think of Nikos Kavadias' verses, the poet who's synonymous with ships and sailing for us Greeks.

      But how did you win the naval battle tough?
      I am often losing even when being with an equal size as the enemies, as they either come an ram my ships or board them while my ships are kind of bugging and not properly moving how I want them to move.

      @@crazybalalaika8143, the "secret of life" is the following: artillery ships. To be more precise, onager ships. My fleet composition is usually 1 admiral ship, 10 onager ships and 4 support hemiolia. The battle I was playing had in the first wave 20 transports and coming as reinforcements 6 ships out of a city garrison of Alexandria of Egypt. The transports are easy to sink. They require even on legendary difficulty just 2 hits from the projectiles and they start their journey to the bottom of the sea. I place the artillery ships in a single line and between them from time to time a hemiolia. When an enemy ship tries to slip through the bombardment and reach the onager ships, I ram it with one of the hemiolias. Hemiolias are disposable. The artillery ships must survive. It requires micromanagement, and it is quite cheesy, but the victories are heroic indeed!

      I am playing with DEI on, so the best artillery ship I can get is one with Ballista, an I'm just using 4 of them, while the rest of my fleet is fire pot biremes and Quadrireme, as I consider them good at ramming, the latter is good at boarding.
      So basically ships that aren't artillery and expensive are basically a money sink, as I got from your strat, good to know.
      The thing about the vulnerability of transports is hilarious indeed, this way I won amphibious invasions on my cities just with a few garrison ships.
      My 4 Ballista ships have problems sinking and often even hitting enemies though, should I order multiple ships to focus on one until it sinks, and should I use standard or fire ammuntion?

      @@minutemansam1214 Portuguese were the discoverers of the relationship between the phases of the moon and the tides, developed various nautical equipment, like the nautical astrolabe, mapped a good part of the world, not to mention that they were the first to sail on two and three oceans. First Europeans to reach India, Malaysia, China, Japan, Australia and other places by ship (following a path never seen before, going around the entire gigantic continent of Africa)... Hmmm, I remembered now, the first man to go around the world was a Portuguese...
      I usually say that the Portuguese inherited the commercial, exploratory and maritime spirit of the Phoenicians, while the Spaniards were the great spreaders of Iberian culture, such as Greek Hellenism.
      I must also mention the ships invented by the Portuguese, which were either faster or larger than any ship ever seen in Europe. The nau, the biggest Portuguese ship, which could fit about 800 people, sailed even against the wind! Just like the caravels, also invented by the Portuguese, which were extremely fast ships, which did not even need any rowers.
      The great Portuguese navigations and innovations are commonly compared by historians to man's journey to the moon. Their feats were unique in history, they did things never seen before on the planet (like the trip to the moon).
      Indeed, the Polynesians were the masters of the seas in the Pacific Ocean. This is an indisputable fact, they were the rulers of the Pacific Islands; but the Portuguese were the masters of all the other oceans in the world (I don't mention the glacial oceans, although they also got there hahaha).

    Hearing Classical Latin sung this way does so much to make it sound more like a "real language", dispel the legacy of the "rabbitus stupidus" sound common to Anglophones trying to "speak Latin", and make the ancestry of the Romance languages in Latin far more apparent. It doesn't sound stilted at all, but something people could have actually sung.
    Also hearing the word "cinaedus" in this song was an amusing surprise. Catullus 16 arrangement when? 😂
    E: listening again makes me realize how much the rhythm sounds like rowing, it could definitely function as a work song on a galley.

    Amazing music!
    I would like to request a video one more time if you don't mind...
    Seeing these songs, I remembered the Portuguese sailor songs that honestly, I think it would be really cool for you to do. I would be honored to see you represent my ancestors.
    Luís Vaz de Camões was the main poet of the Portuguese language. He was a 15th century poet and sailor, and he wrote completely epic things that even today touch the hearts of Portuguese speakers! His main work was "Os Lusíadas".
    They have some beautiful songs Like for example:
    As armas e os barões assinalados (the weapons and barons marked);
    Sete anos de pastor Jacó servia (Seven years of shepherd Jacob served);
    Canta o caminhante ledo (the happy walker sings);
    The first option of the three, in my opinion, is the most fervent and also the most famous inscription left by Luís Vaz de Camões.
    But, if you really intend to make a song based on the Portuguese maritime theme, I recommend that you do it over an excerpt from a very famous Portuguese poem of Fernando Pessoa, that absolutely gives that shiver in the soul just remembering! Here it is:
    Ó mar salgado, quanto do teu sal
    São lágrimas de Portugal!
    Por te cruzarmos, quantas mães choraram,
    Quantos filhos em vão rezaram!
    Quantas noivas ficaram por casar
    Para que fosses nosso, ó mar!
    Valeu a pena? Tudo vale a pena
    Se a alma não é pequena.
    Quem quer passar além do Bojador
    Tem que passar além da dor.
    Deus ao mar o perigo e o abismo deu,
    Mas nele é que espelhou o céu.
    O salty sea, how much of your salt
    Are Portugal's tears!
    For crossing you, how many mothers cried,
    How many children prayed in vain!
    How many brides left to marry,
    That you should be ours, oh sea!
    Worth it? Everything is worth it
    If the soul is not small.
    Who wants to go beyond Bojador
    Have to go beyond the pain.
    God to the sea the danger and the abyss gave,
    But in it mirrored the sky.
    Now add some bagpipes, trumpets, oboes, flutes, violas, guitars, sitars, drums, mandolins and of course, the sound of the wind and the ocean... Man, just epic!

      That would be a challenging one because, during the Seleucid Empire, the Persian language was going through a transition from Old Persian to Middle Persian. (If Farya does that in the future, he will have to mix many Old and Middle Persian words together, e.g., Old Persian Artakshatra and Middle Persian Ardashir to ArdaKsatra or something like that.)
