- As part of the Music theme in 2009, museum visitors could view replica instruments at the and hear them being played in a film accompanying the exhibition.
"Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behaviour." Boethius -- Roman philosopher.
"Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable." Juvenal -- Roman poet
"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and everything." Plato -- Greek philosopher

Fel rhan o thema Cerdd yn 2009, roedd cyfle i ymwlewyr weld copïau o offerynnau yn yr Amgueddfa a'u clywed yn cael eu chwarae mewn ffilm yn ategu'r arddangosfa.
"Mae cerddoriaeth yn rhan ohonom, a gall naill ai urddasoli neu ddiraddio ein hymddygiad." Boethius -- Athronydd Rhufeinig
"O bob sŵn, rwy'n credu mai cerddoriaeth yw'r lleiaf annymunol." Juvenal -- Bardd Rhufeinig
"Mae cerddoriaeth yn gyfraith foesegol. Mae'n rhoi enaid i'r bydysawd, adenydd i'r meddwl, hediad i'r dychymyg a swyn a llonder i fywyd a phopeth". Plato -- Athronydd Groegaidd

2:03 - A wild Roman appears. He uses misdirect, it's super effective!
bashpr0mpt 😂😂😂😂😂
Monty Python I his first and only campaign: killed by a housewife with a sling "stop that racket"
monty python zoom out
lets all thank the cameraman for going back in time and taking this awesome footage
every single performer sounded like they were handed the instrument for the first time 10 seconds before the camera was turned on
No wonder the Roman empire crumbled. Everyone got tortured to death by the musicians.
Dear lord those lyres wouldn't have entered anyone! It's a beautiful instrument when played properly. Also the Roman horns can produce amazing sounds too, not the strangled cat heard here!
I laughed so hard through this entire unintentional comedy routine. At least put a disclaimer *Not how it would have sounded.
😂😂 Oh, wonderful involuntary humour! Thanks!!! 🤣 The unnerving annoying street "musician" was the best, but I've enjoyed very much that Monty Python flair of the whole video.
Everyone of those instruments needed tuning.
John Roberts true
yes, they're making a racket, it really looks down on the abilities of the ancients
I'm thinking the local centurion heard them carrying on like that he'd have them off to the circus
Sounds it. But rome was also prior to the first documentation of 12 tone equal temperament so never know.
No, they don't need, tempered tuning wasn't invented until the late 1600s, back then they used to use Pythagorean tuning, which for today's standards sounds wrong. They are meant to sound like that, just like bagpipes and Arab music, for example, is meant to sound "untuned", they use a different tuning method. Instruments that are slightly "untuned" have a special, human and non-artificial like charm that I really dig into
Tempered tuning may not have been invented but most of these instruments work fundamentally the same way as they do now. Maybe some of them have a bit of excuse but the brass lads surely don’t.
To the brass players- you can get more than one note.
No wonder Rome fell! If they all played that bad ; }
Sledcat that's why it fell
lol true
It's pretty depressing when legionaries are moving in formation and a sad excuse of a horn blow begins wailing.
@Michelle Fong
They gave certain tones and rythms as codes. They had to be definite, strong and coordinated. This video is parodic and misinforming. How can people even believe that this is what it sounded like? Do they think the Romans just crawled out of a primeval soup and this is all their flabby fish mouths and brains were capable of? Is this how a massive, highly efficient army, ruling the world, was directed? No, documents tell otherwise. By Jove, all you need is reason, to know and understand.
@Michelle Fong but they literally used flutes as signaling instruments so there’s your point dead in a ditch
It's little wonder why they were so violent. Listening to that would drive one nutty!
Imagine taking a leisurely summer stroll through the fields when a roman centurion pops out of the grass and starts badly blaring a trumpet at you.
Gracchus, something more cheerful!
The guy standing up in the meadow made me think of a possible monty python sketch.
Those romans look like they're from Manchester... xD
LOL
Anywhere with "chester" in the name had a Roman fort.
ESTO ES VER TRADICION Y IDIOMA DE COMO LLEGAR SIN PRESENCIA Y SEAN AVISADOS .!!!SOYdesendiente de Italianos y 3spañoles y debia escuchar las maneras de llegar la 8nterpretacion.! Gracias esto es muy conmovedor y ver las trincheras....blancaArgentina.😢
Thank you so much for showing us what instruments were used in ancient Rome, and how they sound.
I'm writing now music in ancient Rome style, and it can really help me knowing more about this epoch.
I wouldn't start here if I were you...
For those of you saying that it’s just a historical demonstration and it doesn’t matter if they play it well, you won’t be so sure about that when a civil war reenactor pours black pepper down his rifle instead of black powder.
Thank you for showing us what music was like in ancient Rome. My students love this video.
Those Romans rocked!
lyres were not tuned to the major scale, they were tuned in a tetrachordal system that had smaller intervals we in modern times don't recognize,like certain half sharp intervals within their scales.In this regard this is incredibly inaccurate, not to mention how I would certainly question if these people at this exhibit are really even musicians -_-
MUY BUEN ESCENARIO ARTE DE OBRA COMPLETO!!!!!
The best part is how committed they were to getting dressed up, while they play absolutely garbage music out of tune with no rhythm lol. So much effort into the look then the music is just like wtf hahahaha! That last guy on the drum too, omg. This is hilarious
There's no way you're going to convince me thousands of years of humans playing instruments before the Romans, only resulted in the racket.
Very interesting! The arcane sounds of ancient Rome!
I share on FB
This is why Rome didn't lose gentlemen.... This... right here...
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting.
the trumpet sounds like a dying elephant....🤣🤣🤣
I feel like I am watching a dnd or larping thing
I deeply doubt that the quality of some instruments showed was that bad (especially at sound) as you displayed here. There are more accurate rebuilds played by musicians on YT sounding far better.
Was this directed by Monty Python?
Да уж лира, три аккорда два десятка струн. Во дворе подростки на гитаре и то лучше лабают... Тяжко было жить в римской империи , сколько пиров и на каждом слушай такую какофонию.
Musicians in the arena🦁🦁🦁 , especially the scarecrows in white😂😂😂
Tuning is much more complicated than the layman believes as scales are more multiple than most people are aware of and methods of tuning have changed over time. Present day piano tuning is always a little out of tune in order to facilitate playing in all keys.
Great music!
all music in ancient times sounded like a child practicing
trap3400 it's because all the people they had "play" had never picked up a trumpet or anything like before, they are all beginners
This is completly inaccurate lookup "Allous by Callum Armstrong".
You are so wrong.
They were very skilled. Historians look through a keyhole and interpret.
Callum, on the other hand, shatters this notation entirely.
If you are not moved by his ancient greek allows playing then you are not human.
No, it’s just that these guys really suck
this is fuckin awesome
why is it in Rome II and Attila as Roman Empire the horn sounds more deeper and echoing on a battlefield with a longer carry when it sounds off?but here it sounds like it is weak....
Because these people can't play
@@fish4225 no,I'm talking about the game sounds.the unit horns....hell even movie horns don't sound as good as this game.
@@agenthunk5070 Good sound mixing? Professional players? Nistalgia? Idk dude I don't even know what game you're talking about.
This looks like it was done in there backyard.
Lyra, kithara, pan pipes, corn, tuba, lituus, sistrum, tympanum
3:45 great trip!
Gracchus something more cheerful.
None of these people know what they're doing. It shows.
I'd guess they were better.
Surely the Romans had more style and would have had their instruments prepped to deliver a better sound.
Listening to the kithara make me realize that ancients romans had no ears :- s
😘😜😂😁😂😁😂
This is sad
Half of these organs are Greek.
Aerials by SOAD?
CALVOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Um romano a sair por detrás de uma moita com uma tuba... Aos 2:03...
This was horrible. But then ... they got their rocks off watching people die too.
The Romans had a shit Spotify playlist.
why are the subtitles also in welsh
At the beginning it says the video was made by the National Museum Wales
2:30 Early Pink Floyd ancient Rome version.
I find it a bit ridiculous how weak these people play on these instuments. These instruments have far more potential. If you check youtube for "Cornu de Pompeii" with Abraham Cupeiro you will understand.

1:33
Pfft Wales
what is the name of the harp-like thingy at the start
Lyre or lira
Somebody needs to hook up the blonde chick with Zamfir.
I understand achieving Roman standards is too much to ask for. Thankfully, practice makes perfect. Come back in a year or so, chaps.
Addendum:
Whether they were musicians or not is irrelevant. They were signalists, and they had to be really good at it, that is, knowing the codes, and giving clear, definite, specific and strong sounds. Commanding many thousands of people with different roles and specialties under ever changing circumstances, with the necessary precision, is complicated. Besides, war is a matter of life and death. Furthermore, the Romans were experts at ruling the world. So the signalists _had_ to be skilled at their jobs. Also, they were likely more intelligent and competent than many of us in this comment section. Plus, much more brave and powerful. No need to think we're on a higher level than they were.
Knowing codes required and still requires just as much practice and skill as being a musician. Early orchestras borrowed trumpets from the army because they can piece together something that actually sounds good.
Basically, signalists had to be good musicians because that’s literally where we get our modern concept of good musicians.
Frisia non cantat 😮
2:04 oh herro
Proper Cornu ua-cam.com/video/1IlZgj2FAHA/v-deo.html
Thank you kind sir! This saved me from hating the Cornu
