If you ever read the classic novel Quo Vadis this song will put you back 2000 years ago with the Emperor Nero lounging around with his court of clowns, parasites and other assorted psychopaths and misfits, listening to music with his sick poetry readings. Nero went down in history as the dung pile of worthlessness, while the Catholic Church in Rome lives on in Glory, which was once Rome.
@Presidentofstormhawk As much as I like that idea, I don't think you would be shouting that if you could go back and live in the Roman era. Although surviving evidence of writings of the time suggest that much of the time was a golden era this is mainly based on documentation written down by the wealthiest individuals and those with an agenda (usually political). Roman rule was harsh, full of brutality and needless cruelty on the many, whilst the few lived in luxury and privilege. Not nice!
@moonkick360 from what I've read in wikipedia (take it as reliable as you want) about gladiators, they fought with music in the background, one of the instruments being the tuba, a trumphet, perhaps, like nowdays, they had different types of music for different ocations that used different instruments.
i am doing a brouchure for social studies and we have to find and intresting music and picture for rome daily life music sports theaters gods godesses arches and clothining slaves and schools
I have a question, for anyone who can properly cite their answers, and for the ones who are naturally knowledgeable in the area of Ancient Roman music. Where did this group, Synaulia, even get authentic notations of actual Roman musical pieces? From Wikipedia (as unreliable as it is), I have read that there really is no notations of Roman music - so how did Synaulia make them?
I once watched an italian documentry where they invited Synaulia. They build the instruments and try to recreate ancient songs but romans did not left any written music, they considered music divine and they would never try to transcribe something coming from the gods.
They probably took inspiration Greek compositions as well as later Roman prints. I'm sure that Roman music probably sounded somewhat similar to the former as well as traditional Italian folk music
@shad0wdawg I agree with you. Synaulia invented something that - for an incompetent audience - can probably resemble what generally ancient music seems to have been. That's not a real reconstruction, but most evidently a well-done fake, even if historically informed.
@shad0wdawg No examples of written Roman music exist to my knowledge, but several examples of ancient Greek music DID survive, such as the Seikolos Epitaph. The Romans used Greek musical notation, not having their own. Synaulia used such fragments, recreated musical instruments, and also took hints from folk music (in which ancient elements of music may have survived) attempting to create music that MIGHT have been heard in ancient Rome. They don't claim that it's authentic, but a "good guess".
@shad0wdawg: my assumption (mind you it is a mere assumption) is they are assuming based on the instruments language and culture of the time, we may not know for sure what they played, but what we do know is what they had at their disposal, and with that said, most musicians at the time never used any kind of notation, so they just kind of.. improvised. so based on those deductions if you use their instruments and language you have their music. even if it sounds like trash
@esbensloth Ah yes, but after it states "Very little survives about the music of the Romans, however". Forgive me if I was too vague in my comment, but I was asking about Roman music. Or maybe I misinterpreted your comment. Were you suggesting that Synaulia might have used the surviving Greek musical notations as a reference point?
@shad0wdawg we can't be sure it's accurate, but here is the explanation.
"In the absence of a system of musical notation for the period in question, the reconstruction and study of ancient musical expression was based on comparative studies of iconography, textual analysis, social studies and customs, also drawing from paleorganology, ethnomusicology, archeology and historiography."
The Romans were not Greeks on the one hand, but on the other they borrowed so much from the Greek culture that it could be said that their empire was based thoroughly on Hellenism.
@GsxRaider Well the bibles teachings have been edited more times than people would like to know. Also catholicism sticks to the old rules of the bible; Homosexuality is an abomination, Women cannot be priests and so on. Its not right but thats whats written in the 'holy' book. Protestants are very laxidasical with thier beliefs, which is not what the bible preaches.
On a side note i just found out that Christianity, Judaism and Islam all stem from the earliest form of Satanism.
@iSupplanter the teaching of the catholic had almost contradicted all of the bible teachings,examples? written in the bible: do not worship pictures,monuments,sculptures,but why the catholic did?they worship the sculptures of the saints and jesus christ. 2nd why is the priest prohibited from marrying? in the bible,the teachings like that is a teachings from devil.how can u explain that sir?
@GsxRaider if you want to know the real reason why priests couldn't marry it is because if they had a family then all of their property and belongings would go to the wife and children. But of course the church wants these riches for themselves, so that is why they passed this law. Also, jesus christ taught that the rich should give away their assets to the poor... i understand the church needs some money to function, but gold encrested paintings and hallways? its a major overkill.
in every religion from a level of spirituality you can´t marry, look to Ghandi, he said to his wife that he wouldn´t have sex anymore, i don´t see you messin with ghandi...and you can tell yourself that the vatican is full of golden treasures, and secret places with gold that´s your childish imagination... here in Spain thousand of families are living thanks to the church because of the crisis, if you can´t understand why a priest can´t marry... well you have problems
@VitalMusic217 thers no reason to get angry lol. im just telling you the truth, what you choose to beleive is your own buisness. The church of the medeival and renaissance era was a completley different entity than it is today; yes, the vatican was encrested with gold and they were the richest institution in Europe, yes christians did plunder the middle-east and yes they outlawed marriage amongst priest in order to prevent the willing of their property to priests families.
@GsxRaider For one, I have been to a few protestant churches and seen not only images of jesus but big statues of the 'saviour' on a crucifix. And if you read the bit after 'do not worship monuments, images or sculptures' it clearly states of 'false idols' referencing to forms of paganism seen in ancient rome, greece and brittania. Secondly catholic priests can get married but then is prohibited from becoming a bishop. This is because the church takes advice from Corinthians and from Paul.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@GsxRaider theres no word CATHOLIC in the bible,and the apostle`s said that thou shall not add or lessen on what is written in the bible ok? and catholic came from demon pagan`s who invent doctrines which do not came from the bible,another example,the catholic admited in their enclopedia that the actual birth of jesus Christ is unknown but the pagan decided that it`s on DEC25 without true basis.u have nothing to do with it sir,catholic is devil and will burn in hell in judgment day.
It is over 90000000000000!!! Vegeta has over 9000 scouters broken when he is listening to this music and the guy's speech in Latin. Goku you chose a right video to impress Vegeta! Kamehamehaaa!!!
This music really exists or is it just imagination and fantasy of the artists? I think there are only tablatures music from Gregorian chants and medieval music. Before I do not think there are scores
@Brodomor Actually there are scores from the ancient world. The Sumerian "Hurrian Hymns" have been researched. Most of this music is based more on conjecture than fact, but the conjectures are sound. We know that Romans borrowed a lot of their culture from the Greeks, and we do know what their musical scores could be like. The Greeks also sang poems to music, and we know what Graeco-Roman instruments are like, so we can form ideas for what songs sounded like.
@FOTARAStheGREEK It's even inaccurate to say that Roman culture is entirely Greek: Romans conquered just about all the useful land there was in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, and assimilated all the cultures that thrived in those areas. Even when the Romans did conquer lands under Seleucid and Ptolemaic dominance, they didn't conquer purely Greek kingdoms: they conquered Greek kingdoms that had been fused with native Egyptian and Persian culture.
@14GloryofRome14 "Romans qonquered Greek territories that were not so pure-Greek but there were other civilizations in that lands like Numidians and Seleucid that also contributed to the civilization that Romans borowed."....Man get used to it....Roman civiliation and customs are by 80% GREEK an the rest is from these nations you are trying to say that gave something too....GREECE'S civilization cannot be compared with those insignificant countries....XD
@FOTARAStheGREEK I don't have a problem with Greek culture, and a majority of Greek culture made up Roman civilization, but you said that all of "Romea" is Greek. Rome wasn't entirely Greek, that's all I'm trying to show.
@makingsnsux Nordic pride? Really what the fuck is this?...you want people to believe that Norse had civilization?....play more Age of Mythology kid...omfg XD
@makingsnsux bro nordics were angry fags who never contributed anything to this planet....just a few of drunk vikings who raided villlages and stole food and gold....lol.....show me some great nordic civilizations that contributed to the advancement of modern western culture...europe...or the world.. like the romans or greeks did.........face it scandonavia is nothing but frozen wasteland with very little to brag about....just be proud of your cute blonde hair and your igloos.
@mrtundra45 frozen wasteland and no great civilization? nice job not being able to derive the obvious from your own words. maybe if your race had to survive 40k years in scandinavia retards like you would have been weeded out.
@mrtundra45 oh and let's not forget that germany is technically nordic and guess who's been on the cutting edge of technological innovation with the rest of western civilization
@makingsnsux germany is the furthest south of any nordic nation....but the germans themselves are not fully genetically "aryan" anymore...theyve had so many Jewish and Slavic and Mediterranean migrations that Blonde hair is the Minority there...... even Hitler didnt look very nordic aryan.
@makingsnsux NOT really....if you check europes history you can find anti-semitism everywhere for the last 2000 years which means the jews were everywhere in europe....as were some gypsy groups and other migrants..... the people on this planet has NEVER really stopped migrating.....constant human movement since the begining...................its the nature of the beast i guess.
@mrtundra45 Some Scandinavians were Vikings. Most were farmers, craftsmen, tradesmen. True, their early culture didn't equal that of the Romans or Greeks, but they had achievements: Swedes called the Rus brought order to Russia in the 9th century and Russia takes its name from them. They opened trade with Byzantium, brought Danelaw to post Roman Britain, and designed incredible ships that Europe copied. From the Middle Ages on, they gave the world great art, music, drama and literature.
@zeekwolfe There are many languages spoken in Latin America. However, Spanish is the primary language and it was brought here by the Europeans just as English and French were. The Spaniards conquered a great deal of the Americas by killing off Native Americans and by bringing African slaves. Some of the Native Americans still speak their native languages. But the Spanish language is a European language. The Spanish language is derived from the old Latin language. Latin was spoken by the Romans.
@smru2007 no shit! Just like every other European language. They're not the closest ones to Latin tho. Ironically, Romanian is the closest language to Latin
@smru2007 But not descendants of the roman people, the spanish and portuguese were tribal people's considered barbarians of rome. There was also a majority of carthaginians in spain circa 800 B.C.
@ the complainers: we do not know how Latin was pronounced correctly. The classic Latin we learn at school is just the closest to the pronounciation as linguists think it was.
I've heard a lot of different pronounciations, and to me they are all correct, as everyone just takes the melody of his native language to speak Latin, but funnily enough everyone thinks his pronounciation is the correct one.
I personally think it was close to Italian so this guy's pronounciation isn't too bad I guess.
Scholars learned a lot about how it was pronounced from mistakes in writings from lesser schooled writers in the classical Latin period. A common mistake from them was to write the 'c' down as a 'k' because they simply heard the 'c' as 'k'. The conclusion of most nowadays scholars is that the 'c' always was pronounced as 'k' in classical Latin, and never as 'tsj' like in late, or 'church' Latin.
how is latin a dead race? they still live in italy. northern europe hasn't really changed italia that much maybe a little bit. stil romans look like romans.
@romanpr1nce Not really, many modern Italians have a lot of Lombard and Ostrogoth in them, due largely to the fact that these two tribes almost totally relocated to what is now Italy. The most Roman people are to be found in Isolated communities up in the alps on either side of the Swiss Italian border
@DLBBAM the japanese have many koreans and chinese in their country but they're still japanese. there are different germanic influences in italy i agree, but the majority of italians are still italians. there is influence in the north of italy, but not more then other european nations are influenced by each other. natives of france are mainly still franks.
@romanpr1nce Irrelevant? You were talking about Germanic influence in European countries and you implied that france was not influenced because the natives are 'still Franks'...
@MetallicThor no, you've completely missed the point of what i was saying. i'm sorry metalic thor. i said the french today are made up of franks but to say that the original ethnic people no longer exist is just, well, ignorant. there is no such extent of historical germanic migration to italy that would replace the original peoples of italy, or for that matter, have very much of an effect at all on their genes or culture.
@romanpr1nce I actually agree that Germanic influence in Italy is very minimal. I was just saying that the Franks themselves are Germanic therefore talking about them being influenced by Germanic culture is irrelevant. Hope that cleared the mist.
@XtremeDreamerX That's what I'm thinking. Anyone of European, Middle-Eastern, or North African descent has some 'Latin' blood in them. That's assuming Latin blood is from people who lived in Ancient Rome and had previously Greek/Asia Minor ancestry. Bit of a vague term.
@XtremeDreamerX There is no american blood speaking in a strict sense cause america is a land of immigrants from all the places of the earth, (only the indians have american blood) And latium is an ancient place with ancient history and with an ancient civilization of the same racial origin. But because you are an american iam sure that your comment springs from your indoctrination in a country with such media and such a multinational population.
@SorSatoshi Not exactly, Rome/Saturnia evolved from Hellene tradition, language & ancestry so it's music was similar to & developed from Hellene music which is rooted in ancient Caucasus area where they came from, so in other words it was close to other styles of music of mid-east & Eurasian tradition. Civilizations & peoples always had music & styles carried with them from former places or ancestral traditions. People forget that civilizations evolve from former ones.
do we have any extant musical notation written down from the roman empire, or is the earliest written stuff from the middle ages? i've seen church music in manuscripts in an old notational system before... wonder if we have anything from the time of the republic or the early/late empire....
In art Beauty is the body. Naked symbolizes as pure, for when the baby is born they are pure and innocent (naked) Adam and Eve were innocent until they ate the apple from knowledge and took cover for clothes. It's mainly belief that was used in the art work, though woman and men couldn't be seen naked around each other unless they were lovers and married to be seen as honorable.
i´ve latin since 3 years and we all have to learn it in our school/we are aprivate school in austria)...you don´t now how difficult it is!!so i think nobody could speak this leanguage fluently...but it´s also great to decode an inscripion...
In all school the should learn Latin in my opinion,It would be somthing that whole europa should talk,It sounds better then English and it makes Europa,Europa =)
well if u notice i never said it was our classical music 2day. that it was its own classical music w/ ancient roman instruments and that its softer than our classical music.
@retardguy Now's not the time to be perfect, as long as the intonation is right, and has at least a latin regionalistic pronunciation, like j or sh, it's alright, so that we could get as many people speaking latin again ;).
good work here

@mrtundra45 Some Scandinavians were Vikings. Most were farmers, craftsmen, tradesmen. True, their early culture didn't equal that of the Romans or Greeks, but they had achievements: Swedes called the Rus brought order to Russia in the 9th century and Russia takes its name from them. They opened trade with Byzantium, brought Danelaw to post Roman Britain, and designed incredible ships that Europe copied. From the Middle Ages on, they gave the world great art, music, drama and literature.

thugugbob 1 year ago
@zeekwolfe There are many languages spoken in Latin America. However, Spanish is the primary language and it was brought here by the Europeans just as English and French were. The Spaniards conquered a great deal of the Americas by killing off Native Americans and by bringing African slaves. Some of the Native Americans still speak their native languages. But the Spanish language is a European language. The Spanish language is derived from the old Latin language. Latin was spoken by the Romans.

MaBu888 1 year ago
@ the complainers: we do not know how Latin was pronounced correctly. The classic Latin we learn at school is just the closest to the pronounciation as linguists think it was.
I've heard a lot of different pronounciations, and to me they are all correct, as everyone just takes the melody of his native language to speak Latin, but funnily enough everyone thinks his pronounciation is the correct one.
I personally think it was close to Italian so this guy's pronounciation isn't too bad I guess.
ilovemangolassi 1 year ago
@ilovemangolassi
Scholars learned a lot about how it was pronounced from mistakes in writings from lesser schooled writers in the classical Latin period. A common mistake from them was to write the 'c' down as a 'k' because they simply heard the 'c' as 'k'. The conclusion of most nowadays scholars is that the 'c' always was pronounced as 'k' in classical Latin, and never as 'tsj' like in late, or 'church' Latin.

@romanpr1nce Not really, many modern Italians have a lot of Lombard and Ostrogoth in them, due largely to the fact that these two tribes almost totally relocated to what is now Italy. The most Roman people are to be found in Isolated communities up in the alps on either side of the Swiss Italian border

@DLBBAM the japanese have many koreans and chinese in their country but they're still japanese. there are different germanic influences in italy i agree, but the majority of italians are still italians. there is influence in the north of italy, but not more then other european nations are influenced by each other. natives of france are mainly still franks.

@romanpr1nce Irrelevant? You were talking about Germanic influence in European countries and you implied that france was not influenced because the natives are 'still Franks'...
MetallicThor 1 year ago
@MetallicThor no, you've completely missed the point of what i was saying. i'm sorry metalic thor. i said the french today are made up of franks but to say that the original ethnic people no longer exist is just, well, ignorant. there is no such extent of historical germanic migration to italy that would replace the original peoples of italy, or for that matter, have very much of an effect at all on their genes or culture.
romanpr1nce 1 year ago
@romanpr1nce I actually agree that Germanic influence in Italy is very minimal. I was just saying that the Franks themselves are Germanic therefore talking about them being influenced by Germanic culture is irrelevant. Hope that cleared the mist.

@XtremeDreamerX That's what I'm thinking. Anyone of European, Middle-Eastern, or North African descent has some 'Latin' blood in them. That's assuming Latin blood is from people who lived in Ancient Rome and had previously Greek/Asia Minor ancestry. Bit of a vague term.

@XtremeDreamerX There is no american blood speaking in a strict sense cause america is a land of immigrants from all the places of the earth, (only the indians have american blood) And latium is an ancient place with ancient history and with an ancient civilization of the same racial origin. But because you are an american iam sure that your comment springs from your indoctrination in a country with such media and such a multinational population.

@SorSatoshi Not exactly, Rome/Saturnia evolved from Hellene tradition, language & ancestry so it's music was similar to & developed from Hellene music which is rooted in ancient Caucasus area where they came from, so in other words it was close to other styles of music of mid-east & Eurasian tradition. Civilizations & peoples always had music & styles carried with them from former places or ancestral traditions. People forget that civilizations evolve from former ones.

In art Beauty is the body. Naked symbolizes as pure, for when the baby is born they are pure and innocent (naked) Adam and Eve were innocent until they ate the apple from knowledge and took cover for clothes. It's mainly belief that was used in the art work, though woman and men couldn't be seen naked around each other unless they were lovers and married to be seen as honorable.
