Ancient Roman Music - Musica Romana I

Tracks "XVII" and "Cave Carminem" from Symphonia Panica album.

Musica Romana is a well-known, internationally-acclaimed music ensemble dedicated to recreating the Ancient Roman music. Among other things, their music was featured the Europa Barbarorum, a video game mod for Rome: Total War.

I do not claim any part of this video is mine and this music belongs to Music Romana. I have noticed YouTube lacks any examples of their work, so I thought it would be splendid if more people discovered this cultural treasure. If you like this music, be sure to support Musica Romana by purchasing their albums here: http://tinyurl.com/ykxboxx (Google Translated from German) or by emailing at preorder@musica-romana.de for information on how to order from the US. Remember, the more we support the group, the more successful and productive they can be!

@magnvsmarcvs

Yep, some of the music in Pugnate and Symphonia Panica are in EB. What I did though, was to add more of Musica Romana to the EB campaign map. If you are interested, I could upload the music mod.

Personally, I spend hours on the campaign map micro-managing everything. I spend more time on the strat map than on the actual battles. So the mod actually makes a difference for me. Oh, and I am about to mod some battle music for the Romani, from the two Gladiator soundtracks.

@generalpatton3

And about that battle music for the Romani from Gladiator you already have that in Sparta Total War , I would personnaly like to hear a battle drum and maybe for the celts a Brian Boru or ONeill s march (it s not historicall but it sounds good) + If I change my mind about modding the music I hope that I could adress to you . Cheers

@magnvsmarcvs

You played Sparta:TW when there was EB?? I have not even heard of that mod until now, and I thought I knew most if not all of them... Well, I suppose you tried Sparta:TW before EB, because most people find they cannot play other mods after EB, or at least the non-total-conversion-ones.

As for CTDs, modding EDU and the DSM (descr_sounds_music) is fine, since just about no matter what you do, it will not cause a CTD. It is very simple, almost impossible to make a mistake (especially in the campaign music section). Any mistake will simply lead to the particular track not playing - that is all.

If you want that other music modded in, then you would probably have to show me where to find the music. Torrent sites?

Just to add: I'm not complaining here. I love what they've done with the tune. I just want to give recognition where recognition is due.

The melody from the first piece was actually from Oktokaidekasimos (a.k.a. "Okto kedékasimos"), one of six short pieces from Hellenistic-period Lydia that were included in a publication from the 1800s called "Anonymi Bellermann." The author, F. Bellermann, had transcribed them from the writings of Venetus Marcianus.

@SuperMusicHero The Greeks certainly did. Whether or not the residents of Italy had them before the Greeks arrived, I dunno - probably.

@tvpnbb Lol, when i've opened your comment, i was listening Chop Suey (SOAD) And strangely the first music sounds well when played within the soft riff from SOAD.

[tvpnbb]

@SuperMusicHero In another song, where it also sounded like bagpipes, it turned out to really be the Aulos double-pipes. I can't remember which one it was, but one of the Pugnate ones.

[SuperMusicHero]

@tvpnbb There are bagpipes in 2nd music

[tvpnbb]

@SuperMusicHero Why do you think they are bagpipes?

[SuperMusicHero]

I really think bagpipes ain't Roman.
