NEW ROMAN SONG: “Carrhae”
You can buy this song and more of my music here: 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!)
