Praetorian: "No. You're Imperator Nero Cladius Divi Claudius filius Caesar Augustus Germanicus…and we've had enough of your playing. We requested 'Libera Avis'."
I always read that there no notated Roman music has ever been found. Those hymns and notation you mentioned by Mesomedes, were they able to be transcribed, and has anyone made a recording of them?
i just realised, the romans fangirled over the musicians and lyricists as we do rock stars and boy bands, they fangirled over the gladiators as we do athletes. we are exactly the way we were 2000 years ago, i love that.
You should do videos on music in ancient Persia, China, Mesoamerica, Egypt, India, and Mesopotamia at some point. Like you could gradually turn this into a series of videos on music in ancient times.
Nero was an unabashed fan of Roman music. He used to take part in musical competitions,(which he won after bribing the judges).
He valued the arts and had a full time director of elegance or Arbiter Elegantiae.
He used to put on shows in his palace and usually performed for long periods,boring his audiences to sleep.
When he was overthrown and ordered to commit suicide,he begged the Roman senate to allow him to retire so that he could travel around the empire performing for all to see and hear. His dying words,(allegedly) were : “What an artist the world is losing in me”.
I don’t got a minute believe their music or be any bc anxiety music was minimalist, solemn and show. folk music of the region and Middle East are very rhythmic and fast and i believe peoples anywhere enjoyed boisterous stomping rhythms throughout the ages
I find ancient history so fascinating. It feels like they were just like us, not even from a different time but a different planet. Like an alternate universe. They did all of the same things just without technology. Their society was so far ahead of its time. What life was like after the fall of Rome is how you’d think it would’ve always been until the renaissance. Although I guess it wouldn’t have been a “renaissance” in that case but you get my point. It’s just so interesting that their society is so similar in so many ways to modern societies. Idk I guess this is something that should be really obvious but I guess I’ve always taken it for granted.
I still don't know how the roman music sounded like … Are there no examples of rebuilt musical instruments? Are there written notes of ancient music? Or is it all a lot of guessing?
WTF is " infinite grace " ?
Performer: "I AM A GOLDEN GOD!"
Praetorian: "No. You're Imperator Nero Cladius Divi Claudius filius Caesar Augustus Germanicus…and we've had enough of your playing. We requested 'Libera Avis'."
too much yappity yap over the actual music and the songs aren't even credited in the description, disliked

I was today's years old when learned that in the States they play baseball with an organ soundtrack.
Liturgical experience.
What kind of scale did the Romans use? Diatonic? Chromatic? Pentatonic? Or something else?

only real romans remember catullus, vivamus was pure fire guys
What music?
“That godsdamned Taylarous Swifticus I cannot escape their music”
from what i remember there was a lotta opera and in many ARIAs of ancient Rome the tunes were just BOLOGNA and, of course, do WOP

Liked to have heard an example of a Roman song.

I would love to go back in time & watch here performances in person!
why are there so many pictures of ancient greeks? and where's that music mentioned in the title?
It would have been much better to have played the music WITHOUT talking. Explain, play music, move to next instrument. Repeat.
So the relaxing sounds of Black Sabbath or Rob Zombie might be a bit more than Roman Citizens could handle.
I would have stroked the Lyre and venerated the gods and emperor for millions of denari plus woman and wine.
This robot voice bs has to stop.
Total, solo se oye al tipo hablar sin parar, y un ratito mininmo musical al final…..una disertacion, sin mas….nada de musica, practicamente…

Did Romans applaud? How old is applause?
We don't know. That's the only truth
Ancient Roman music sounds like The Legend of Zelda soundtracks
canis femina et scorta, canis femina et scorta, Cupio omnia rei publicae causa, canis femina
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
You should change the title to:
"What my voice sounds like"
