Legio XIV Gemina - Epic Roman Music

You can buy this song and more of my music here: Music and vocals by Farya Faraji, lyrics taken from the RMRS repertoire of marching songs; the RMRS are a reenactment group specialising in Ancient Roman military reconstructions and drills. Please note that this isn’t reconstructed ancient Roman music, it’s a modern piece with an ancient theme. With this song, I wanted to use only ancient Roman instruments and no modern orchestral ones, hence we only have drums, a lyre and an aulos, the last one is the bagpipe-like instrument that can also sound similar to a duduk depending on the model and playing style. The melody employs the Phrygian and Dorian modes of Ancient Greek and Roman music. I used Classical Pronunciation for the pronunciation, which is the reconstructed historical pronunciation of urban Rome circa the 1st century B.C up until the 3rd century A.D; it involves, among other elements, a retracted “s” like the Greek or European Spanis
