30 Minutes of Relaxing Roman Music and Ambience

- Music and vocals by Farya Faraji. The painting is Conversation by the Spring, by Henryk Siemiradzki. The instruments used are ancient Greco-Roman instruments, but this is by no means an archeological rendering of ancient roman music. I use chords and triads in parts of the music, which is basically projecting modern Western composition techniques onto Greco-Roman music, which is generally thought to have wandered somewhere between monophony and heterophony, and the use of chords back then is not accepted by all academicians.
2 HOURS OF ANCIENT GREEK RELAXING MUSIC:

There's a lot of Latin students and history students coming to this vid, so I thought I'd leave the text to the poem you hear at 3:47 in case anyone's interested! It's "Catullus 5."
vīvāmus mea Lesbia, atque amēmus,
rūmōrēsque senum sevēriōrum
omnēs ūnius aestimēmus assis!
sōlēs occidere et redīre possunt:
nōbīs cum semel occidit brevis lūx,
nox est perpetua ūna dormienda.
dā mī bāsia mīlle, deinde centum,
dein mīlle altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde ūsque altera mīlle, deinde centum.
dein, cum mīlia multa fēcerīmus,
conturbābimus illa, ne sciāmus,
aut nē quis malus invidēre possit,
cum tantum sciat esse bāsiōrum.
Let us live, my Lesbia, and let us love,
and let us value all the rumors of
more severe old men at only a penny!
Suns are able to set and return:
when once the short light has set for us
one perpetual night must be slept by us.
Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred,
then another thousand, then a second hundred,
then immediately a thousand then a hundred.
then, when we will have made many thousand kisses,
we will throw them into confusion, lest we know,
or lest anyone bad be able to envy
when he knows there to be so many kisses.
I tried as best I could to emulate Classical Latin pronunciation and especially the distinction between long and short vowels, which was of extreme importance in Latin--however the reverberation effect might cloud some of the pronunciation, such as the nasalised endings in words like "centum," and I'm also skeptical of overly well enunciated reconstructions; humans don't casually speak in an hyper enunciated manner and often mutter or under-pronounce certain sounds, which I tried to do with this reading to give it a more natural, visceral feel, so if you want a very clear example of this poem spoken perfectly, I recommend ScorptioMartianus' channel--I always refer to his videos for my pronunciations in Latin.
Ajyad Al Khalifa My pleasure, and thank you too :)
I've translated that one before in class!
Senderstood
you are amazing.
Thank you so much for this! I remember having to translate Catullus when I was at university and it brought back a bunch of memories from 4/5 years ago reading this :)
It is a sunny sunday of mid 2021 A.D. Im cleaning my house with this music on the background. There is pasta to be eaten later and a lot of fruits. Life is good.
Happiness is ultimately found in the little things in life :)
OH SHIT YOUR WHOLE DINNER TABLE JUST GOT INVADED BY BARBARIANS FROM THE NORTH UP WITH THE SHIELDS SOLDIERS!!! AETERNA VICTRIX!! ROMA INVICTA!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAA ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
Just imagine someone doing the same thing in 121 AD :0
Romans didn't know pasta. They had a whole different diet than the italians.
I know.
Ipsum bonum 👍
The image in this video just makes me happy, and nostalgic at the same time. I guess it is the pain of daydreaming about an idealized world that will never come true. Does anyone else get this feeling?
i feel you!
@@stylianos8686
Same feeling. Glad to see that there are other people like me .
We are on the same page! It seems so perfect.
Reminds me of when i was a kid in Puerto Rico and staring at the paintings in my catholic school of scenes from Paul being in greece preaching. Id just be chillin waiting for the nun to finish, hearing the bugs singing outside and birds. Windows and doors open letting in the warm carribean breeze of San Juan, and the tropical trees rustling with it. Everyone around me chillin waiting to play Yu-Gi-Oh cards in the court yard area. Different world really. Its still good today tho. Life is still good
I like this a lot. It makes me feel like I'm on the Mediterranean coast two thousand years ago! Great job! :)
Those first few minutes where the 2 men are speaking casually are just amazing. There are very few videos out there of people speaking so fluently and casually in Latin that you could put behind a soundtrack like this
thats him himself, Farya speaks it all!
I am a translator and I can't help but listen to your relaxing music while I work for the last couple of days, thank you. And Henryk Siemiradzki is a perfect choice of illustration for this piece of music. Great taste! :)
Thanks alot Uygar, glad it can help :)
thanks for the name of the author - it's my laptop backroud now))
@@MeryKeit You are welcome! It was on mine for a long time as well!
I don't consider myself a fine connoisseur of art or music, and I've never studied art nor ancient music. Still, I recognize good music when I hear it. It is like a massage for the ears and the brain, releasing tension and bringing a sense of relaxation. And this is that type of music. And I certainly know nothing about paintings, but I do agree, it was a good choice, and I like to blow it up to full screen and look at it while I listen to the music and contemplate the rise and fall of empires.
I would do everything to be in Ancient Rome and speak Latin with the people for just one day! Amazing work!
Trust me,i have seen many places on earth, they are dark unfair,Rome is an idea, a concentrate of signifies like the Aquila
@@Amine06200 well it’s a city as well
@@Amine06200 Sounds like filthy barbarian lies to me....
@@Amine06200 I went to Rome once, one of the greatest places i have ever been to
Adsum. Quid agis?
Staring to write my Greco-Roman inspired fantasy today and this is exactly the music and ambiance I needed!
how's the progress going on this?
@@willemadriaannel4968 About 22k words and 80-ish pages in less than a month :)
Let us know how it will proceed: we believe in you! Greetings from Roma! 💪🏻🤞🏻🍀
Where can we read about it, Mrs?
@@saraheiben5911 that’s awesome! Great progress.
Perfect for the story I’m writing set in Ancient Rome. ❤️
send me the story what is it about i'm interested
@@aiothedat3102 ah, you might hear about it when it’s finished. It still has a long way to go.
OK let me know
@@AldenHoffman I, too, would be interested in reading it once you are finished
Notify me as well, please! :)
I absolutely love this! It is such a luck that I accidently met it on RUclips. When I listen to it I have a strong nostalgia and my memory goes back to the 5th year of school. I was 11 and there were the first history lessons of the Ancient time (Greece and Rome). The love to antiquity started then. These were always sunny days, I heard something like this music on these history classes. Absolutely wonderful!
This music is the closest feeling there is of experiencing Roman Civilisation
There'll be a ancient rome VR tour/game if there isn't one already that will get you even closer.
@@Heopful that is lame and wholly against the authentic natural vibe people look for in antiquity
I’m studying latin,
and I love this!♥️
Glad you like it, thanks!
Great music, it really moved me to another age. I liked the talking in the background, that sounded grammatically correct.
Bravo!
Thanks Vladimiro! The text is indeed grammatically correct; I read them from Latin texts directly. However the pronunciation might not be completely perfect in the first part, when you hear two people talking: I used Classical Pronunciation so it should be about 90% accurate, however I didn't have info on vowel length for that text-Latin had very distinct short and long vowels, and some vowels might have been pronounced too short in that first dialogue you hear.
@@faryafaraji I managed to translate some of it; parts of it were just a hair bit too indistinct for me to make out.
Man A: "Salve." (Hello)
Man B: "Salve." (Hello)
Man A: "[unknown]. Ubi est proxima [unknown]?" (... Where is the nearest [unknown]?)
Man B: "Eh?"
Man A: "Ubi est proxima [unknown]?" (Where is the nearest [unknown]?)
Man B: "Ah, ite recte." (Go right.)
Man A: [I'm not sure what he's saying but I have a feeling it means "are you sure this leads to [unknown place]?"]
Man B: "Recte, recte." (Yes, of course.)
Man A: "[unknown] recte. Tibi gratias, tibi gratias." ([What I assume to mean "I get it"], right. Thanks.)
Man B: "Ahe, unde venis?" (Hey, where are you from?)
Man A: "Mediolanum." (Milan.)
Man B: "Mediolanum, ah. [unknown]. Vale." (Milan, ah. [What I assume to mean "Cool, cool"]. Goodbye.)
Man A: "Tibi gratias, vale, vale." (Thank you, goodbye.)
This is the perfect vibe to study to! I love it!
Amazing !! I don't understand why you don't have minimum 10 000 subscribers
Thanks alot! Honestly if only ten people enjoy the music and get something out of it, then I'm happy
@@faryafaraji That's very humble of you. We all appreciate this music, and I hope your channel and work continues to grow the way you wish. Thank you once again.
Learning and reading Latin while playing this in the background.
Wonderful work. I'd like your permission to use this for an audio book, The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.
No problem, go for it :)
@@faryafaraji That is very gracious of you. Please share your contact details so I may share a sample with you. Thank you again.
One Carthaginian dislikes Rome's glory.... Carthago delenda est.
Bring the salt.
The artwork really adds to experience
Dont forget April 21st is birth rome
Never forget
Absolutely in love with this. Perfect ambience for reading my book set in ancient Rome ♥
Thanks alot!
Which book is it?
What book?
The things I would do to time travel to Ancient Athens or Rome during their golden eras...
Today I baked bread.
Monday may 23rd 2022. just had chicken with two boiled eggs and rice and about to go to the gym. if you're reading this, remember to take care of yourself. others will only help you if you help yourself
I'm classic archaeology student and this video is perfect for preparing my exams!
This is awesome! I love the Latin parts too👌🏼
Thanks Sofia!
Sofia means wisdom!
I might be a bit emotional right now, but hearing Catullo made me cry.
Your music helps to make learning Greek and Latin into less of a torture and more of a pleasure. Thanks!
If my music managed to do that, then I'm more than honoured hahaha, I've also tried learning Ancient Greek and Latin and it can be a nightmare :p
0 dislikes just as it should be
The music truly calms the soul
ı think i fall in heaven...
Go Polytheism!!
I would love to have the translation of what is said during the casual latin conversations we hear in there, from times to times.
based
So beautiful. Happiness bubbles forth in this music 🎶 lovely
I love listening to this while playing rome total war, In southern Italy mustering new legions and training, no pressing issue, imagining a messenger being sent north looking for directions to medulanum.
I feel like Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus after a long campaign in Gaul when hearing this song.
Not much or nothing written about music in roman culture.
Yeah, it's very unfortunate. Romans were much more keen to write about crucifixions and conquests than their music, hahaha. The best we can do is extrapolate from Ancient Greek music-at least we know a little more about theirs.
Salve. The ancient world was absolute magic. 21 century is patetic in comparison. Only the spanish golden century was better. 😘
and the portuguese golden era iberian golden era in general
It's 3 BC. The first weeks of spring have gifted you warmer days and flowers in the ager, you can even see some fruits around the market. With spring came mosquitos that bug you a little bit, plus your mother is afflicted with malaria since yesterday, but well, bad air can come at any time in the year. There's garum to put on the onions and pork you're having later for dinner.
Life is good.
Hi Farya, great job! Quick question, what are the rights for this song/music? Can it be used on game develpment? Thanks a lot!
💟🌻
This is awesome! With the music and the artwork for a moment I really felt like I was living in italy sometime during the antiquity... Thank you for this!
I also just discovered Henryk Siemiradzki (name of the painter if anyone else is looking for it). Thanks again!
OMG this and the greek one are amazing, makes me fly away :) AWESOME WORK!
Thanks Fernan!
Does anyone know what is being said here?
what's the name of the painting?
I'm afraid I lost the name but I'll let you know if I come across it again!

Beautiful! This piece has become my to-go when I need some calm and peace of mind. Can you please tell me which instrument you used? It sounds fantastic.
Thank you very much, you really made my days better with this.
I read a book series called ‘The Roman mysteries’ and I feel like I’m a character from it! its by Caroline Lawrence
İ loved the painting so much
İsnt it so beatiful ?
This really transports the mind back in time and is very relaxing. Thank you for posting your artistry.
Molto, molto armoniosa ed evocativa. Grazie!
This is great brother! How about other similar ambient videos? Imagine something like " central Asian steppe Turkic Ambient" 🤩
the picture is Beautiful does anyone know the name of the picture ?

@@carango1798 thank you 👍🏻
My house is in the hills above Trujillo. A very simple place. Pink stones that warm in the sun. A kitchen garden that smells of herbs in the day, jasmine in the evening. Through the gate is a giant poplar. Figs. Apples. Pears. The soil, black like my wife's hair. Grapes on the south slopes, olives on the north. Wild ponies play near my house. They tease my son. He wants to be one of them.
The joy i am getting out pf this audio is undescribable
Plz tell me the name of this amazing painting plz plz plz thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Simply beautiful.
There is no better thing than reading "The last days of Pompeii" and at the same time listening to this majestic music on a summer evening, my spirit and soul traveled to ancient times.
Oh I remembered that day I was with my gf near the ocean chatting about how ceaser was killed by his own people
As an Italian I understand some parts of what they are saying, it's a really mystical experience
This is excelent sound for productive work and study
Thank you very much for this beautiful piece. It has helped me through many a workday.
this is honestly amazing, it calms me down in seconds
bless - thankyou
Pax Romana
I listen to this during my Ketamine infusion therapy, I feel like I am in a grassy plain near Rome
4 dislikes??? 🤨
Thank you, reading Republic with this in background has been so calming
Hmm.. you look like the christ by Henryk Siemiradzki
And yes, I am from Italy, TIAMO!!! BACHI BACHI!!!
Roman military marching songs is exciting
Greek all the way
Absolutely
La imagen y el ambiente me hacer pensar que hay sol con calor pero se hacen las 15:30 y poco a poco empieza a ventear y los árboles y muros dibujan sus sombras al sol ya no estar en la mitad. Ya no hay trabajo por hacer mientras tanto hablamos de cosas que no tienen importancia en nuestro descanso
Would it be okay if I use this for a school project as background sound for an interactive story?
No problem :)
This seems like greek.
11:00
Say, good bard, what is it you are saying at this moment, pray tell?
Yeah I do love history :D
I liked the casual conversation in the beginning
I FEEL LIKE A REAL ROMAN!!!! IM ITALIANO YAES BUT THIS IS AMAZING!!! TIAMO!
Grazie mille Sofia!
RUclips needs more ancient Roman and ancient Greek music. I could listen to either all day long.
What’s the painting? I love it
Conversation by the Spring by Henryk Siemiradzki
As an Italian i approve this
Please make more videos like these! Ancient or medieval ambiances would be awesome! I like your middle eastern music but this and the greek tune got me hooked on your chanell. Thanks for your hard work.
Listening this all nights after work! Best way to listen good music and relax, thanks !
Perfect for reading Livy
Why is the ghost of Ben Kenobi speaking Latin?
Godamnit Sidious, didn't Rey kill you? And Latin was one of the languages taught in the Jedi Academy. You know, before you had everyone slaughtered
@@faryafaraji UNLIMITED... knowledge about the classical world?
@@faryafaraji your not the only one cursed with Star Wars knowledge 😎
Atilla the Hun : “ cute music “
Hey! This is so beautiful and relaxing! May I use this in a Game I'm currently developing? If the answer is yes, how should I credit you?
Perfect for reading Aeneis, 10/10.
with this music i feel like i am in roman lusitania on a city in the morning
Her: So I heard your name was Biggus Dickus, and you have friends in high places. Why don't you tell me how you got that name first though. 😘
The music is fantastic and the painting too!
This is awesome! All the effort is most appreciated!
I listen this song while i was study next day i became Isaac newton . Nice i love it this rome music
Glad it helped, thanks!
@@faryafaraji hey by the way I am Italy I live in Rome and I love your rome songs make more ok I will support you ok
Hi! Could I possible use this as a background to a small exhibition about Roman people?
Go ahead
@@faryafaraji Thank you!
Might AD 4045, alien hyper civ scientists would try back up what humankind in the past listened to. Hope your work remains as a good demonstration for future.
This is very nice and peaceful. A pleasant thing to listen to after an exhausting day at work.
I could listen to this all day.
lovely!!
Pure bliss
