Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
When I was in the military, I always enjoyed marching and singing cadence. It is impressive to see and hear.
You might as well post the, "Gracchus, something more cheerful"
We really have no idea how any Roman music sounded except for extrapolation of rhythm from poetry and the instruments they used. Everything else is guesswork.
So some very superficial music theory here.
Metres were not invented until around Renaissance. Music did have rhythms when accompanied but were quite rudimentary and non-recurring.
So it means singing a passage A by someone and a passage B by someone else would be almost impossible to expect them both to arrive back at the same time for the next section.
Forms were not invented until somewhere around Baroque. Form means larger sections being repeated to make a song coherent. The most typical one is a "da-capo form", meaning ABA. You sing a section here, then another section, then back to your original section.
Take Gregorian Chants and that'd be what music basically sounded like before the inventions of these "Classical" tools.
Also Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciations in the video instead of something "Roman".
Is this based off old scripts?
That's one helluva fast cadence. Almost a double time, really.
Fuck humping along at that speed.
This is really cool. Even if itโs not totally accurate, it brings Rome back to life in a new light. And itโs stuck in my head now.
This is from the facebook post of the extra's who portray the legionnaires
Not historically accurate, but check out the final movement of the Italian composer Respighiโs work The Pines of Rome, in which he depicts a Roman legion marching down the Appian Way: https://youtu.be/GpcdsAIdKhg
Theyโre pronouncing the โVโ incorrectly, are they not?
