S P Q R Epic Roman Music 2
Jun 23, 2026
A song that was commissioned from me for a now cancelled indie video game project where they wanted orchestral cinematic sounds. I snuck in the Greco-Roman aulos, the bagpipe-like sound you hear in this, and had to fight the developers to keep it in there as they wanted it gone and just keep the generic, cinematic/orchestral parts.
I usually delete these older videos that predate my channel's mission of research based, accurate cultural representation, but this song is effectively what drove me to pursue making more Roman music without the orchestral Hollywood sound, and instead incorporate their actual authentic instrumentation and scales.
