Sons of Mars - Epic Roman Music

[@faryafaraji]

NOTES ON THE PRONUNCIATION AND THE LYRICS: Firstly please keep in mind that this is in NO WAY a historical piece from Ancient Rome or historically accurate Roman piece, it’s entirely modern. Pronunciation: 1. For those believing that the "ae" cluster should be pronounced as "e", and that the "v" sound should not be pronounced as a "w,"-you're right insofar as Ecclesiastical Latin is concerned, but Ecclesiastical Latin is a medieval convention and is not representative of Latin pronunciation in Antiquity. The convention I'm using is Classical Latin-the reconstructed urban pronunciation of Latin in the city of Rome from around 100 B.C to 200 A.D. Here is a video by Raffaelo Urbani, aka Metatron, the channel I've dedicated this song to, which describes both conventions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoS4onlpZ8l-pLc I don't claim to be an academic linguist, but Urbani is, and his material on Latin is excellent. Another video explaining the respective features of both conventions is Luke Ranieri's, a fluent speaker of Latin who does excellent educational videos on the subject which I highly recommend you check out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpbUhaiGj9tsl9U 2. For those aware of Classical Latin, and who know that the "ae" cluster in "lupae" and "capitolinae" should be a diphthong, I had to sing it as two separate syllables in order to follow the melody; it's the same logic as when in All Star, the singer says "I ain't the sharpest tool in the she-ed," it's quite common in all languages to play around with phonetics to match the melody, and we have attestation of Ancient Romans breaking diphthongs into two-syllables for poetic effect, but keep in mind it's not representative of everyday spoken Latin. And no, the diphthong was not pronounced like the sound “eye” in English, this is a common misconception especially from English learners of Latin who are given the closest equivalent in English for convenience. The diphthong ended in a “a-eh” sound, not an “eye” one, you can refer to Polymathy’s video for this one. However there is a lack of distinction between long and short vowels, which was central to Latin phonology, and the lack of distinction between the two betrays one of the most important aspects of the Latin language. Whether Roman singing did emphasise short and long vowel distinctions is not known to us, but it's very possible that their music took it into account since their poetry did, and it's something I haven't reflected in this piece, which damages the historical aspect of the pronunciation alot; I also didn't take into account stress accent, which wasn't fixed in Latin. Another valid criticism would be the "s" sounds, which are too high pitched for Classical Latin and not retracted enough (think of the S sound northern Spanish or Greek people produce, it's in between a SH and S sound,) my microphone unfortunately reacts badly to retracted S sounds when I add reverberation to it and distorts the sound, so I'm forced to sing it as a high pitched S to preserve audio quality. Concerning the lyrics: Two commenters have kindly offered breakdowns of the lyrics which I'll summarise here. "Exurge Mars, Mars Ultor," is an imperative phrase in this case, where the singer is calling upon Mars and asking him to awake, and not asking someone else to awake Mars. In that case, it would be "Exurge Martem Ultorem." "Roma et Imperator," I translated as "for Rome and the Emperor." This is a very idiomatic translation that conveys the meaning poetically, not literally. In a literal sense, "Roma et Imperator" only means "Rome and the Emperor," not "for Rome and the Emperor." The translation I provided is more poetic in the sense that an English soldier yelling "God and country" means "for God and Country" in an idiomatic fashion. "Viribus unitis," literally means "united strength," more than "with forces united," the latter again being a more idiomatic translation on my part. "Semper fidelis" here is again very idiomatic. The "loyal" here doesn't describe the army as a "we", where in that case it would be "semper fideles." It can be seen more as an exclamation of loyalty from the entire army as one unit, or each soldier referring to himself. A more literal translation would therefore be: Through hardship to the stars, To the stars through hardships, Awake Mars the Avenger (this is a command directly addresses to Mars), Rome and the Emperor, Strength united, Forever loyal (either the army is as a unit, forever loyal, or "I am forever loyal," but this cannot mean "WE are forever loyal) We are the sons of the Capitoline Wolf. Many thanks again to Charles and Boris for commenting on the lyrics.

[@KimKhan]

That's interesting on the "ae". I was taught this same pronunciation by my mother, a Swedish doctor's assistant and receptionist. I suppose each country teaches their own take on Latin.

[@faryafaraji]

@@KimKhan Each country and even different institutions within the same country choose one pronunciation convention to use. They're all perfectly valid in my eyes; we just need to remember not to project them as a universal truth as if Latin was always pronounced the same over all its history, geography and social context.

[@Tiberian1986]

I am german and they taught us in our latin lessons to pronounce the ae either like "a e (like in this video)" or like the german Ä/ä which is AE/ae. In the 15 century, when ppl stopped to write mainly latin in the holy roman empire german nations, they used still the latin alphabet but the special germanic "a" sound didnt exist in latin so they added to the a an e -> ae which sounded similar as the latin ae. Over the centuries they became lazy and the e was shorten more and more and in the end only the dots (part of the old german font e) remained over the a as ä. Many german Ä/ae words have their origin in latin.

[@ronnieman87]

Sons of Dacia Trajana! Bogdan how similar is the Romanian language to Latin compared to the other Romance languages like Spanish, French and Italian?

[@bogdan3386]

@@ronnieman87 it's a little complicated. We also have words from Dacian, Slavic languages, Hungarian and even Turkish. Tho in terms of grammar there is a lot of similarity, Romanian is also phonetical language like classical Latin and we kept the neutral gender compared to the other Neo-Latin languages. Also most Roman colonists in Dacia came from places in the Middle East like Syria for example and they brought a version of Latin called vulgar Latin and those colonists brought words of uncertain origin that are part of Romanian, so it is estimated that between 30-60% of Romanian words are of Latin origin, 80-300 words of Dacian origin, between 10-20% of the words are of Slavic origin, other Balkan languages like Illyrian language, Italian, French, German and English words, Turkic words, Greek words, Hungarian words and so on. The region of Romania was at the crossroads of different migrating populations that it's origins are still studied to this day. In the 19th century when nationalism was common in Europe the intelectuals at the time tried their hardest to make Romanian resemble Latin more and more even replacing the Cyrillic alphabet that was commonly used with the Latin one but since the 90s the study of Romanian history became a more serious matter so historians and linguistics started to look again into Romanian language so some percentages of words origin in Romanian are all over the place and there are many contradicting arguments because historians need to filter through old nationalistic bias and the neglect done by the communists especially when it came to archeology. For example Neagu Djuvara a well known Romanian historian of the 21st century came with the thesis (that I intend to read during the summer because I'm curious how he arrived at that conclusion) that Romanians are more linked to Pechenegs and Cumans than Latins. But despite all of that it is still commonly agreed that the Latin origina of Romania are quite strong despite some weird pseudohistorians that are not worth bothering with.
