Just Like a Roman: A Fact Filled History Song by Suzy Davies (Songsheets)

Product Information

The cithara was a seven- stringed instrument used by the ancient Romans similar to the modern guitar. [98] The Roman tuba was a long, straight bronze trumpet with a detachable, conical mouthpiece like that of the modern French horn. Extant examples are about 1.3 meters long, and have a cylindrical bore from the mouthpiece to the point where the bell flares abruptly, [94] similar to the modern straight trumpet seen in presentations of 'period music'. Since there were no valves, the tuba was capable only of a single overtone series that would probably sound familiar to the modern ear, given the limitations of musical acoustics for instruments of this construction. [95] In the military, it was used for " bugle calls". The tuba is also depicted in art such as mosaics accompanying games ( ludi) and spectacle events. Landels, John (1999).

Music was a popular form of entertainment in ancient Rome. [33] It was important to ancient Roman games. [34] [35] Gladiatorial fights began with a blast of horns and were accompanied by music. [36] [37] Musicians, usually players of the tuba or large aerophones would play during triumphs. [38] The tibia was used to draw in the viewer's attention during the ceremony and a trumpet was used to announce the presence of the triumphator. [14] Music was also used to silence the crowd. [39] Music, primarily pipe music, [40] held an important place in ancient Roman theatre. [41] [42] [43] [44] During plays, the actors, pantomimes, and tragedians would be accompanied by a chorus of singers and an orchestra of wind or percussion instruments. [31] They would dance to the tune of the instruments. [31] Musicians could be driven off of the stage for even small musical errors. [45] The tune of the instruments would signify the emotions and traits of the characters and the pace of the story. [46] [47] Music was also used to ensure the story remained in the memory of audiences. [48] What is weather? How does it vary in the UK throughout the year?
