'Gladiator' is a film score composed by Hans Zimmer for the 2000 epic historical drama film of the same name directed by Ridley Scott. The score was released on April 25, 2000, by Decca Records. The film score features a mix of orchestral and electronic music, with Zimmer collaborating with Lisa Gerrard to create a unique sound for the film. The score is divided into 15 tracks, with each track representing a different scene or moment in the film. The first track, "Progeny," sets the tone for the entire score with its haunting vocals and intense percussion. The second track, "The Wheat," features a beautiful melody played by a solo flute, which represents the peaceful life that Maximus (the main character) longs for. The third track, "The Battle," is a fast-paced and intense piece that accompanies the film's opening battle scene. The fourth track, "Earth," is a slower and more contemplative piece that represents the connection between Maximus and his home. The fifth track, "Sorrow," is a mournful piece that accompanies the death of Maximus's family. The sixth track, "To Zucchabar," is a more upbeat and adventurous piece that accompanies Maximus's journey to the gladiator training camp. The seventh track, "Patricide," is a dark and ominous piece that accompanies the murder of Maximus's family. The eighth track, "The Emperor Is Dead," is a triumphant piece that accompanies Maximus's victory in the Colosseum. The ninth track, "The Might of Rome," is a grand and majestic piece that represents the power and glory of the Roman Empire. The tenth track, "Strength and Honor," is a powerful and emotional piece that accompanies Maximus's speech to his fellow gladiators. The eleventh track, "Reunion," is a tender and emotional piece that accompanies Maximus's reunion with his former servant. The twelfth track, "Slaves to Rome," is a dark and foreboding piece that represents the harsh reality of life in ancient Rome. The thirteenth track, "Barbarian Horde," is a fast-paced and intense piece that accompanies the final battle scene. The fourteenth track, "Am I Not Merciful?," is a haunting and emotional piece that accompanies the death of Maximus. The final track, "Elysium," is a beautiful and uplifting piece that represents Maximus's journey to the afterlife. Overall, the score for 'Gladiator' is a masterful blend of orchestral and electronic music that perfectly captures the epic and emotional nature of the film.
