00:00Music, to me, is language.
00:05It's the final dialogue that gives the film that added dynamic, as and when you may need
00:19it.
00:20Here we go.
00:21Here's bar six, everybody.
00:22Six, two, three, four.
00:23Harry truly is an extraordinarily good composer.
00:33He stuns me with what he is capable of doing.
00:38The music that I've written contains elements of Hans's original Gladiator theme.
00:43Sounds that could be achieved and captured here is second to none.
00:50He is quite an open book when it comes to music, but he'll talk to me about light and
00:54darkness.
00:55And then I'll interpret it in a musical way.
00:59There's a good balance between big action sequences and the sort of power and nobility
01:06of the Roman Empire.
01:08This is what they believe in, power.
01:11Ridley's really upped the ante here with the epic battles in the Coliseum.
01:17In the script, one line said, at this moment, Lucius becomes Maximus.
01:23I thought, what if I can create a theme for Lucius that becomes Hans' theme from the first
01:30movie?
01:31I love that he took it and just expanded it, making something which is so extraordinary.
01:39Music is a statement.
01:41It's a sound statement.
01:43And I think they're going to love it.
01:47What is the dream of Rome?
01:50The people are not free.
