00:00Music to me is language, it's the final dialogue, it gives the film that added dynamic as and
00:11when you may need it.
00:14Here we go, here's bar six everybody, six, two, three, four.
00:29Ridley truly is an extraordinarily good composer, he stuns me with what he is capable of doing.
00:38The music that I've written contains elements of Hans's original gladiator theme, sounds
00:43that can be achieved and captured here is second to none.
00:50Ridley is quite an open book when it comes to music, but he'll talk to me about light
00:54and darkness and then I'll interpret it in a musical way.
01:00There's a good balance between big action sequences and the sort of power, 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 Colosseum.
01:18In the script one line said, at this moment Lucius becomes Maximus, I thought what if
01:26I can create a theme for Lucius that becomes Hans's theme from the first movie.
01:33I love that he took it and just expanded it, making something which is so extraordinary.
01:40Music is a statement, it's a sound statement and I think they're going to love it.
01:48What is the dream of Rome?
01:50For people who are not free.
