i got a question....

In the Gladiator theme music in this video, what instruments are playing right in the beginning? Violins?

Any responses are kindly appreciated. Thank you.

Cellos, Violas probably at first, possibly a double bass then the violins come in.

It's one of the best pieces of cinematic music ever created. Zimmer is truly a magician with composition.

Beautiful cinema track. Love the vocalist, slightly Gaelic.

Yes, she leaves me speechless

Kirsty Hawkshaw has the same effect on me. She is a friend of one in the family. Awesome voice, great range. Without my wishing to off-topic your thread with a YT vid of my own, listen to Kirsty sometime on this track: Mr Sam - Insight (T4L Deep Impact Mix) [HD]

Zimmer writes the most evocative of music. He's an inspiration to all lovers of cinematic music.

i'll check out the video.....

Yes Zimmer is gifted.....his music catches my soul off-guard and takes my breath away...

I made a post the other day elsewhere on how Zimmer now shares my number one favourite spot of cinematic composers with Michael Kamen. I only wonder what Kamen would be creating these days if he were still alive.
