The theme music "Now We Are Free" from the movie Gladiator was composed by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, with vocals performed by Gerrard. It is a central piece in the film's critically acclaimed and award-winning soundtrack.

Composers: The music was a collaboration between the renowned film composer Hans Zimmer and Australian musician/vocalist Lisa Gerrard.

Vocalist: Lisa Gerrard provided the haunting, ethereal vocals that are a signature of the track.
Lyrics: The lyrics are not in any actual language, but rather in a unique, "invented language" (the "language of the Heart") that Gerrard has used in her personal work for many years. This was intended to evoke emotion through sound rather than specific meaning.

Orchestral Instrumentation: The piece uses a mix of traditional orchestral elements (pianos, cellos) and indigenous instruments, such as the Armenian duduk (a flute-like instrument) and African percussion, to create its unique atmosphere.

Film Context: The song serves as the powerful closing theme for the film, accompanying the final scene as the protagonist, Maximus, achieves his vengeance and transitions to the afterlife to reunite with his family.
