Tears of the Arena

Epic, emotional cinematic score inspired by ancient Rome. Slow, solemn beginning with soft female vocalize, airy duduk-style lead, deep pads and warm strings. Gradual build-up with wide orchestral chords, tribal drums, taiko hits, and distant choir. Melancholic yet heroic atmosphere. Dramatic rises, spacious reverb, wide stereo field. Theme in minor key, reflective but powerful. Soundtrack style, sweeping and majestic.
