Musical impact
In April 2006, a law firm representing the Holst Foundation filed a lawsuit claiming that Zimmer had infringed the copyright of composer Gustav Holst's The Planets. The organization claimed that Zimmer copied Holst's track "Mars, the Bringer of War" in the Gladiator score. The case was settled out of court.[3][4]
Film music critics have noted that the Gladiator score also borrows from works by Richard Wagner, particularly themes from Siegfried and Götterdämmerung.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
In 2003, the singer Luciano Pavarotti released the album Ti Adoro, which includes the song "Il gladiatore" ("The Gladiator"). Pavarotti told Billboard magazine that he was originally meant to sing this song for Gladiator, but ultimately decided against it.[5]
