The Spartacus Love Theme
 |
| Spartacus and Sura |

| Crixus and Naevia |

| Gannicus and Melitta |
In the midst of my semi-serious very serious and unrelenting obsession with the Starz series Spartacus, I've also become completely infatuated with the soundtracks of each of the four seasons. Composer Joseph LoDuca has created some of the most passionate, powerful, nuanced, and expressive orchestral music I've heard in quite a while. Also, his implementation of Middle-Eastern instruments and vocalists gives the scores a sense of the time and location of the historical legend that is the story of Spartacus and his army of rebels.
While watching the series, I'm sure many fans noticed the beautiful musical theme that represents Sura, the wife of Spartacus. We hear it when Spartacus and Sura are together, when Spartacus thinks of her, and when she is returned to the ludus injured and dying. LoDuca also uses this elegant theme in other love scenes/scenarios: those of Crixus and Naevia, and of Gannicus and Melitta. We hear it for the last time in War of the Damned when Spartacus is ready for Crassus to take his life as he imagines being reunited with Sura. Here are some tracks in which the theme is heard. The only purpose of this post is to appreciate and enjoy the music. Cheers!
No Life Without You - Blood and Sand
Leaving Sura - Blood and Sand
