"Now We Are Free" by Lisa Gerrard (with Hans Zimmer)

Fans of Dead Can Dance have known for years the power that's in the voice of Lisa Gerrard (who was born on this day in 1961); it took Ridley Scott, though, to bring her powerful gift to the widest possible audience...

Pairing her with Hans Zimmer, the two composed a haunting soundtrack for Scott's 2000 film Gladiator, for which they received a Golden Globe and were Oscar-nominated.
