This music is “Sura's Theme“ from the television series, SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND. I am playing it on a Moog Etherwave Pro theremin, and a replica of an ancient Greek lyre known as the “chelys“. According to Greek legend, this instrument was invented by the god Hermes, who took the shell of a tortoise and the horns of an antelope, stretched a skin over the shell then added some strings. He later gave the instrument to Orpheus. The chelys in this video has 12 strings and is tuned to a diatonic scale. If you are curious about the chelys and how it was made, here is a page on my website with more information
