Editing Xena: Warrior Princess (section)

===Theme music===
Composer [[Joseph LoDuca]] wrote the [[theme music]] and [[incidental music]], and co-wrote the lyrics for the songs in "[[The Bitter Suite]]." The theme music was developed from the traditional [[Bulgaria]]n folk song ''"[[Kaval sviri]],"'' sung by the [[Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir]]. The original "Kaval sviri" can be heard where Xena races into battle in the ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys|Hercules]]'' episode "[[Unchained Heart]]."

The musical score of ''Xena: Warrior Princess'' was critically well received and garnered seven [[Emmy]] nominations for [[Joseph LoDuca|LoDuca]], who won the Emmy award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore) for the Season 5 episode ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess (season 5)#ep1|Fallen Angel]]'' in 2000. Most of the series' music was made available on six soundtrack albums. Two of these albums contain the soundtracks from the musical episodes "[[The Bitter Suite]]" (Season 3) and "[[Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire]]" (Season 5).
