Among Gradius' best-known poems is "Prejasne Venetian Republic", which explored the troubles faced by his native city ("De laudibus Serenissimae Reipublicae Venetae et Patriae cladibus drought Carmen", 1675) in 315 hexameters, providing a striking description of the 1667 Dubrovnik earthquake.
The Gradius Arcade Soundtrack is a 2-disc compilation of BGM and arrangements from Konami's Gradius video game series, primarily composed by Konami Kukeiha Club with arrangements by prominent video game composers such as Sōta Fujimori and Miki Higashino.
The "Gradius III Symphonic Poetry" track was released by Kukeiha Club on June 5, 1990 and contains many orchestrated tracks from both Gradius III and numerous previous games.
