The Olympics rarely fail to disappoint in the orchestral music category. Usually the gems come from the ceremonies (think John Williams’s classic themes that have become a staple of NBC’s music package and Basil Poledouris’s Atlanta piece), but in this case, this gem, composed by Canadian composer Darren Fung, was in a network commercial highlighting their coverage and the success of the Canadian Olympic team.
