Montreal 1976 Olympics Music - Victor Vogel - The March of the Athletes #1

[senorkaboom]

Some of the best Olympic music next to John Williams. Thank you for posting this.

My recollection is that Andre Mathieu killed himself long before and that Victor Vogel finished it and adapted it for the Olympics.

@murphyj87 : he died over 8 years before the Olympics. He had stopped composing probably 15 years before that. That makes 23 years of separation.

the original album lists andre mathieu as composer

Thanks for posting this. I had the record they put out after the Olympics in 1976 with this wonderful music. This is the most memorable music for me from any Olympiad.

I have not been able to find a modern disk with this soundtrack on it. Too bad.

The march recalls me to:

- Ben Hur´s: March of the Auriges by Miklos Rozsa

- Dad´s was a Rolling Stone.

A great piece...

Great. Thx for posting it. Wasn't this music also used at the Montreal Swimstadium during the walk-in of the athletes ?

BTW

Are there any DVD Collection about the Montreal 76 Olympics?

Do you happen to have the track - Ballet Rock Movement (homage to the athletes)?

It was used as a theme to CTV National News, and it was also used on a few American stations (i.e. FOX 40 KTXL in Sacremento, CA)
