champions league music. (1 Viewer)

The UEFA Champions League Anthem, officially titled simply as "Champions League", is an arrangement by Tony Britten of Georg Frideric Handel's "Zadok the Priest" from the Coronation Anthems. UEFA commissioned Britten in 1992 to arrange their hymn, who took the beginning of "Zadok the Priest" as a starting point for his arrangement. The piece was performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields chorus in the three official languages used by UEFA: English, German, and French. The hymn's chorus is played before each UEFA Champions League game, as well as at the beginning and end of television broadcasts of the matches. The complete hymn is about three minutes long, and has two short verses and the chorus. The hymn has never been released commercially.

don't you know ANYTHING???

quiet you.
 
not a patch on "the anfield rap" or "the team that jack built"
 
the original comes up from time to time on historical documentaries. i figures it was some kind of bach or handel or baroque of some sort requiem or whatever. its quite a stirring tune in the right context. ie not just before dunphy and giles are giving out about chelsea.
